Plain words, meant to be read. Anything unclear? Ask support before agreeing to it.
The agreement
From the moment you open a Meridian account until it is closed, these terms apply. By using the account you accept them.
You must be eighteen or older, live in a country we serve, and act on your own behalf, not for anyone we have not verified.
Your account
Only you may operate your account, and you may have just one. Its name has to match the identity documents it was verified with.
Tell support at once if you suspect your credentials or second factor have been compromised; keeping both secure is your responsibility.
An account may be suspended where we are obliged to do so, where verification cannot be finished, or where the activity suggests someone other than its owner is operating it.
Trading
Execution happens at whatever price is available on arrival at the market. When markets move fast, this can differ from the price on screen as you placed the order.
Futures positions can use leverage of up to x200, and leverage magnifies results in both directions. If the margin behind a position runs out, the position can be closed automatically, and the whole margin committed to it may be lost.
With cross margin, a single pool backs all open positions, so a loss on any one of them uses margin the others depend on.
A gap in the market can fill a stop at a worse price than your level, so stop loss and take profit orders reduce risk without ending it.
Funding and withdrawals
Funds are credited on settlement. For crypto that means network confirmation; for other methods, it depends on which rail you used.
We never pay out to third parties: a withdrawal goes only to a destination you own and have confirmed in advance.
A withdrawal may be held while we finish checks we are obliged to carry out; if that happens, we will say what is still outstanding.
Investment and staking plans
Each plan opens with a published rate and term. You see both before committing, and neither changes while that plan runs.
Funds in a plan stay locked for its term and can be neither traded nor withdrawn before the plan closes on its date.
Plans already under way are untouched by any change in rates, which for new plans may shift at any moment.
Fees
Before you place an order, the ticket shows its trading fee, which is charged in the quote currency of the position.
Overnight positions carry a funding cost, applied each day and shown against the position.
Any rise in a published fee is announced by email at least thirty days ahead.
Risk
Not everyone should trade financial instruments: the risk is high, and you may lose what you deposit.
No content on this website or in the platform is a recommendation or investment advice. Examples showing how a feature works are illustrations, not forecasts.
How an instrument performed in the past is no reliable guide to how it will perform in the future.
Liability
Where we fail to provide the service with reasonable care and skill, we are liable for the losses that failure causes.
We bear no liability for losses caused by an outage of a network or exchange or another interruption beyond our control, by market movements, or by your own trading decisions.
These terms do not limit any liability that the law does not allow to be limited.
Ending the agreement
Once your positions are closed and your plans have run to the end of their term, you may close the account whenever you like: withdraw the balance and ask support to close it.
Thirty days’ notice from us ends the agreement; we can also end it straight away where required by law or where fraud has been committed through the account.
Neither side's existing obligations, nor the records we must keep, are affected by closure.
Governing law
These terms are subject to the law of the Republic of Cyprus, and any dispute goes before the Cypriot courts. Protections you have under the law of your home country still apply.
