3. Company Structure and Program Operator

NYS Markets Ltd is incorporated under the laws of Saint Lucia with registration number 2025-00862 and registered office at Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia.

NYS Corp Limited, located at RM 07, 12/F., Chevalier Comm Centre, 8 Wang Hoi Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, operating under License No. 79368293, is responsible for payment processing and related payment administration for the NYS Markets platform.

References in these Terms to the “Company”, “NYS”, “we”, “our”, or “us” may refer, as context requires, to NYS Markets Ltd and/or NYS Corp Limited in connection with their respective Program and administrative functions.

4. Eligibility

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, possess legal capacity to contract, are acting on your own behalf, have provided accurate registration information, and are legally permitted to access the Program from your location. The Company may refuse, suspend, or terminate access where eligibility requirements are not satisfied.

5. Regional Restrictions

Eligibility is based on the Trader’s country of permanent residence rather than temporary physical location. The Programs are available to residents of eligible jurisdictions, including the United States. They are not offered to residents of jurisdictions subject to comprehensive international sanctions or embargoes, or otherwise designated as restricted, under the lists maintained by the United Nations, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union, and the United Kingdom. These currently include, without limitation: Afghanistan, Belarus, the Central African Republic, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Myanmar (Burma), Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Zimbabwe, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. Residents of the United Arab Emirates are eligible for the simulated Programs only and are not eligible for Live accounts or any live-capital allocation.

Restrictions may change at any time to reflect applicable law, sanctions, payment-provider requirements, risk controls, or Company policy. It is the Trader’s responsibility to ensure lawful access.

6. Identity Verification (KYC)

The Company may require identity and account verification before or after purchase, before progression, before Funded status, before a payout, or at any other time. Verification may include government-issued identification, proof of address, selfie and liveness checks, payment verification, source-of-funds information, tax documentation, and other information reasonably required for compliance or fraud prevention. Failure to complete verification may result in suspension, termination, payout cancellation, or permanent account closure.

7. AML, Sanctions and Fraud Compliance

The Company may conduct anti-money laundering, sanctions, payment-fraud, and related compliance reviews. Suspicious or prohibited activity may result in account restrictions, termination, withholding or cancellation of unpaid performance rewards where legally permitted, and reporting to competent authorities where required by law.

8. Nature of the Program

All Program Accounts operate in a simulated trading environment unless the Company and Trader separately enter into an express written agreement stating otherwise. Participation is designed for evaluation, education, risk assessment, and simulated performance measurement. No client deposit is placed by the Trader into a brokerage account for trading through these Programs. Any performance-based compensation is governed solely by the applicable Program Specifications and these Terms and is subject to verification, risk review, and compliance approval.

9. No Brokerage or Investment Services

NYS Corp Limited and NYS Markets Ltd do not, through these Programs, act as a broker, investment manager, investment adviser, fiduciary, exchange, custodian, or regulated financial entity under MiFID II, ESMA, the SEC, the CFTC, the DFSA, or any other regulatory regime merely by providing access to the simulated Program environment. Nothing provided by the Company constitutes personalized investment advice, portfolio management, or a solicitation to trade regulated financial instruments.

10. Account Ownership and Personal Use

Each Account is personal to the registered Trader. Selling, renting, lending, transferring, sharing credentials, allowing another person to trade, purchasing an Account from another participant, or using third-party account management is prohibited unless expressly approved in writing.

11. Multiple Accounts and Account Linking

Traders may hold only the number and aggregate allocation permitted by the applicable Program. Attempts to circumvent limits through duplicate identities, relatives, friends, companies, payment methods, devices, or other structures are prohibited. The Company may link Accounts using identity data, device and browser fingerprints, IP information, payment methods, geographic information, behavioral analysis, trading similarities, and fraud-detection technology.

12. Company Monitoring and Records

All Account and Trading Activity may be continuously recorded and reviewed for security, compliance, risk management, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and Program integrity. Monitoring may include manual review, automated review, statistical analysis, behavioral scoring, device analysis, network analysis, and AI-assisted pattern recognition.

13. Privacy and Data Processing

Personal information is processed in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Policy and may be shared with payment providers, identity-verification providers, compliance vendors, fraud-prevention vendors, cloud and technology providers, and competent authorities where required by law.

14. Company Discretion and Risk Management

Subject to applicable law and these Terms, the Company may review Accounts, request additional verification, restrict Trading Activity, delay progression or payouts during review, correct platform or data errors, suspend or close Accounts, and cancel rewards attributable to rule violations, abuse, fraud, or prohibited conduct. Risk, compliance, fraud, and abuse determinations are made based on the totality of available evidence and may include conduct that technically appears to satisfy an isolated rule while defeating the purpose of the Program.

15. Amendments and Program Specifications

The Company may update these Terms and Program Specifications. Unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise, material economic changes to pricing or Program structure generally apply to future purchases. Risk, security, anti-fraud, market-integrity, legal, or compliance controls may apply immediately where reasonably necessary. If a conflict exists between general language in these Terms and a specific Program Specification applicable to an Account, the specific Program Specification governs for that Account.
