Terms of Service

1. Who we are

The A-Book Funded service (the “Service”) is operated by the company identified on our Legal page (“we”, “us”, the “Company”), a private company limited by shares registered in England and Wales. You can reach us at support@abook-funded.uk.

2. What the Service is, and what it is not

We provide simulated trading evaluations. All evaluation and funded accounts are simulated accounts operating on fictitious funds in a simulated environment. We are not a broker, we do not accept deposits, we do not hold client funds for investment, we do not execute orders on financial markets on your behalf, and nothing in the Service constitutes investment advice or a solicitation to trade real financial instruments.

Rewards are calculated on your simulated performance under these Terms and the account rules. Qualified traders may become eligible for our discretionary replication program, under which the Company may replicate strategies with its own capital on real markets. Any replication is at the Company's sole discretion, uses the Company's own funds and creates no client relationship, no managed account and no entitlement for the trader; rewards remain calculated on simulated performance whether or not a trade is replicated.

3. Eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old and act in your own name.
• One person, one identity: each participant may hold accounts only under their own verified identity. Letting a third party trade your account is prohibited.
• The Service is not available to residents of restricted jurisdictions (see the Legal page) or to persons subject to applicable sanctions.

4. How we contact you

By accepting these terms at checkout, you agree that we may contact you about your order and your account by email, SMS and phone, at the details you give us. These are contract-performance messages: access credentials, invoice, confirmations, rule warnings, identity verification requests and payout notifications. They are not optional while your account is open.

Marketing is handled separately. We will only send offers, promotions or marketing content if you opt in for that specifically, and every such message carries a one-click unsubscribe that does not affect the service messages above.

Keeping your contact details current is your responsibility. A message properly sent to the registered address is treated as delivered, even if you did not read it.

5. Account rules, versioned, never retroactive

The complete trading rules (objectives, loss limits, consistency rule, prohibited practices and their exact definitions) are published on the Program page. Rules are versioned and dated; the version in force when you purchase applies to your account for its entire life. A new version never applies retroactively to existing accounts.

Prohibited practices include, without limitation: exploiting price-feed errors or latency, hedging across accounts (within or outside the Service), coordinated or group trading, copy trading from third parties, account sharing or passing services, and martingale-style loss compounding as defined in the rules. Any enforcement decision is backed by recorded data that you can request and review.

6. Fees

Access to an evaluation is subject to a one-time fee displayed before purchase. The fee pays for the evaluation service, infrastructure, market data, platform access and support. It is refunded in full with your second payout (third on The Starter). Our refund and withdrawal policy is set out in the Refund Policy.

7. Rewards and payouts

Compliant payout requests are processed within 48 business hours. Identity verification (KYC) is required before the first payout. Payouts are made in EUR by SEPA transfer, by international wire or in cryptocurrency, at your choice, to an account or wallet held in your own name. Every payout is recorded in our public registry (amount, dates, processing time).

8. Breach and termination

Violating the account rules ends the account concerned. Fraud, identity misrepresentation or prohibited practices may lead to termination of all your accounts and forfeiture of unpaid simulated rewards. We may terminate the Service relationship with reasonable notice; you may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by nature survive termination (liability, disputes, IP) survive.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, its content, branding and software remain our property or that of our licensors. You receive a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose.

10. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. Subject to that, the Service is provided “as is”; our aggregate liability for claims arising out of the Service is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months preceding the claim; and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Simulated performance does not represent actual trading and is no guarantee of future results.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence. Contact us first at support@abook-funded.uk, most issues are resolved directly with support.
