Terms & Conditions

1.Who we are and what these terms cover

These terms form a binding contract between you and Next Scale Funded Trading Technologies Ltd., company number [company number to be confirmed] ("we", "us"). They apply every time you create an account, buy an evaluation or use this website.

By completing checkout you confirm that you have read these terms, the Risk Disclosure, the Rewards & Payouts Policy, the Refund and Cancellation Policy and the Privacy Policy, and that you accept them.

We may update these terms. The version you accepted at checkout is recorded against your order and continues to govern accounts already purchased. Material changes are notified by email and take effect for new purchases from the stated date.

2.Nature of the service

We provide paid access to simulated trading evaluations. Customers do not deposit investment capital and customer funds are not traded or managed by the company. Successful participants may become eligible for contractual performance-based rewards based on qualifying simulated trading performance.

All accounts provided through this programme are simulated trading accounts using virtual funds. No customer funds are deposited into or managed through these accounts. Simulated trading results do not represent actual market profits. Performance-based rewards are subject to the applicable programme rules, eligibility requirements and verification.

Next Scale Funded Trading Technologies Ltd. is a technology and assessment provider. It is not a broker, dealer, bank, payment institution, exchange, custodian, fund manager or investment adviser, it does not hold or transmit client money, and it holds no authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority or any other regulator. Nothing on this website is an offer of a regulated investment, a financial promotion or investment advice.

No order you place in the platform is transmitted to, or executed on, any live market on your behalf. Prices are sourced from third-party market-data providers for simulation purposes only and may differ from prices available elsewhere.

3.Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, acting in your own name and for your own account, and legally able to enter into this contract in your country of residence.

You must not be resident in, or accessing the service from, a jurisdiction listed on our Restricted Countries page, and you must not be subject to UK, EU, UN or US sanctions or appear on any applicable sanctions or terrorist-financing list.

One person may hold one customer account. Accounts may not be shared, sold, transferred or operated on behalf of another person.

We may decline, suspend or close any account where eligibility cannot be verified, and we may require identity verification at any time.

4.Registration, security and accurate information

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us and for keeping it up to date, and for keeping your login credentials confidential.

You are responsible for all activity carried out through your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.

5.Evaluation programmes and the rules that apply

Each evaluation is governed by the programme configuration displayed at the time of purchase: profit target, daily loss limit, maximum drawdown, consistency requirement, maximum risk per trade, minimum and maximum trading days and profit split.

Those parameters are recorded against your account when it is created. Later changes to a published programme do not apply retroactively to accounts already purchased.

Breaching the daily loss limit, the maximum drawdown or the maximum risk per trade ends the evaluation immediately and the account is closed. Rule evaluation is performed by our server-side rules engine and its records are the definitive record of your result.

Passing an evaluation entitles you to progress to the next phase or to a simulated funded account on the published terms. It does not create an employment relationship, a partnership, an agency, an allocation of capital to you, or any entitlement to trade our money or anyone else's.

6.Fees, taxes and payment

Evaluation fees and reset fees are one-off charges for access to the service and are shown inclusive of any applicable taxes before you pay. Any discount applied by a valid promotional code is shown before you confirm.

Fees are charged in the currency shown at checkout. Your bank or card issuer may apply its own conversion or foreign-transaction charges, which are not ours and are not refundable by us.

You warrant that you are the authorised holder of the payment method used. We may cancel an order and close the related account where a payment is reversed, charged back or found to be fraudulent.

Payment card details are collected and processed by our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers on our systems.

7.Your right to cancel

As a consumer you have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of purchase under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

Because access to the evaluation is supplied digitally and immediately, at checkout you are asked to consent to immediate supply and to acknowledge that you lose the right to cancel once the service has been fully performed. Where you have consented but have not yet placed a trade, we still refund the fee in full within the 14-day window as a matter of policy.

Full detail, including how the evaluation fee is returned with a first reward, is in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

8.Performance-based rewards

A reward is a contractual payment made by us in recognition of qualifying simulated trading performance. It is not a withdrawal of customer funds, a return on an investment, a share of trading profits made in live markets, or a payment of interest — there is no customer capital in any account.

Reward eligibility, minimum thresholds, the profit split, waiting periods, cycles and processing fees are set out in the Rewards & Payouts Policy, which forms part of these terms.

Rewards are paid only after identity verification is complete, only to an account in your own name, and only where the underlying performance complies with these terms and the Prohibited Practices policy. We may withhold or reverse a reward, and close the related account, where a breach is identified.

9.Prohibited practices

You must not use strategies whose profitability depends on limitations of the simulation rather than genuine market movement. This includes latency or feed arbitrage, exploiting erroneous or stale quotes, tick scalping, group hedging across accounts or between customers, coordinated or copy trading between customers and abuse of the news-event window.

Automated strategies and expert advisors are permitted. They are subject to the same published conduct rules as manual trading, including minimum hold time and the news buffer.

You must not attempt to interfere with, reverse-engineer, overload or gain unauthorised access to the platform, or use it for money laundering, sanctions evasion, fraud or any unlawful purpose.

Where a breach is found, affected trades may be nullified, the account may be closed without refund and any pending reward may be withheld. Full detail is on the Prohibited Practices page.

10.Anti-money laundering, sanctions and verification

We operate identity verification, sanctions screening and transaction-monitoring controls proportionate to the service. Verification is a condition of receiving any reward.

We may refuse, suspend or reverse a transaction, freeze an account or terminate this contract where we have reasonable grounds to suspect financial crime, sanctions exposure or misuse of the service, and we may report the matter to the relevant authorities. Full detail is in the AML, KYC & Sanctions Policy.

11.Affiliate participation

Affiliate participation is optional and subject to acceptance. Commission is earned only on completed, non-refunded purchases attributed to your referral code within the published attribution window.

Self-referral, bidding on our brand terms, spam, incentivised sign-ups and any claim that misrepresents the service — in particular any suggestion of guaranteed income, real-money trading or regulatory authorisation — are prohibited and void commission.

Commission on a purchase that is later refunded or charged back is clawed back. We may suspend or terminate affiliate participation at any time for breach.

12.Availability, market data and changes to the service

We aim to keep the platform available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, third-party outages and market-data interruptions can affect the service.

Market data is provided by third parties and may be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate. Where a manifest data error affects an account, we may correct affected results and will tell you what was changed and why.

We may change, suspend or withdraw programmes for future purchases. Accounts already purchased keep the parameters recorded at purchase.

13.Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time from your account settings or by contacting support. Closure does not by itself entitle you to a refund of a fee already consumed.

We may suspend or terminate your access where you breach these terms, where verification fails, where we are required to do so by law, or where continued provision would expose us to legal or financial-crime risk. Where lawful and practical we will tell you why.

14.Intellectual property

The platform, its software, analytics, rule sets, documentation, branding and content belong to us or our licensors. You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use them for your own participation in the programme, and nothing more.

15.Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited — including your non-excludable rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Subject to that, our total liability arising out of or in connection with this contract is limited to the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for lost profits, lost expected rewards, loss of opportunity or any indirect or consequential loss, and we are not liable for losses caused by third-party market-data errors, broker or bank delays, or events outside our reasonable control.

16.Complaints and dispute resolution

If something goes wrong, contact complaints@nextscalefunded.com or open a support ticket. Our Complaints Procedure sets out acknowledgement and response timescales.

Because the service is not a regulated financial service, complaints are not eligible for the Financial Ombudsman Service and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme does not apply.

17.General and governing law

If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under this contract without our consent.

This contract and any dispute arising from it are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK or the EEA, you keep the benefit of any mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.
