11.2 All amounts stated in these terms and conditions or on our website are stated inclusive of VAT. According to §19 of the German VAT law, we are exempt from charging VAT. Therefore, inclusive of VAT means that 0% VAT is included.

You may inform us by means of any clear statement setting out the decision. In the case of cancellation, you may inform us using the cancellation button in the member’s section on our website that is made available to you, or by emailing us. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

12.5 If you withdraw an offer to contract, or cancel a contract, on the basis described in this Section 12, you will receive a full refund of any amount you paid to us in respect of the offer or contract, except as specified in this Section 12.

13.3 We would like to draw your attention to the following investment warnings:

(a) trading the financial markets is not suitable for all investors and offers large potential rewards, but also large potential risk;

(h) the financial instruments discussed on our website are high-risk products that can fluctuate significantly in value, and any investments into them present a risk of capital loss and are hence intended for experienced investors with specific knowledge in the financial markets;

(i) where a security is denominated in a currency other than the local currency of the investor, changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value of the security; and
