DK Trade's activities page offers trade finance, hedging and investment. The four documents it publishes all cover the same subject: selling metal. Clause 1.1 limits the whole agreement to the supply of material. Clause 1.2 puts the unpublished sales contract above the terms you can read.
Why this matters
Money you send for anything other than metal has no published terms behind it. Nothing says when you get it back, what it buys, or who decides. The document that governs your deal is the sales contract, and you only see that after you ask.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.4The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
constitute the entire agreement ("Agreement") between the seller ("Seller") and the buyer ("Buyer") with respect to the supply of the product described in the Sales Contract and Product Specification, as the case may be, and in the quantity stated in the Sales Contract attached to these Conditions ("Material")
Firms authorised by FINMA to provide financial services have to give a client written information about the service, its costs and its risks before providing it. DK Trade names no regulator and publishes no terms for the financing and hedging on its activities page.
DK Trade is not licensed by this regulator, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.A company offering trade finance and hedging normally publishes terms for them. DK Trade publishes a contract for the sale of goods and nothing else.
- Worse together with Exhibit 14Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.Money sent for a service with no published terms goes to a company the contract never names.
