JKV's About page says it is regulated by the FSC in Mauritius. The terms you accept at signup name the Financial Services Commission of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines instead.
Why this matters
You would be complaining to a regulator in the Caribbean, not the one named on the page that sold you the account. Neither document tells you which courts hear a dispute, or which country's law applies.
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.
These terms as per the Client Agreement are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the Financial Services Commission – Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must tell a retail client, before they trade, which legal entity they are contracting with and which law governs the agreement. JKV names one regulator on its website and a different one in its terms.
JKV is not licensed by these regulators, 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.Naming a regulator as the governing law is not a choice of law at all. A regulator supervises firms, it is not a legal system, so the clause leaves no court and no statute identified.
