Contract reading

What TASS legally published, but does not want you to read

Every clause below is published by TASS itself, on its own website, today. The finding is not that the text exists. It is the distance between what a client is shown and what a client agreed to. Read from its own documents on .

Contracting entity: TASS LLC

sole discretionwithdrawalsmarketing claimprofit voidingdeemed acceptanceforum waiverhidden feekyc freezeconclusive evidencecountry restriction

TASS LLC tells you on its homepage that client funds are segregated and insured. Its 26 page client agreement promises neither. The contract also lets TASS cap your profit on a position and reprice a fast market result at 5%. You get three business days to complain, and TASS's own log decides the outcome.

The numbers in this contractFigures taken from this broker's own clauses, so the labels differ from broker to broker. The four in the panel above are the same on every report.

4 of these 4 figures come from a clause we rate critical, which means it can take your money or your profit rather than only delay it.

What the documents say

25 clauses worth knowing about, worst first, each quoted from TASS's own files

01

Every language version of the TASS FX homepage tells you client funds are segregated and insured. The client agreement promises neither. It says your deposit goes into TASS's own account and the accounts of its payment agents.

Why this matters

If TASS stops paying out, you are an unsecured creditor of a Saint Vincent company. TASS names no segregation clause, no insurer and no compensation scheme anywhere in the documents it publishes.

Exhibit 1Critical

Company’s Account is a Company’s current account in a financial institution, an account (wallet) in electronic payment system as well as other accounts including accounts of Paying Agents.
Clause 1.15 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.8
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), ESMA (EU)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC, and firms under ESMA rules, must hold retail client money apart from the firm's own money and must belong to an investor compensation scheme. This contract puts client money into the company's own accounts and names no scheme.

TASS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

02

TASS can restrict a withdrawal it finds doubtful in any way it chooses. The contract says the test is its own subjective evaluation. The list of warning signs that triggers it is not exhaustive.

Why this matters

Nothing here requires a reason you can check, a deadline, or an appeal. Refusing you service is itself enough to trigger the same power over your money.

Exhibit 2CriticalHarder than usual

to restrict the withdrawal of funds from the Client’s Account in any way (at the Company's discretion);
Clause App.2 cl.1.6.2 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.20
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must pay a retail withdrawal promptly, and must give the client a reason and a complaints route when they refuse. This contract requires neither.

TASS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 9A hold on one account can reach money on accounts TASS decides are connected to yours.
03

A price that moves 5% or more in one trading day lets TASS fix your result at 5%. It picks the starting point that 5% is measured from. TASS removes your gain above that line.

Why this matters

The days you most want to be right are the days this clause applies. It sits on the last page of the contract, inside the risk disclosure. That is where a reader looks for warnings, not for a rule about their profit.

Exhibit 3CriticalRarely seen5%

In case of high volatility, low liquidity and other significant market conditions changes that cause the price change of 5% and more during the period not longer than a Trading day time-span, the Company is entitled to fix the financial result of the Client’s Operations at a price that doesn’t differ by more than 5% from the starting point of the financial instruments price change established by the Company.
Clause App.3 cl.2 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.26
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingRepricing a client's result to a set percentage of a real market move is a pricing power, not a risk warning. Contracts that cancel trades usually point at a mispriced quote, not at the size of a genuine move.

04

Leave the account untouched for 90 calendar days and TASS calls it inactive and may charge a servicing commission. Leave it three years and the contract treats you as waiving your right to all the money in it.

In plain words

Dormancy means an account left unused.

Why this matters

Not trading is enough for your balance to stop being yours. TASS must try to reach you first, but it decides when it has tried enough.

Exhibit 4CriticalRarely seen90 days

in case the Client does not run any Transactions on their Client Account during at least three years in a row, regardless of whether the Client has any funds on their Client Account, while the Company has taken all necessary and reasonable actions in order to contact the Client and/or the Client's lawful heirs and/or representatives in law through all means of communication possible, but failed; in this case, no action taken by the Client during this time frame shall mean that the Client withdraws from the Agreement and waives their right for all property (funds) they have within the terms stipulated in this Agreement;
Clause App.2 cl.1.8.2 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.21
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must keep treating an idle balance as the client's money, keep a record of it, and return it when the client asks. This contract reads three years of silence as the client leaving the agreement and giving up the funds.

TASS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Our readingDormancy fees are common. A clause that reads continued silence as the client giving up their right to all property on the account is not. It turns your own inaction into a waiver of your claim on the balance.

05

You get three business days to complain about a trade, counted from the day the problem happened. The contract says missing that window is itself a reason to reject your complaint. A business day here runs from 06:00 to 15:00 GMT.

Why this matters

A fill you notice a week later is already out of time. TASS then has 60 calendar days to answer a complaint you did file in time. Only after that is the step before court complete.

Exhibit 5CriticalHarder than usual3 working days

a claim (complaint) shall be filed by the Client no later than the 3rd (third) Business Day from the incident which serves as grounds for the claim (complaint). The Client agrees that the Expiration of the period for making a claim (complaint) shall constitute grounds for its rejection;

Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must accept a retail complaint for years after the event, not days, and must give the client access to an independent complaints scheme. This contract allows three business days.

The account types page tells you a margin call comes at 60% and a stop out at 50%. The contract's MetaTrader 5 appendix lets TASS close your positions once your margin level is at or below 120%. The trading rules let it move those levels whenever it likes.

Why this matters

Positions can be closed while your account still looks safe by the numbers on the website. The forced close happens at TASS's own price, with no warning to you first.

Exhibit 6Critical120%

When the Margin Level becomes equal to or less than 120% (one hundred twenty per cent) the Client shall increase this rate by transferring additional funds to his Trading Account or reducing the volume of Open Positions, otherwise the Company will be entitled to close Positions on his Account.
Quoted in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.19
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

TASS can cap, reprice and reclaim money you have already made

The trading rules let TASS set the maximum profit on each position, and it publishes no figure. The risk disclosure on the last page lets it fix your result at 5% of a fast market move. It keeps anything above $500 if its own system failure went your way, and it can settle your shortfall out of another person's account.

Profit at risk3 clauses flagged

When TASS's system fails and you end up with a profit, it keeps everything above $500 per account. The same clause makes TASS pay your loss in full if the failure goes the other way.

Why this matters

A mispriced fill that lands in your favour is worth $500 to you, whatever the screen said. If the same failure costs you money, TASS owes you the loss in full, which is the fair half of this clause.

Exhibit 7CriticalRarely seen$500

In case of a system failure resulting in the Client’s execution of Trading Operations according to non-market prices or getting incorrect financial result otherwise the Company bears liability to the Client in the amount of a loss sustained by him as a result of this failure. The Company shall also preserve the profit received as a result of a failure for the Client but in the amount not more than 500 (five hundred) US dollars for 1 (one) Trading Account.
Clause App.1 cl.5.7 in Agreement for International Financial Services, pp.16-17
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

What it costsA $10,000 profit from such a failure leaves you $500. TASS removes the other $9,500.

Our readingBrokers routinely cancel trades made on a bad price. Putting a cash ceiling on the client's side of the same error, while accepting the client's loss in full, is an unusual way to write it.

TASS can decide on its own, at any time, the most you may make on any one position. It can also set how long you are allowed to stay in a trade. Neither limit appears anywhere TASS publishes.

Why this matters

A winning trade can be capped at a figure you were never shown. You cannot plan around a limit TASS is free to change while your position is open.

Exhibit 8CriticalRarely seen

The Company has the right from time to time at its own discretion and unilaterally set and change the conditions determining Trading Operation execution including among other things the volume of Trading Operations, maximum profit for each Position, time period during which any Open Position can stay open
Clause App.1 cl.3.10 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.14
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingA ceiling on profit per position is not something a retail trading contract usually contains. It lets the firm decide in advance how much of a correct call it is willing to pay for.

TASS can reach accounts that are not yours. It can bring your negative balance to zero out of other people's accounts, if its own software decides those accounts are really yours. It can also take your profit to cover a loss on a related person's account.

Why this matters

A family member trading from the same connection can have their balance used for your shortfall. TASS decides whether two accounts are linked, using its own tools, and the contract gives you no test to argue against.

Exhibit 9CriticalRarely seen

Should the Client's Trading Account amount become negative due to the mandatory position closing, the Company is entitled to transfer the compensation to this Trading Account in the amount needed for the Trading Account to come to zero. The Company may bring the Trading Account to zero at the expense of funds from other Trading Accounts of the Client as well as Trading Accounts of other persons on the condition that it is determined with the help of the Company’s technical software and hardware that these Trading Accounts actually belong to the Client.
Clause App.1 cl.5.5 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.16
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingJoint liability across separate accounts is a commercial lending device. In a retail trading contract it means another person's loss can be met from your balance, on the firm's own finding that the accounts are connected.

Three business days to complain, and TASS holds the only record

TASS gives you three business days to complain about a trade, counted from the day it happened, and says a late complaint can be rejected for that reason alone. Its server log beats anything your own terminal recorded, and it reserves the right not to keep that log. The English contract offers the Financial Commission; the Russian contract offers only the courts.

Complaint deadlines2 clauses flagged

The log on TASS's server has absolute priority over anything your own terminal recorded. The same clause lets TASS choose not to record your access at all.

Why this matters

In a dispute you must prove your case with evidence TASS holds. TASS also decides whether that evidence exists.

Exhibit 10CriticalRarely seen

The information from the Log File of the Company’s Server shall have absolute priority over other arguments when considering a disputable situation including in relation to the information from the Log File of the Client's Trading Terminal and (or) the Personal Account Management Portal. The company reserves the right not to fix the fact of access of the Agreement Party to the Trading Terminal or the Personal Account Management Portal in the Log File.
Clause 1.34 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.10
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingTreating the firm's server log as the deciding record is common. Reserving the right not to write that log at all, while it stays the record that beats everything else, is not.

The English agreement sends an unresolved dispute to the Financial Commission. The Russian agreement, in the very same clause, sends you to court instead. Russian is the language TASS contracts in for its Russian speaking clients.

Why this matters

If you signed the Russian text, the independent route named in the English text is not in your contract. You are left with the courts, under the law of the country where TASS is registered.

Exhibit 11CriticalRarely seen

All disputes and disagreements between the Company and the Client regarding the execution of this Agreement shall be settled through negotiations. If no agreement is reached, such disputes and disagreements shall be settled by the Financial Commission (www.financialcommission.org) or in court subject to the extra-judicial dispute settlement procedure.
Clause 5.1 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.5
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must give every retail client access to an independent complaints scheme, whatever language that client reads. Here the English text names one and the Russian text does not.

TASS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Our readingTwo language versions of one contract offering different dispute routes is not a translation detail. It gives two clients of the same firm different rights depending on which file they opened.

The homepage promises insured segregated funds the contract never mentions

Every language version of the TASS FX homepage says client funds are segregated and insured. The 26 page client agreement uses neither word, and sends your deposit to TASS's own accounts and those of its payment agents. The account page also puts the margin call at 60% while the contract lets TASS close positions at 120%.

Promise versus contract1 clause flagged

The funding page in every language takes deposits in roubles and on МИР cards, Russia's own card scheme. The footer of that same page says TASS does not register clients from the Russian Federation. Its documents do not agree on which countries are excluded.

Why this matters

Paying in through a route built for one country, while the terms exclude that country, puts your account one review away from closure. TASS can refuse you service and then restrict your withdrawal in any way.

Quoted in Deposit/withdraw of funds
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

A card round trip costs 10%, and the rest of the tariff is unpublished

A card deposit at TASS costs 6% and a card withdrawal costs 4%. The contract adds 2% if you withdraw without having traded, which the funding page does not mention. The account servicing tariff, the withdrawal commission and the conversion rate come from a schedule the contract says is on the website, which has no such page.

Cost disclosure3 clauses flagged

Deposit, change your mind, and take the money out without placing a trade, and TASS can charge 2% of the amount you withdraw. The clause sits on page 21 of 26, in the withdrawal rules appendix.

Why this matters

The funding page that lists every other fee does not mention this one. It lands on top of the 4% card charge, so changing your mind costs 6% of your own money.

Exhibit 14Warning2%

If the Client submits a Request for Withdrawal of Funds defined in Section 4 hereof, and in case of failure to execute Trading Operations before the relevant Request is submitted, the Company has the right to charge the Client an additional fee for executed Non-Trading Operations in the amount of 2% of the total sum of the funds withdrawn.

What it costsWithdraw $1,000 without having traded and TASS can take $20, before the charge for the route you use.

A card deposit at TASS costs 6% before you trade. Taking the money out by card costs another 4%. Wire and Binance deposits are free, so the card route is where the cost sits.

Why this matters

Put $1,000 in by card and $940 reaches your account. You start every position already 6% down, and the exit costs 4% more.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 14A card round trip with no trade in between carries the 6% in, the 4% out and the 2% penalty together.

Several charges in the contract point at a tariff schedule on the TASS website. The website has no such page. The withdrawal commission, the account servicing fee and the conversion rate are all set this way.

Why this matters

You agree to fees whose amounts you cannot see until after you register. The conversion rate on every card deposit sits inside the portal, and TASS can change it whenever it likes.

Exhibit 16Warning

TASS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Every withdrawal is a review TASS can restrict in any way

TASS gives itself 10 business days to process a withdrawal, against the 1 to 5 days its funding page advertises. A withdrawal it finds doubtful can be restricted in any way at its own discretion, on a test the contract calls its subjective evaluation. Refusing you service is by itself enough to trigger that power.

Exit conditions1 clause flagged

The public funding page gives every withdrawal route a 1 to 5 day timetable. The contract gives TASS 10 business days to process the request, in both the English and the Russian text.

Why this matters

Ten business days with a weekend in the middle is two calendar weeks before TASS has broken any promise it made you. The page you read before depositing is not the document that binds it.

Bonus profit is withdrawable until TASS sets a volume rule

TASS advertises $40 to $200 in bonus funds and says profit made with them can be withdrawn. The contract lets it impose a minimum trading volume before you withdraw that profit, with no figure published anywhere. It can also cancel a bonus it has already credited.

Bonus conditions1 clause flagged

The promotions page tells you profit made with bonus funds can be withdrawn. The contract lets TASS set a minimum trading volume before you withdraw that profit, and names no figure. A week without trading can cancel the bonus outright.

Why this matters

The condition that decides whether you can take bonus profit out is not published. Withdrawing enough to drop your real balance below the deposit threshold also cancels the bonus.

Exhibit 19WarningHarder than usual

The Company reserves the right to impose minimum volume requirements on Clients in respect of the withdrawal of any profits derived as a result of their use of bonus programmes or loyalty schemes, as well as on short-term positions held for less than 5 minutes.

TASS can rewrite the terms, cap your balance and end the account

TASS can amend the agreement alone, effective on a date it picks, binding clients who signed earlier, and it makes checking the website weekly your job. The contract caps your balance at $50,000 under Kazakh currency law. It also lets TASS end your place in the agreement without giving a reason.

Terms and limits3 clauses flagged

TASS can amend the agreement and its appendices on its own, effective on whatever date it names. The change binds clients who signed earlier. The contract puts the duty on you to visit the website once a week to find out.

Why this matters

No notice has to reach you. An amendment can take effect while you are away. A missed email is treated as your spam filter's problem, not TASS's.

Exhibit 21WarningHarder than usual

The Company reserves the right to introduce amendments and addenda unilaterally to this Contract and any appendices thereto. All amendments and addenda shall become effective as of the date specified by the Company.
Clause 6.2 in Agreement for International Financial Services, p.6
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

TASS can end your place in the agreement at its own discretion and without giving a reason. Refusing you service is also a listed ground for force closing your open positions and deleting your orders.

Why this matters

A decision made without a reason cannot be argued against. Your open trades go with it, at prices set when TASS closes them, not when you would have.

The document checks arrive when you ask for your money

TASS can hold a withdrawal until you prove you own the receiving bank account, and a flagged withdrawal stays blocked until its investigation ends, with no deadline anywhere in the contract. The privacy policy treats a visit to the website as consent to store, use and disclose your data, kept five years after you leave.

Checks and data2 clauses flagged

TASS can hold your withdrawal until you send documents proving you own the receiving bank account. A withdrawal it flags as suspicious stays blocked until its own investigation ends. No clause puts a deadline on that investigation.

Why this matters

The checks arrive when you ask for your money, not when you pay it in. TASS can ask for card scans, billing documents and proof of where your funds came from at that point.

TASS is the other side of your trade and its quotes are final

Every trade is an over the counter deal with TASS itself, which is normal for this kind of broker. What follows is not: its own quotes are the only valid ones, and it refuses complaints that they differ from other sources. Where the website and the trading server disagree, the contract says the server wins, in more than a dozen clauses.

Who sets the price1 clause flagged

Every trade you make is a trade with TASS itself, not on an exchange. That part is normal for this kind of broker. What is not: its own quotes are the only valid ones, and complaints that they differ from other sources are refused.

In plain words

On a principal basis, as your counterparty, means the broker takes the other side of your trade itself. Your loss is then the firm’s gain, so it has an interest in how your trade ends.

Why this matters

The firm that gains when you lose also sets the price, keeps the record, and decides whether a quote was correct. Where the website and the trading server disagree, the contract says the server wins.

The documents this reading is based on

9 files, all published by TASS. Each shows when we read it and a fingerprint of its wording.

WIKILIX keeps the copy of each file it read, and does not republish it: what is published is the fingerprint of its wording. Download the file yourself and hash its text, lowercased with runs of whitespace collapsed, and a matching fingerprint means the wording quoted above is still the wording TASS publishes.

Who the contract is with

TASS LLC

One company signs this contract: TASS LLC, registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under number 445 LLC 2020. Its own definitions clause spells the counterparty "TASS Limited liability". The governing law is the law of the place where TASS is registered, and no second entity appears anywhere in the agreement. The footer claims a Mwali International Services Authority licence from the Comoros, which the contract never mentions. Deposits route to a bank account in Astana, Kazakhstan, the balance cap cites Kazakh currency law, the contact number is a Kazakh mobile, and the company page also lists an address in Cyprus. None of that changes the counterparty, which is the Saint Vincent company.

Quotations are copied verbatim from the documents named above, with the clause number and the page each one came from. Where a clause is quoted in another language, the original is shown first and the English is a translation.

The plain-language parts, what a clause means for a client, how ordinary it is, and how it reads against a regulated standard, are WIKILIX's analysis and are labelled as such on every card. This is a reading of public documents, not legal advice and not an allegation of wrongdoing.

In fairness, and what we could not check

A reader who knows the edges of the work can trust the middle of it

The deposit and withdrawal fee table gives a number for every route, and it reads the same in English, Russian and Chinese. Clause 5.5 brings a negative account back to zero, so a forced close does not leave you owing TASS money. Clause 5.7 makes TASS pay your full loss when its own system fails. Clause 4.15 refunds your costs when an investigation finds TASS at fault. Clause 5.9 leaves your ordinary trading results alone when it cancels bonus profit. The whole contract, with the trading rules, the withdrawal rules and a risk disclosure, is one free file with no login.

TASS publishes three legal documents: the client agreement, the anti money laundering policy and the privacy policy. This review covers the English agreement in full, all 26 pages. The Russian version of that agreement does not come out of its file readable. The two Russian quotations come instead from pages 5 and 7 of that file as shown on TASS's own site. The rest of the Russian file is not covered word by word. The anti money laundering policy is published only in English. No earlier version of any of these documents is available for comparison. Several numbers the contract relies on, the conversion rate, the withdrawal limits and the account servicing tariffs, sit inside the client portal. The portal opens only after you register, so the review does not cover them.

How to check any of this yourself

Every quote above links to the TASS file it came from. This is what to do with it.

Open the three stepsFind the words in the source, work out the fingerprint, and read what a difference does and does not prove.

Open the source and search for the words

Every quote has a link under it. Open the file, or the web page, and search it for the words we quote. The clause number next to the quote tells you where to look.

If the words are not there any more, the source may have changed after we read it. That is worth knowing too. We keep the date we read it, and a code worked out from its wording, so the quote stays checkable.

What a fingerprint is

A fingerprint is a code worked out from what a source says. Change one word and the code changes completely. We keep two codes for every file we read, and the panel on each source shows both.

The first is the code of the exact file we downloaded. The second is the code of its wording alone, with capital letters lowered and runs of spaces collapsed. When the same words are saved as a new file, the first code changes and the second one stays the same.

Only the first code can be worked out on your own computer. Save the file, then run one of these, putting the name of the file you saved where the example is. The panel on each source prints the command with that source's real file name already in it.

macOS or Linux:
  shasum -a 256 the-file-you-saved.pdf

Windows:
  certutil -hashfile the-file-you-saved.pdf SHA256

The two codes are different from each other, and they are not meant to match. Comparing one against the other proves nothing.

What a difference means, and what it does not

A different file code on its own proves nothing. A PDF saved again with a new date inside it is a new file saying exactly the same thing.

A different wording code means the words themselves changed. That is the one that matters, and it is why we keep it.

Even then, a change is not proof of bad faith. Companies update their documents. What this report says is what the document said on the day we read it, and every quote carries that date.

A source that is a web page and not a file has no file to save, so only the code of its wording is shown.

How this report is made

Every clause quoted above comes from a document TASS publishes on its own website, downloaded and hashed on the date shown, with the clause number and page recorded so any reader can check it. We do not allege anything the documents do not say, and we do not judge TASS on anything other than its own published terms and its own public marketing. Where a clause has a qualifier that softens it, the report says so. Last read Oct 11, 2026.

If you represent TASS and a clause has changed, been withdrawn, or is being read out of context, tell us and we will re-read the documents and update this page. Corrections from the broker are welcome and are published with the reading they change. Contact us.

This is a reading of a contract, not legal advice and not a ruling on TASS. Whether its licence is real and current is a separate check on the broker profile.
