The agreement between you and Vertex Funded LLC. Read it — we wrote it in plain English, not lawyer-speak, for a reason.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts in your country of residence. You must not be a resident or citizen of any restricted jurisdiction, which currently includes: United States of America, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, and the Crimea region of Ukraine.
By opening an account, you confirm that trading derivatives is legal in your country, that you understand the risks involved, and that any funds used to pay our fees are your own legally obtained funds.
Vertex Funded LLC ("we", "us", "the firm") provides a proprietary trading evaluation service. We do not act as a broker. We do not accept trading capital deposits from you. We do not hold custody of your funds. We are not a regulated financial services provider.
Our evaluation program is an educational and skill-assessment service. Successful candidates are invited to trade our capital under contract. The one-time evaluation fee you pay is a service fee for the evaluation and the potential access to our capital.
All trading during evaluation phases occurs on demo accounts mirrored to market conditions. Trading on "funded" accounts occurs on live-linked accounts with our regulated liquidity partner. You never deposit your own trading capital.
The evaluation fee is a one-time, non-refundable payment for access to an evaluation account. Fee amounts are stated on the Challenges page and apply at time of purchase. You may pay by card, USDT (TRC20/ERC20), Bitcoin, SEPA/SWIFT bank transfer, or supported local methods.
If you pass the full evaluation (all phases) without breaching rules, your original fee will be refunded to you with your first profit payout.
If you breach evaluation rules, your fee is not refunded. You may purchase a new evaluation at any time with any active discount.
Initiating a chargeback without first contacting our support team constitutes a breach of these terms and will result in termination of all accounts without recourse.
Complete trading rules, profit targets, drawdown limits, and prohibited strategies are published on the Challenges page and are incorporated into this agreement by reference. Rules include but are not limited to:
We reserve the right to void trades that exploit technical issues (quote errors, feed mismatches, one-sided liquidity gaps) and to reverse profits derived from such exploits.
Your share of profits on funded accounts is 80% as standard, 90% in the Hot Seat program, and 60% on Instant Funded accounts (rising to 80% after 5 consecutive profitable payout cycles).
Payouts are processed every Tuesday. Requests may be submitted any day and are included in the following Tuesday cycle. Minimum payout is $50.
We aim to deliver all payouts within 24 hours of the Tuesday 09:00 UTC processing window. If we miss this window for reasons within our control, you automatically receive $500 added to your next payout. This does not apply if the delay is caused by incorrect payment details supplied by you, KYC not being completed, or force majeure (as defined in section 8).
Cumulative payouts above $1,000 require completed KYC verification before release. Required documents: government-issued photo ID, proof of address (<3 months old), and a selfie holding your ID.
All trademarks, software, content, and branding on this website and in our apps are the exclusive property of Vertex Funded LLC. You receive a limited, non-transferable license to use our platform for the purpose of participating in the evaluation and funded trading programs. Any trading strategies, algorithms, or EAs you upload remain your property — we claim no rights to them.
In addition to the trading rules in section 4, the following are grounds for immediate account termination without refund:
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of this agreement is capped at the fees you have paid us in the preceding 12 months.
We are not liable for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control ("force majeure"), including but not limited to: internet outages, broker/liquidity-provider failures, market disruption, regulatory actions, hacking, war, or acts of God.
We make no guarantees about trading profits. Past performance of any trader, including yourself, does not guarantee future results.
We comply with anti-money-laundering regulations applicable to our jurisdiction. We may request additional information at any time if a transaction or pattern appears suspicious. We may suspend an account pending compliance review. We cooperate with legitimate requests from law enforcement.
You agree not to use our service for money laundering, terrorism financing, tax evasion, sanctions evasion, or any other illegal purpose.
You may close your account at any time by emailing support. Account closure does not entitle you to refunds of already-paid fees. Any pending legitimate payouts will be processed before account closure.
We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these terms, engage in prohibited behavior, or if we are required to do so by law. In cases of clear rule-breaking, fees are forfeit and pending profits may be voided.
We may update these terms. Material changes will be emailed to registered users at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the service after that period constitutes acceptance. Historical terms versions are archived and available on request.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Disputes shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. Unresolved disputes shall be submitted to the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) under its rules in force at the time of the dispute. The seat of arbitration shall be Dubai, conducted in English.
Nothing in this clause restricts your right to bring consumer-protection claims under the laws of your country of residence, where such rights are not waivable under local law.
