2.5. The fee for Phase 1 (Strategy Test) varies according to the option selected and depends on the amount of the initial capital, the degree of the acceptable risk, the parameters that must be fulfilled so that the conditions of Phase 1 (Strategy Test) and the subsequent Verification are met, and possibly other configurations. More detailed information on individual options and fees for those options are provided on our Website here.

2.7. If the Customer lodges an unjustifiable complaint regarding the paid fee or disputes the paid fee with the Customer's bank or payment service provider (e.g. through chargeback services, dispute services, or other similar services), on the basis of which an annulment, cancellation or refund of the fee or any part thereof is requested, the Provider is entitled, at its own discretion, to stop providing to the Customer any services and refuse any future provision of any services.
