1. Contracting Party

These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") apply to the relationship between adblue financial systems GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "adblue" or "we") with its registered office at Josef-Orlopp-Str. 42, 10365 Berlin, Germany and registration in the District Court of Berlin Charlottenburg, registration number: HRB 80729, legally represented by the managing director: Göksen Ince as operator of the online portal https://www.trademaster.com and its contractual partners and potential contractual partners (hereinafter referred to as "Customer" or "you").

2. Applicability/General

2.1 The following General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to the business relationships between adblue financial systems GmbH and its contractual partners. The GTC apply to all services, online courses and offers of adblue (hereinafter referred to as "service offer"), unless a different contractual provision has been made.

2.2 Any general terms and conditions of the customer shall only apply if and to the extent that adblue expressly acknowledges them in writing. In particular, adblue's silence about such deviating terms and conditions shall not be considered as recognition or approval, nor as future contracts.

2.3 Insofar as individual agreements have been made with the customer in individual cases, these shall take precedence over these GTC. The content of such agreements is regulated by a written contract or the written confirmation of adblue.

3. Services offered

3.1 adblue offers fee-based memberships that include digital content, e.g. e-learning content, market analyses, information offers or media downloads, and download options for automated trading using automatic trading systems (also known as Expert Advisors or Trading Robots). Based on this information, the Client is able to make a selection of suitable automated trading systems and download them from the Website. In addition, adblue arranges other offers provided by third-party providers.

3.2 The services offered on the adblue website are expressly not aimed at persons in countries that prohibit the provision or access of the content posted therein, in particular not at persons within the meaning of Regulation S of the US Securities Act 1933 of the USA as well as Internet users in Canada and Japan. Persons who are subject to such restrictions may not enter into a contractual relationship with adblue. If in doubt, contact adblue.

3.3 We reserve the right to conclude contracts exclusively with customers who have reached the age of 18. No contracts are concluded with persons acting on behalf of third parties, such as asset managers or so-called "managed accounts".

3.4 The e-learning content contained in the range of services and the further advisory support is initially designed for 12 months. The customer is free to use the offered e-learning content at will and with unlimited frequency.

3.5 The offered programs and strategies are valid exclusively for live and demo accounts of the MetaTrader 4 trading platform.

3.6 The content of adblue's services is based exclusively on sources that adblue considers to be credible and has been compiled with due care. adblue expressly assumes no liability for the success of the investment or investment. The customer is obliged to cooperate within the framework of the contractual relationship. He will provide the necessary cooperation actions without delay upon first request from us.

3.7 Expert advisors (or algorithms or AI algorithms) provided by TradeMaster are optional services. They are neither required nor encouraged to be used for successfully learning how to trade currencies. This optional service is offered to TradeMaster students at a discounted price by one of our business partners, a fintech company developing trading algorithms among other products and services. By accepting our partners' (algorithm providers, copytrade solution providers, signal providers) discounted service offers, you permit us a limited access to verify that the transaction for said service is complete, so that we can confirm TradeMaster's affiliate obligations with the partner are fulfilled.

4. Conclusion of the contract in electronic commerce

4.1 Depending on the selected payment option, the contract is concluded as follows:

  • a) Free services: The contract is concluded when the customer registers for a free service offer (offer), by sending the order form to adblue and adblue confirms the conclusion of the contract to the customer (acceptance).
  • b) Fee-based services: The contract is concluded when the customer registers for a service offered by adblue (offer). The service offer is submitted by the customer clicking on the "Order for a fee" button after entering the mandatory information requested there. As soon as we have received the offer, we will check the entry and confirm the conclusion of the contract with a confirmation e-mail (acceptance).

4.2 Regardless of our acceptance, we will confirm receipt of the offer immediately by e-mail. Please note that the confirmation of receipt is not yet our acceptance.

4.3 Our services are also distributed by authorized partners and third-party providers in their own name (e.g. Copecart, etc). When booking/concluding a contract with a third-party provider/sales partner, only its terms and conditions apply. adblue is not responsible for the actions of distributors/third-party providers.

4.4 If services are advertised by us, but a contract is concluded via a third-party provider/sales partner, the third-party provider/sales partner is solely responsible for the respective offer.

5. Test phase or guest access

If the service offer includes a test phase or adblue provides guest access, the customer is not obliged to pay a fee when he first subscribes to this service offer. The test phase begins with receipt of the access data for the service offer. During the test phase, the customer can test the range of services extensively. If the customer does not cancel during the test phase, the contractual relationship between the customer and adblue automatically becomes a fee-based membership (see "II GTC, 3rd Start, Term and End of Contracts").

6. Obligations

6.1 By purchasing our range of services, the customer undertakes, on the one hand, to provide truthful and complete necessary data. Accordingly, adblue must also be informed of changes to personal data. This is done by e-mail or by post. On the other hand, the customer undertakes to pay the agreed price.

6.2 The customer is obliged to cooperate within the framework of the contractual relationship. He will provide the necessary cooperation actions without delay upon first request from us.

6.3 adblue undertakes to deliver the agreed scope of services, which can be found in the service description on our website. However, we reserve the right to change the information offered at our own discretion – to expand, supplement or otherwise. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the technical requirements for proper use are met.

Consequences of revocation

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments we have received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this refund, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless otherwise expressly agreed with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.

Although the evaluations and statements contained in adblue's analyses and market assessments have been prepared with reasonable care, we assume no responsibility or liability for the correctness, error, accuracy, completeness and appropriateness of the facts presented, omissions or false information. The background information, market assessments and securities analyses published by adblue do not constitute an offer to buy or sell the securities in question, nor a solicitation to buy or sell securities in general.

11.3 adblue is not responsible for any consequences, in particular for losses, which follow or could result from the views and conclusions contained in the publications as a result of the use or omission of use. adblue does not guarantee that the expected profit or the price targets mentioned will be achieved.

In particular, adblue points out the particularly high risks associated with transactions with warrants, derivatives and derivative financial instruments. Due to political, economic or other changes, there can be considerable price losses, in the worst case even a total loss.
