RebelsFunding Legal & Compliance
Risk Warning and Simulated Trading Disclaimer
RebelsFunding provides simulated Evaluation and RCF environments. Customers do not deposit trading capital, and orders placed on Evaluation or RCF Accounts are not live customer orders. Program fees are real purchase costs paid for services; they are not deposits, investments or trading capital.
Read this Risk Warning together with the following documents:
Where applicable, the separate RCF Account Contract also applies.
1. Nature of the services
1.1
RIFM, s.r.o. operates RebelsFunding and provides simulated trading Evaluation programs, training, educational and analytical tools, access to the Client Zone and RF-Trader and related services.
1.2
All Evaluation and RCF Accounts made available to traders are fully simulated accounts that may display real market quotations. The account balance, capital, positions, profit, loss, equity and other trading results displayed on those accounts are fictitious or simulated.
1.3
No trade placed by a Customer on an Evaluation or RCF Account is a live customer order submitted to a financial market. The Customer does not send personal trading capital to RIFM for trading and does not obtain ownership of the simulated balance, capital or profit displayed on the account.
1.4
A possible RCF reward is a separate contractual benefit that may arise only under the applicable RCF Account Contract and RCF rules. It is not a withdrawal of the simulated account balance or simulated profit.
2. No brokerage, investment or deposit service
2.1
RIFM is not a bank, broker, investment firm, investment fund, payment institution, custodian, portfolio manager or provider of live brokerage accounts for Customers.
2.2
RIFM does not accept customer trading deposits, hold customer investment assets, execute live customer orders, manage customer portfolios or provide personal investment recommendations. The RebelsFunding services are not intended to constitute investment services within the meaning of Slovak Act No. 566/2001 Coll. on Securities and Investment Services.
2.3
Use of market quotations, charts, trading terminology or simulated financial instruments does not convert the service into brokerage, custody, investment advice, portfolio management or another regulated financial service for the Customer.
3. Program fees and simulated capital
3.1
A program fee is the purchase price for access to and provision of the selected Evaluation or related service. It is not a deposit, investment, savings product, stake in a fund, client asset or trading capital.
3.2
Program fees are real costs. They may be non-refundable or refundable only where mandatory law, the Terms & Conditions or a specific program benefit expressly provides otherwise.
3.3
Because the Customer does not deposit personal trading capital into an Evaluation or RCF Account, the Customer cannot incur a live-market trading loss through that simulated account. The Customer may, however, lose the program fee, fail an Evaluation, lose access to an account or benefit, or become ineligible for an RCF reward if the applicable conditions are not met.
4. Risks of live financial-market trading
Live trading is highly risky. A person who applies a strategy on a live financial market may lose part or all of the capital committed to trading. Never trade money that you cannot afford to lose.
4.1
Prices of currencies, commodities, indices, shares, cryptocurrencies and other financial instruments can move rapidly and unpredictably. Economic announcements, political events, market sentiment, interest rates, liquidity and unexpected events can produce substantial price movements.
4.2
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. Even a small market movement may have a substantial effect on a leveraged position and may lead to the loss of all capital allocated to that position or account.
4.3
Live trading involves market risk, liquidity risk, gap risk, slippage, spread widening, financing and rollover costs, counterparty risk, operational risk, technology risk, latency and the possibility that a position cannot be opened, modified or closed at the expected time or price.
4.4
Before trading live capital, a person should understand the relevant instrument, leverage, costs, execution model and personal financial circumstances and, where appropriate, obtain independent professional advice.
5. Educational information and no advice
5.1
Information on RebelsFunding websites, in the Client Zone, RF-Trader, Coach Rebel, articles, videos, support responses and other materials is provided for general educational, informational, operational or support purposes.
5.2
Such information is not personal investment, trading, financial, legal or tax advice and is not a recommendation, solicitation, investment-opportunity analysis or instruction to buy, sell or hold any financial instrument.
5.3
No information, tool, example, statistic, account result or communication constitutes a promise or guarantee of profit, income, successful Evaluation, RCF approval, reward, payout, limitation of loss or future performance.
5.4
If a Customer or website visitor applies information, a strategy or a simulated result to a live market, that person does so independently and at that person’s own risk. RIFM is not responsible for a live-market decision made by that person, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded under mandatory law.
6. Limitations of simulated results
6.1
Simulated trading cannot reproduce every feature of a live market. It may not fully reflect actual liquidity, market impact, queue position, order-book depth, counterparty behaviour, live commissions, financing, rejected orders, partial fills, execution delays or the psychological effect of trading personal capital.
6.2
Simulated results may therefore overestimate or underestimate the result that the same or a similar strategy would achieve in a live environment. A successful Evaluation, RCF result, backtest, hypothetical result or past performance is not a reliable guarantee of future live or simulated performance.
6.3
A Customer may breach a simulated account rule even though the same event would be assessed differently by a live broker, and a strategy that complies with simulated account rules may still be unsuitable or unprofitable on a live market.
6.4
Successful completion of an Evaluation only creates eligibility for a separate RCF assessment. It does not guarantee approval, activation of an RCF Account, a contract, reward or payout.
7. Prices, execution and technical risks
7.1
RF-Trader and related services may use market data, charts, price feeds, hosting, cloud, network and other technology supplied by third parties. Quotations or functions may be delayed, interrupted, unavailable, corrected or affected by technical errors.
7.2
An order, Stop Loss, Take Profit, pending order or other instruction does not guarantee execution at a specific requested price. Gaps, rapid movements, low liquidity, news, rollover, market opening or closure and technical conditions may result in slippage or execution at a different price.
7.3
The availability of the website, Client Zone, RF-Trader, an instrument, a price feed or another function is not guaranteed without interruption. Maintenance, third-party outages, cyber incidents, market closures and other events may restrict or delay access.
7.4
Technical and execution events are assessed under the applicable Program Rules, Terms & Conditions, platform records and, for RCF cooperation, the RCF Account Contract and applicable RCF rules.
8. RCF Accounts and rewards
8.1
An RCF Account is a fully simulated account, not a live funded brokerage account. The trader does not own or control live capital through the RCF Account and does not acquire a claim to the simulated balance or simulated profit.
8.2
An eligible RCF reward may arise only after the requirements of the applicable RCF Account Contract and RCF rules are met. A displayed simulated profit, a technical account status or a submitted reward request does not by itself create an unconditional right to payment.
8.3
RCF cooperation may be subject to account review, identity and residency verification, KYC, sanctions and jurisdiction checks, contract signing, tax or billing information and other approval requirements.
8.4
A breach of drawdown, risk, news, trade-duration, prohibited-practice or other applicable rules may terminate the RCF Account and may eliminate eligibility for a reward from that account, even if the displayed simulated balance remains positive.
9. Independent proprietary trading
9.1
Any proprietary trading activity carried out by RIFM, s.r.o., FRCSM, s.r.o. or an affiliated entity is separate from the Customer’s simulated Evaluation or RCF Account, uses the relevant company’s own capital and is carried out on its own account and at its own risk.
9.2
The RCF relationship must not be understood as automatic copying or live execution of every simulated trade placed by the trader. A company may decide independently whether, when and how to conduct its own proprietary trading activity.
9.3
The execution, non-execution, profit or loss of any real proprietary trade does not determine whether the trader becomes entitled to an RCF reward or the amount of that reward.
10. Jurisdictions, responsibility and related documents
10.1
The services may not be available in every country or to every person. Availability is subject to age, country, jurisdiction, sanctions, payment, identity, security, compliance, technical and internal approval requirements.
10.2
The availability of the website, a price, checkout or an account in a country does not itself mean that use of the service is lawful for every person in that country. Each Customer is responsible for complying with the laws and restrictions applicable to that Customer.
10.3
This Risk Warning is a general disclosure and does not replace the contractual documents. In the event of a conflict, the Terms & Conditions, the current Program Rules and, for approved RCF cooperation, the applicable RCF Account Contract and RCF rules govern the relevant matter.
10.4

10.5
RIFM may update this Risk Warning to reflect changes to the services, technology, contractual documents, third-party providers, jurisdictions or applicable law. The latest published wording applies from the effective date stated on this page.
