Section 7. RISK DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT (RDD)

READ CAREFULLY. ACCEPTANCE IS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO USE.

7.1 What the User Is NOT Exposed To

Because all market-deployed capital is the Company's own, all execution decisions rest with the Company through the RMS, and the User has no broker access, no order-routing authority, and no claim over positions or proceeds, the User is not exposed to:

  • Market risk on virtual capital;
  • Margin calls, settlement obligations, or counterparty default;
  • Circuit-filter loss, gap-down loss, or expiry-day blow-up on real positions in the User's name;
  • Brokerage liability, STT/GST liability on executed trades (these are Company expenses), or clearing/settlement liability;
  • Loss arising from the Company's live-market activity (which is on the Company's own capital).

The User's only economic outlay is the Challenge Fee, which is non-refundable per Section 2.4.

7.2 Categorical Risks the User Acknowledges

(a) Evaluation Risk. Payment of the Challenge Fee does not entitle the User to a Pro Account. The Challenge Fee is non-refundable.

(b) Pro Account Termination Risk. Demo Pro Accounts may be terminated for breach, suspicion of breach, business reasons, or no reason, without notice and without compensation. Termination causes loss of Platform access and forfeiture of pending discretionary Stipend.

(c) RMS Discretion Risk. Trade Instructions may be modified, queued, partially accepted, delayed, or rejected by the RMS, with or without forwarding to the Company's broker. The Trader has no right to demand execution. Non-execution or non-forwarding is not a breach by the Company.

(d) Stipend Discretion Risk. Stipend amount, eligibility, schedule, and continuity are at FutureFunding's sole discretion. The Stipend programme may be modified, suspended, or discontinued.

(e) Drawdown Risk. The Pro Account performance metric tracks live like market data. Adverse market moves (gaps, circuit hits, volatility events, policy shocks) can cause rapid Drawdown breach which terminates Pro Account access. This results in loss of access, not financial loss to the Trader.

(f) Technology & Connectivity Risk. The Platform may experience downtime, latency, data-feed faults, or cyber incidents. The User assumes the risk that such conditions may affect performance display, instruction entry, or RMS routing decisions.

(g) Regulatory Risk. The regulatory framework around evaluation and simulated-trading platforms in India is evolving. Future SEBI/RBI/MoF/MoCA/MeitY action may require modification or discontinuance of the Platform without compensation to Users.

(h) Taxation Risk — Trader's Sole Responsibility. Pro Traders are independent contractors. All taxes (direct and indirect) on Stipends and related payments are the sole responsibility of the Pro Trader. FutureFunding may deduct TDS and/or provide statements as applicable under Indian law; beyond such statutorily-required deductions and statements, the Company does not file any return, prepare any computation, or represent the Trader before tax authorities. Tax characterisation of Stipends is subject to interpretation by tax authorities and the Pro Trader bears all consequences (including reassessment, interest, and penalty) of any such interpretation. Pro Traders should consult their own tax advisors before accepting any Stipend.

(i) Conduct & Reputation Risk. Suspected manipulation, identity-fraud, or rule-circumvention may be reported to law enforcement, payment partners, and FIU-IND.

(j) Cyber & Identity Risk. Despite reasonable safeguards, online platforms are exposed to phishing, credential theft, and SIM-swap attacks. Users must safeguard credentials and 2FA.

(k) Behavioural Risk. Repeated unsuccessful evaluation attempts may result in cumulative Challenge Fee outlay. Users should approach the Platform as a skill-development service and not as a path to assured income.
