Thank you for choosing a Samuel & Co Trading Product or Service.  We use the internet to start our relationship with you, and this means that we have to do things at a distance, so we think it handy that we set out what we expect from each other through this Agreement.

In this Agreement we set out what you can expect from us from your purchase – and what we ask of you, too.

We know that your time is precious, so these terms contain:

  • a key Information section, to explain some key provisions of these terms; and
  • a contents page to help you find the relevant section when you need it

We have organised this into sections:

  • Section A of these terms set out the main terms that govern our relationship with you. It answers questions you might have such as “How do I contact you? What do I have to pay? How do I end the contract?”
  • Section B sets out the terms that apply to our suite of Expert Advisors.
  • Section C sets out our terms that apply to our training materials and programmes.
  • Section D sets out our terms that apply to our suite of indicators.
  • Section E sets out our terms that apply to our Junior Trader Programme (JTP).
