Common use of Margin Arrangements Clause in Contracts

Margin Arrangements. As a condition of entering into a Transaction, we may in our sole discretion require the deposit of funds or Collateral acceptable to us to secure your liability to us for any losses which may be incurred in respect of the Transaction (“Initial Margin”). Initial Margin is due and payable immediately as a condition to opening the relevant Transaction and we may decline to open any Transaction if you do not have sufficient available cash in your Account to satisfy the Initial Margin required for that Transaction at the time the relevant Order is placed. If there is an adverse movement in the price of a Transaction or Reference Asset or if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that there is an increase in the risk of an adverse movement in the price of a Transaction or Reference Asset, we will require additional security from you in the form of cash deposits or other acceptable Collateral to supplement Initial Margin (“Variation Margin”). 7.2 Changes in Margin requirements. Margin requirements may be set and varied without prior notice from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion in order to cover any realised or unrealised losses arising from or in connection with Transactions, including subsequent variation of any Margin rates set at the time Transactions are opened. 17.3 Form of Margin. Margin must be provided by or on behalf of you in cash or other Collateral acceptable to us as determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion. You are obliged to maintain in your Account, at all times, sufficient funds to meet all Margin requirements. In addition, we will be entitled to treat any assets deposited with us by you from time to time (other than assets deposited for safe custody only) as Collateral against your Margin requirements. In all cases we will be entitled in our sole and absolute discretion to determine the value of any Collateral deposited with us. We are entitled to require payment of Margin of you (whether resident in the UK or in another jurisdiction) by telegraphic transfer or any other method of immediate/electronic funds transfer acceptable to us. Only funds received net of any bank charges, which relate to the transfer, will be credited as paid.
