4. Description of Services
Tributary Hedge provides trading signals and facilitates copy trading through third-party services.
- Users (“Followers”) may subscribe to signals generated by selected signal providers (“Leaders” or “Master
Traders”). - Followers connect and apply these signals to their own brokerage accounts using independent third-party copy
trading tools or services (e.g., trade copiers, signal aggregators). - We do not host, manage, or execute trades on any platform. All trading occurs exclusively in your own forex
broker account via the third-party service you choose. - We act solely as a signal provider and facilitator on an execution-only basis and do not provide investment
advice. - All services comply with applicable South African regulations, including those under the Financial Advisory
and Intermediary Services Act (FAIS Act).
5. Copy Trading and Signal Subscription Specific Terms
- Signal Delivery: Signals are provided for informational purposes and delivered via the Site, email, or integrated third-party services.
- Third-Party Execution: You are solely responsible for selecting and configuring any third-party copy trading service to replicate signals in your own broker account. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee these third-party services.
- Differences in Performance: Your actual trading results may differ significantly from the Leader’s displayed performance due to third-party service delays, slippage, broker spreads/commissions, leverage differences, account settings, or market conditions.
- Leader Selection: You are solely responsible for choosing which Leaders’ signals to subscribe to or follow. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
- No Automated Execution by Us: We do not automatically execute or copy trades in your account.
6. Fees and Payments
- Subscription fees for access to signals, performance fees (shared with Leaders), or other charges may apply.
- Fees are billed through our payment processors and are non-refundable except where required by law.
- Leader compensation (e.g., profit-sharing) is outlined in their profile and may be facilitated separately if applicable.
7. Risks and Disclaimers
Trading financial instruments (including forex, CFDs, cryptocurrencies, stocks) involves high risk of loss,
potentially exceeding your deposits due to leverage and volatility.
