These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of FundedAxe. Please read them carefully. All FundedAxe accounts are simulated demo accounts; no real-money trading takes place. Rewards are real money, calculated from your simulated trading performance.

FundedAxe is a proprietary trading firm that provides:
- Simulated trading environments and demo accounts
- Trading evaluations and performance-based programs
- Educational resources and analytics
- Access to third-party trading platforms and tools
All trading activity takes place in a simulated environment using demo accounts. No real-money trading, brokerage services, or investment management is provided. Rewards are real money, calculated from your performance in the simulated environment (see Section 13).
3. User Eligibility
To use our services, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have legal capacity to enter binding agreements
- Not reside in jurisdictions subject to FATF, EU, or UN sanctions

4. Account Registration and Security

- Provide and maintain accurate and current information
- Keep your login credentials secure
- Be fully responsible for all activity on your account
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach
5. Program Participation and Fees
Participation in FundedAxe programs is voluntary and subject to:
- Payment of applicable program fees prior to access, except on the Pay Later program, where $9.99 is paid to start and the program fee is charged only when you pass the challenge
- Compliance with all published trading rules and guidelines
- Meeting performance targets and evaluation criteria
- Adherence to defined risk management parameters
Program fees are used for operational costs, including technology, staffing, platform access, and business operations. Fees are not deposits, investments, or trading capital. Fees are non-refundable except as expressly set out in the Refund Policy (including the Fee Refund on Passing).
6. Trading Rules and Guidelines
All participants must comply with program-specific rules, including but not limited to:
- Maximum daily loss limits
- Maximum overall drawdown limits (see Section 6.1)
- Consistency requirements (see Section 6.2)
- Minimum hold time requirements (see Section 6.3)
- Prohibited trading behavior or strategies (see Section 8)
- Minimum trading day requirements (where stated on your plan)
The rules that apply to your account are exactly those published for your program at the time of purchase.
6.1 Maximum Overall Drawdown
During the evaluation phase, the maximum overall drawdown is static. On funded accounts under the 1-Step, 1-Step Pro, Instant and Pay Later programs, the maximum overall drawdown is trailing. The drawdown type and percentage that apply to your account are those published for your program at the time of purchase.
6.2 Consistency Rule
A consistency rule applies to your account where one is stated in your program rules. The applicable threshold ranges from 20% to 50%, depending on the program and the phase, and is published for your program at the time of purchase.
6.3 Minimum Hold Time
Positions must be held for a minimum of 3 minutes on all evaluations and on the Pay Later challenge, and for a minimum of 30 seconds on Pay Later funded accounts and on Instant accounts. Trades closed faster than the minimum hold time that applies to your account are not permitted.
6.4 Equity Protector
On funded accounts, where equity drawdown reaches 2%, losing positions are closed automatically. The Equity Protector is a protective measure only: it is not a breach of your account rules and it does not end your account.
6.5 News Trading
News trading is permitted. On funded accounts, profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact news release may be removed from the account.
6.6 Account Reset After a Breach
A paid account reset is available on the Pay Later program only. A breached Pay Later account may be reset 72 hours after the breach, for 40% of the program fee.
Rules locked at purchase
The rules in force at the time of your purchase apply unchanged for the life of that challenge or funded account. Rule improvements apply to you only if they are strictly in your favour.
Failure to comply with your program rules may result in account termination as set out in Section 12.

11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FundedAxe Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, and partners from any claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from:

- Use of a strategy prohibited under Section 8
- Identity fraud or misrepresentation during registration or verification
- Chargeback abuse, as described in the Refund Policy

Before termination for any reason other than automated breach of loss limits, we review the account and notify you of the specific breach.
13. Rewards
All FundedAxe accounts are simulated. Rewards are real money, calculated from your performance on a simulated funded account.
13.1 Reward Cycle
Funded traders may request their first reward 14 days after the first trade placed on the funded account, and a reward every 14 days thereafter.
13.2 Review
Reward requests are reviewed within 24 hours of submission.
The 48-Hour Oath
Approved rewards are initiated within 48 hours of approval. If we initiate later than 48 hours after approval, we credit $1,000 to that reward. One credit per reward request. Exclusions: incomplete identity verification (KYC), payment-provider or blockchain network outages beyond our control, and rewards under active rule-breach review.
13.3 Identity Verification (KYC)
Identity verification is completed once, at funded-account activation, and is a precondition for the first reward.
13.4 Reward Split
Your reward split is the split stated on your plan at purchase (80%, or up to 100% where the corresponding add-on has been purchased). The split in force at purchase applies for the life of that account.
13.5 Fee Refund on Passing
Where your plan includes a refundable fee, your evaluation fee is refunded together with your third approved reward on the corresponding funded account. On the Pay Later program the refund is paid with your fourth approved reward, and on Instant accounts with your fifth approved reward, as set out in the Refund Policy.
13.6 When a Reward Can Be Refused
Reward requests are only ever refused for the specific rule breaches listed in these Terms and your program rules — never at general discretion.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which FundedAxe Ltd is incorporated. The specific jurisdiction and venue will be published on this page and will not change retroactively for existing customers.
15. Dispute Resolution
15.1 Good-Faith Escalation
Before starting any formal proceedings, you agree to first raise the dispute with our support team at [email protected]. We will respond within 10 business days of receiving your complaint and will work with you in good faith to resolve it.
15.2 Arbitration or Courts
If a dispute is not resolved through good-faith escalation, it will be finally resolved either by binding arbitration or by the courts of FundedAxe Ltd’s jurisdiction of incorporation (as published under Section 14), which have exclusive jurisdiction.
15.3 Class-Action Waiver
To the extent enforceable under applicable law, disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding.
15.4 Mandatory Consumer Rights
Nothing in this section limits or excludes mandatory consumer rights or protections you hold under the laws of your country of residence (for example, in the EU or UK), including any right to bring proceedings in your local courts where that right cannot be excluded by agreement.
15.5 Time Limit for Claims
Except where prohibited by law, any claim arising out of these Terms or the services must be brought within 12 months of the event giving rise to the claim, or it is permanently barred.
16. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Updates do not override Section 6: the rules in force at your purchase apply unchanged for the life of that challenge or funded account, and later rule changes apply to you only if they are strictly in your favour.
