Any such Order will be subject to further review within a reasonable period. In case we are unable to clear an Order on the basis of the necessary compliance requirement due to the lack of sufficient information or other relevant reasons, we may require you to provide additional information about your identity and/or the nature of your transaction, as well as other important details relevant to compliance requirements.
We will not fulfill any Order failing to meet the relevant compliance requirements, given that the necessary information has not been provided and our Compliance Team has reasonable grounds not to fulfill such an Order on the basis of its non-compliance with the relevant requirements and legislation. Such Orders will not be fulfilled under any circumstances.
