User Agreement — Challenge & Express Phase

This User Agreement — Challenge & Express Phase (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the date of acceptance (the "Effective Date"), by and between:

Solo Clash L.L.C-FZ ("Company"), a limited liability company registered in the Meydan Free Zone (Meydan Grandstand, 6th Floor, Meydan Rd, Nad Al Sheba 1, Dubai, UAE; license number: 2538558.01), and the user, as defined by the Terms & Conditions ("User").

This Agreement governs User's participation in the Company's Challenge Phase and Express Phase training and skills-evaluation trading programs made available through soloclash.com (the "Platform"), in addition to the Terms & Conditions. This Agreement does not govern any live trading arrangement that the Company may, at its sole discretion, separately offer to any person (a "Live Phase"). Any Live Phase is the subject of a separate agreement, does not form part of the Program, and is not offered, acquired, or paid for by way of any fee payable under this Agreement.

1.1 Trading Academy. User acknowledges and agrees that the Company operates as a trading academy. The Company provides a range of services designed to train, evaluate, and develop User's trading skills, including without limitation structured trading challenges, trading rules and benchmarks, educational materials, and analytical and performance-tracking tools. The Challenge Phase and the Express Phase (together, the "Program") are training and skills-evaluation programs offered by the Company, and are not, and shall not be construed as, investment, brokerage, portfolio management, or asset management services.

1.2 Simulated Environment Only. User acknowledges and agrees that all trading activity conducted during the Challenge Phase and the Express Phase takes place exclusively in a simulated ("demo") trading environment, using fictitious capital. No real funds are traded, deposited, held, or withdrawn in any live financial market by or on behalf of User during the Challenge Phase or the Express Phase, and no order placed by User during these phases is transmitted to, or executed in, any live market. All prices, quotes, and other market data displayed in the simulated environment are generated or supplied by the Company or its third-party technology providers for simulation purposes only, may be delayed or aggregated from prices on any trading venue, and are used solely as an input to the simulation and to the assessment of User's performance. Any account size, balance, equity, profit, or loss displayed in respect of an Account is a notional figure that serves solely as a parameter of the relevant evaluation and as a performance metric; it has no monetary value, does not constitute a deposit, credit, asset, or claim of either party, and cannot be withdrawn, transferred, pledged, or exchanged for money.

1.3 No Regulated Financial Services. The Program is educational and evaluative in nature. The Company does not provide investment advice, brokerage services, portfolio management, or fiduciary services, whether during the Program or otherwise. In particular, the Company does not (a) receive, transmit, or execute any order on behalf of User, (b) deal in any financial instrument with or for User, (c) manage any portfolio, funds, or capital on behalf of User, or (d) provide User with any personal recommendation. All educational materials, analytical tools, and other content made available through the Program are of a general nature, do not take into account User's personal circumstances or objectives, and do not constitute investment advice, investment research, or a personal recommendation of any kind.

1.4 Nature and Purpose of Simulated Payouts. User acknowledges and agrees that any amount payable to User in connection with the Challenge Phase or Express Phase (a "Simulated Payout") is a reward for User's assessed performance in the Program, determined in accordance with Section 6, and relates solely to User's performance in the simulated trading environment described in Section 1.2. A Simulated Payout does not represent, and is not calculated as, a share of any real trading profit, investment return, brokerage proceeds, or wages, nor a return on any fee paid by User, and no real market gain or loss corresponds to it. Simulated Payouts are provided by the Company (a) as a psychological training mechanism, designed to replicate, under realistic incentive conditions, the discipline and decision-making pressure associated with managing real capital, and (b) for the Company's marketing and promotional purposes, including to showcase User outcomes achieved within the Program. User shall not represent a Simulated Payout, to any third party or otherwise, as evidence of live trading profitability, brokerage activity, or investment performance.

1.5 Purpose of Risk Management Rules. User acknowledges that the drawdown limits, consistency requirements, position-sizing limits, permitted-instrument restrictions, and other risk management and behavioral rules set out in the Trading Rules (collectively, the "Risk Rules") are imposed for training and educational purposes, namely to instill risk-management discipline in User. Compliance with the Risk Rules during the Challenge Phase and/or the Express Phase does not, by itself or in combination with any level of simulated performance, create any right, entitlement, or guarantee of (a) any Simulated Payout, or (b) any offer of a Live Phase.

1.6 Risk Disclosure. User acknowledges that trading, whether simulated or live, involves inherent risks and limitations, and expressly agrees that the Risk Disclosure contained within the Company's Terms & Conditions forms an integral part of this Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference.

1.7 Purpose of the Express Phase. User acknowledges and agrees that the Express Phase is an advanced evaluation stage of the Program, conducted in the same simulated environment as the Challenge Phase, in which User's performance is assessed against the criteria set out in Section 1.8. Simulated Payouts made available during the Express Phase are determined and capped as set out in Section 6 and the Trading Rules, so as to expose User, in a controlled and limited manner, to realistic incentive conditions, without User bearing any financial risk or acquiring any exposure to real capital or to the price of any financial instrument. The Express Phase is not a live trading stage, does not lead automatically to a Live Phase, and does not form part of any Live Phase. As set out in Section 1.5, the Risk Rules applicable during the Express Phase, as throughout the Program, are imposed for training and educational purposes and are designed to support User's acquisition of responsible trading discipline, and this training purpose is a core element of the Company's function as a trading academy.

1.8 Evaluation Criteria; Objective Metrics. User acknowledges and agrees that User's performance during the Challenge Phase and the Express Phase is assessed against objective, pre-defined criteria published in the Trading Rules, including without limitation: (a) consistency of trading performance across the applicable evaluation period; (b) compliance with, and the absence of any breach of, the Risk Rules and other applicable trading rules; and (c) adherence to any applicable minimum or maximum trading-day requirements and other time-based limits set out in the Trading Rules. User acknowledges that these criteria are objective and verifiable, that User is able to monitor User's own progress against them through the performance-tracking tools made available on the Platform, and that the outcome of User's participation in the Program is determined by User's own trading decisions, including User's risk management, consistency, and compliance with the Risk Rules and other applicable rules.

1.9 No Financial Instrument or Market Exposure. User acknowledges and agrees that neither this Agreement, nor any Account, nor any simulated position, nor any Simulated Payout constitutes, or gives User any right in respect of, a financial instrument, including any derivative, contract for difference, or other instrument the value of which is derived from the price of an underlying asset. User does not acquire, hold, or dispose of any financial instrument, and does not acquire any economic exposure to the price of any asset, index, rate, or other underlying, through the Program. User's simulated trading activity does not constitute an order or instruction to the Company or to any third party, and the Company does not transmit, execute, or act upon such activity on behalf of or for the account of User. Any decision of the Company concerning its own business, including its own risk management, is taken independently and solely for its own account, and is not taken on behalf of, for the account of, or upon instructions from User.

1.10 No Allocation of Capital; No Holding of Funds. The Company does not allocate, lend, provide, or manage any capital, funds, or assets for or on behalf of User, and the Program does not involve any funded account. Any reference on the Platform or in the Company's marketing materials to an account size, "funded" status, capital, or similar terms refers solely to the notional parameters of the simulated environment described in Section 1.2. The Company does not hold any funds on behalf of User, and no Account, balance, or entitlement to a Simulated Payout constitutes a deposit, a payment account, or electronic money.

1.11 Skills-Based Evaluation; No Wagering. The Program is a skills-based training and evaluation service. Fees payable under Section 5 are consideration for the services described in Section 1.1 and are not a stake, wager, or bet, and the Program is not a game of chance, lottery, betting, or gaming arrangement. Whether a Simulated Payout becomes payable, and its amount, depends on User's own trading decisions and performance in the simulated environment, measured in accordance with Section 1.8, Section 6, and the Trading Rules, and not on any random selection or draw.

The following documents are expressly incorporated into and form part of this Agreement:

• Terms & Conditions
• Trading Rules / Rulebook
• Privacy Policy
• Cookie Policy
• Risk Disclosure (as referenced in the Terms)

In the event of any conflict, this Agreement shall prevail unless expressly stated otherwise.

3.1 Simulated Trading Account. The Company shall provide User access to one or more simulated trading accounts ("Account") subject to the applicable challenge, evaluation, and Simulated Payout rules published on the Platform.

3.2 Program Stages. This Agreement governs participation in the following stages of the Program:

• Challenge Phase
• Express Phase

3.3 Completion of the Program. Successful completion of the Challenge Phase and/or the Express Phase, including satisfaction of any simulated profit target, minimum trading days, drawdown, or other requirement set out in the Trading Rules, marks the end of the Program and, by itself, confers no right, entitlement, offer, or expectation of any kind beyond the Program. In particular, it does not constitute an offer of, application for, admission to, or promise of a Live Phase.

3.4 Live Phase under a Separate Arrangement. Whether to invite any User to participate in a Live Phase following the Program, if the Company offers one at all, is a separate matter decided by the Company entirely at its own sole and absolute discretion, independent of and not required by completion of, or performance in, the Program. No provision of this Agreement, and no level of simulated performance achieved by User, shall be construed as creating any right, entitlement, offer, or guarantee of progression to a Live Phase. The Company may decline to offer a Live Phase to any person, or may discontinue offering a Live Phase generally, at any time and without liability.

3.5 No Live Execution. Consistently with Sections 1.2 and 1.9, no activity of User under the Program is transmitted to or executed in any live market at any time, and the Program confers no right to, or expectation of, the live execution of any trade. The terms governing any Live Phase, including whether and to what extent any trade in a Live Phase is executed in a live market, are set out exclusively in the separate agreement referred to in the preamble to this Agreement.

3.6 Modification of Rules. The Company reserves the right to modify program rules, limits, thresholds, and conditions at its sole discretion at any time, by updating the policies or descriptions on its Help/FAQ page. Continued participation constitutes acceptance of such modifications.

3.7 Account Lifetime. User acknowledges and agrees that Accounts are not provided for an unlimited or indefinite duration. Each Account is subject to the validity period, expiration terms, and any inactivity-based deactivation rules set out in the Trading Rules, and the Company may deactivate, expire, or close an Account in accordance with those rules.

User agrees to:

• Trade only permitted simulated instruments
• Comply with all Risk Rules, including drawdown, contract size, consistency, and behavioral rules, as set out on https://help.soloclash.com/, and acknowledges that such rules serve the training purpose described in Section 1.5
• Use only personal devices and approved platforms
• Avoid exploitation of simulation mechanics, latency, or platform behavior
• Refrain from copy trading, mirroring, or coordinated account activity, aside from User's own Accounts

Violations may result in immediate termination, forfeiture of simulated results, and denial of Simulated Payouts.

5.1 Participation Fees. User shall pay all applicable one-time participation fees as displayed at checkout, as consideration for access to the Platform, the simulated trading environment, the educational and analytical tools, and the evaluation services provided under the Program. Fees are non-refundable except where expressly stated by the Company or where a refund is required under applicable mandatory law.

5.2 Resets. Account resets, if permitted, are subject to additional fees as outlined in the Trading Rules.

5.3 No Loss Financing; No Negative Balance Carryover. User acknowledges and agrees that User is never required, and shall not be permitted, to fund, finance, or otherwise cover any simulated loss, drawdown, or negative balance recorded on an Account. Any negative balance or simulated loss recorded on an Account shall not be carried forward to, set off against, or otherwise taken into account in connection with, any subsequent phase, Account, or Simulated Payout, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company, including any agreement governing a Live Phase. For the avoidance of doubt, no reset fee, drawdown top-up, subscription, or similar payment shall be construed as financing a loss or as a mechanism to keep a failed or breached Account active; failure of an Account, whether by breach of the Risk Rules, exceedance of a drawdown limit, or otherwise, marks the definitive end of that Account's participation in the Program and does not create or carry forward any debt or other obligation owed by User to the Company.

5.4 Nature of Fees. No fee payable under this Agreement is, or shall be construed as, a deposit, a margin, an investment, a stake, or a contribution to any capital, fund, or pool. Fees are not invested, traded, segregated, or held for User or for any other user, and do not form a fund from which Simulated Payouts are paid; Simulated Payouts are paid by the Company from its general resources.

6.1 Eligibility. Eligibility for a Simulated Payout is governed strictly by the Trading Rules defined by the Company, including minimum trading days, drawdown compliance, and simulated profit thresholds.

6.2 Calculation of Simulated Payouts. The Simulated Payout available in respect of an Account during the Express Phase shall equal 50% (fifty per cent) of the eligible simulated profits recorded on that Account during the Express Phase (the other 50% (fifty per cent) remaining recorded on the Account as a notional figure, without being paid to, or held for, either party), subject to all applicable caps and conditions set out in the Trading Rules. The simulated profits recorded on an Account serve solely as the measure of User's performance for the purposes of this calculation and do not represent any real profit. As described in Section 1.4, amounts paid under this Section are Simulated Payouts made for training and marketing purposes and do not represent real investment or trading profit.

6.3 Payout Frequency. Simulated Payouts may be requested weekly in accordance with the Trading Rules and are subject to review and approval.

6.4 Payout Cap. Simulated Payouts are subject to the maximum percentage and cumulative limits set forth in the Trading Rules.

6.5 No Guarantee. Simulated performance does not guarantee future profitability, any Simulated Payout, any offer of a Live Phase, or any engagement or employment.
