Legal
The short version, before the long ones: Vivalatesse sells software to brokerages. We never hold your money, we are not your broker, and the instruments our software is used to trade can lose you more than you put in.
The three things that matter most
0. We supply technology, and only technology
We are not an investment adviser, asset manager or signal provider. We do not run managed accounts or discretionary mandates, we take no performance fee, and we give no advice of any kind. We are also not a custodian, trustee, escrow agent or payment institution. If a description of us anywhere suggests otherwise, this page governs.
1. We do not hold or control client money
At no point does Vivalatesse take custody, possession, title or control of client funds. We do not operate client accounts, we do not hold a float, and we are not a party to any payment you make. Money moves between you, your brokerage and that brokerage's own payment providers and banks. Our software records and displays those movements; it does not perform them on its own behalf and it cannot be used by us to take your money.
2. We license only to regulated brokerages
We license our software exclusively to firms that hold a valid authorisation from a financial services regulator covering the activities they carry on, and that evidence it to us — as a condition of onboarding and of continued use. Your legal relationship, your account, your money and your trades sit with that brokerage, under its regulator, not with us.
2a. We never see your clients, and we do not do KYC
Traders are their brokerage's clients, not ours. Identity checks, sanctions screening, source-of-funds review and the decision to accept or refuse anyone are the brokerage's, under its own authorisation. Each brand runs on its own separate database; client records are never pooled, never sold, and never shared between brokerages.
2b. Illegal use ends the licence
Money laundering, sanctions evasion, fraud, misappropriation of client funds, or operating without the authorisation the activity requires — any of these ends access immediately, without notice or refund, with records preserved and disclosed where the law requires.
3. CFDs carry a high risk of loss
Contracts for difference are complex, leveraged products. Leverage magnifies losses as much as gains, positions can be closed out automatically against you, and you may lose more than your deposit unless your brokerage provides negative balance protection. Nothing we publish is advice or a recommendation. See the Risk Disclosure in full.
