Statutory Basis & Global Regulatory Demarcation
Foundational regulatory compliance, institutional demarcation, universal non-solicitation, and proxy bans.
Residents, citizens, or entities incorporated in any restricted jurisdiction listed herein are strictly prohibited from accessing, registering, or executing trading evaluations or live accounts on ZyroPilot. Any attempt to circumvent geo-blocking via Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), proxies, or forged residency documents constitutes actionable fraud.
1.1Purpose & Institutional Compliance Mandate
ZyroPilot Technologies Ltd. ('ZyroPilot', 'the Company', 'we', 'us', or 'our') maintains an unwavering policy of strict conformity with international financial legislation and sovereign regulatory jurisdictions. To protect retail investors and uphold regulatory mandates, ZyroPilot does not solicit, market to, accept applications from, or provide services to citizens or residents of jurisdictions where binary options derivatives are prohibited by law.
1.2Adherence to Sovereign Regulatory Directives
Multiple tier-one financial regulatory authorities—including the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)—have instituted strict product intervention orders or blanket statutory bans on retail binary options. ZyroPilot strictly respects and enforces these prohibitions.
1.3Universal Scope of Prohibition
The jurisdictional exclusions established in this Policy apply universally without exception to:
- Permanent residents or citizens of restricted jurisdictions, regardless of their physical location at the moment of terminal access.
- Individuals physically situated within a restricted jurisdiction, regardless of their nationality or dual citizenship.
- Commercial partnerships, trusts, or corporate entities registered, incorporated, or operating within restricted territories.
- Third-party asset managers, algorithmic bots, or proxy operators acting on behalf of restricted individuals.
1.4Absolute Ban on VPN & Proxy Circumvention
Employing technical subterfuge—including commercial VPNs, residential proxies, Tor exit nodes, or remote virtual desktops—to disguise geographical origin constitutes a direct violation of the ZyroPilot Master Terms of Service. Detected accounts will be subjected to instantaneous suspension and balance forfeiture.
Tier 1 Prohibited Jurisdictions (Statutory Blanket Bans)
Comprehensive prohibitions across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canadian provinces.
2.1United States of America (CFTC & SEC Prohibition)
Under the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations enforced by the CFTC and SEC, it is unlawful to offer binary options and digital contracts to U.S. persons unless executed on a registered designated contract market (DCM). ZyroPilot does not solicit or onboard U.S. persons, residents, green card holders, or U.S.-incorporated corporate entities.
2.2United Kingdom (FCA Permanent Retail Ban)
In January 2019, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) enacted a permanent statutory ban prohibiting the sale, marketing, and distribution of binary options to retail consumers. In compliance with UK financial promotions legislation, ZyroPilot does not service UK residents or consumers.
2.3Australia (ASIC Product Intervention Order)
In May 2021, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) issued an institutional Product Intervention Order banning the issue and distribution of binary options to retail clients. ZyroPilot strictly excludes Australian citizens, tax residents, and domestic entities.
2.4Canada (Provincial Securities Blanket Bans)
The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA)—incorporating the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC), and Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF)—enforce blanket prohibitions against offering binary options contracts to Canadian retail individuals.
Tier 2 Prohibited Jurisdictions (Asia-Pacific Regulatory Bans)
Regulatory restrictions and bans enforced by financial authorities in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and New Zealand.
3.1Japan (Financial Services Agency - JFSA)

3.2South Korea (FSC & FSS Regulatory Mandates)
The South Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) and Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) strictly regulate foreign OTC derivative offerings. Retail OTC binary trading via foreign unregistered portals is restricted by law.
3.3Hong Kong SAR (Securities and Futures Commission - SFC)
The Hong Kong SFC maintains stringent licensing requirements for marketing financial derivatives. Unregistered overseas binary options platforms cannot legally solicit or service retail investors residing within Hong Kong.
3.4New Zealand (Financial Markets Authority - FMA)
The New Zealand FMA advises consumers against unlicensed binary options platforms and enforces licensing mandates. ZyroPilot does not onboard retail residents of New Zealand.
Comprehensive Sanctions Regimes & FATF High-Risk Lists
OFAC embargoed states, FATF Call-for-Action Blacklist, United Nations Security Council, and EU restrictive measures.
ZyroPilot completely bars all accounts originating from territories subject to comprehensive economic embargoes or listed on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Blacklist. No exceptions, exemptions, or conditional waivers are granted under any circumstances.
4.1OFAC Comprehensive Sanctions Jurisdictions
ZyroPilot strictly excludes individuals and entities residing in or associated with territories subject to comprehensive United States Treasury OFAC economic sanctions, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea (DPRK), Syria, and contested regional territories (including Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions).
4.2FATF High-Risk Jurisdictions (The Blacklist)
ZyroPilot denies onboarding to residents of jurisdictions identified by the Financial Action Task Force as 'High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action', reflecting severe strategic deficiencies in national anti-money laundering frameworks.
4.3United Nations & European Union Restrictive Measures
All registrations are automatically cross-audited against active UN Security Council and EU Council sanctions regulations. Any person subject to targeted asset freezes is permanently barred.

Technical Geo-Fencing, IP Inspection & Anti-Spoofing
Edge network inspection, ASN classification, deep packet proxy detection, and automated terminal interception.
5.1Edge Network Geolocation Telemetry
ZyroPilot deploys low-latency edge network infrastructure (powered by enterprise Cloudflare and distributed AWS routing) that analyzes client IP packets before connection initialization. Requests originating from restricted IP subnets are greeted with an automated 403 Forbidden compliance barrier.
5.2Autonomous System Number (ASN) & Proxy Classification
Our security systems continuously cross-reference connection ASNs against global databases of known datacenter IP blocks, commercial VPN providers (e.g. NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark), Tor exit relays, and residential proxy networks. Any connection identified as routed through an anonymizer is immediately severed.
5.3Client-Side Behavioral & Hardware Fingerprinting
ZyroPilot terminal software performs passive client-side checks, analyzing browser locale, operating system time zone offset, keyboard layout, and network round-trip latency to detect discrepancies between declared location and actual physical origin.
Mandatory KYC Residency Audits & Physical Documentation
Two-point residency validation, utility bill recency criteria, and fraud prosecution for altered documents.
6.1Compulsory Physical Document Validation
Technical geo-fencing is reinforced by mandatory Customer Due Diligence (KYC). Before authorizing any balance withdrawal or evaluation challenge payout, applicants must furnish an unexpired government photo ID and a certified Proof of Address (utility bill, bank statement, or council tax assessment dated within the preceding 90 days).
6.2Rigorous Fraud & Forgery Sanctions
Submitting altered, photoshopped, borrowed, or counterfeit residency documents to circumvent country restrictions constitutes criminal fraud. ZyroPilot reserves the right to report forged documents to national law enforcement agencies and financial intelligence units.
6.3Temporary Travel vs. Sovereign Relocation
Temporary tourism or business travel into a restricted country does not alter a trader's legal domicile, but live terminal access may be blocked while on foreign networks. Conversely, citizens of restricted nations who have permanently relocated to an approved country can apply for onboarding by demonstrating legal residency in that approved nation.
Enforcement Protocols, Account Liquidation & Fund Forfeiture
Immediate account liquidation, total forfeiture of challenge gains, restitution discretion, and legal referrals.
Any account established in violation of jurisdictional prohibitions is declared void ab initio. All accrued profits, funded challenge allocations, performance-split distributions, and promotional bonuses are forfeited immediately in full.
7.1Instantaneous Account Termination
Upon discovering that an account holder is a resident, citizen, or agent of a restricted jurisdiction, ZyroPilot compliance officers will instantaneously terminate trading privileges, cancel active contracts, and lock user access without prior formal notice.
7.2Complete Forfeiture of Platform Profits & Fees
Because contracts placed from restricted jurisdictions violate our Master Agreement and underlying statutory laws, all realized trading profits, challenge evaluation credentials, and funded account profit allocations are forfeited in their entirety.
7.3Deposit Restitution Discretion & Forensics Fee
ZyroPilot reserves sole discretion regarding whether to return original deposited cryptocurrency principal to the originating wallet, subject to applicable AML laws and the deduction of administrative forensic audit costs (up to 20% of deposited capital).
Dynamic Regulatory Evolution & Sovereign Statutory Updates
Ongoing legal surveillance, immediate enforcement of new national restrictions, and continuing trader duty.
8.1Active Global Statutory Monitoring
ZyroPilot legal counsel and regulatory monitors continuously review legislative modifications, court decisions, and regulatory bulletins across global jurisdictions. When a new sovereign state enacts restrictive derivative legislation, ZyroPilot updates its systems without delay.
8.2Immediate Application to Existing Accounts
If your country of residence enacts a binary options prohibition subsequent to your account registration, ZyroPilot will notify you and initiate an orderly settlement of open contracts and evaluations, followed by closure of your account in accordance with the new law.
8.3Trader Independent Due Diligence Obligation
It remains your non-delegable personal obligation to verify that your participation in proprietary trading and evaluations conforms to the domestic laws of your municipal residence at all times.
Affiliate Partner Marketing Bans & Strict Territorial Covenants
Prohibition on marketing in banned regions, commission clawbacks, partner terminations, and legal indemnification.
9.1Absolute Ban on Restricted Territory Promotion
ZyroPilot affiliate partners, marketing agencies, and social media influencers are strictly prohibited from targeting advertisements, sponsored content, referral links, or promotional funnels toward residents of restricted jurisdictions.
9.2Commission Clawback & Agreement Cancellation
Any referral commission, rev-share accrual, or challenge sales bounty generated from an account originating in a restricted country will be clawed back immediately, and the affiliate's partnership agreement will be terminated for cause.
9.3Partner Indemnification Covenant
Affiliates contractually agree to indemnify and hold harmless ZyroPilot Technologies Ltd. against any regulatory inquiries, financial penalties, or legal fees resulting from unauthorized marketing campaigns conducted in restricted jurisdictions.
Legitimate Relocation Appeals & Compliance Verification Desk
Verification process for emigrants from restricted nations, appeals criteria, and definitive compliance authority.
10.1Sovereign Emigration & Relocation Appeals Protocol

- Official permanent resident card, work visa, or biometric residence permit (BRP) issued by an approved nation.
