Restricted Countries & Jurisdictions Notice

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The New Zealand FMA advises consumers against unlicensed binary options platforms and enforces licensing mandates. ZyroPilot does not onboard retail residents of New Zealand.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

All relocation appeals and jurisdictional inquiries must be directed to our specialized compliance team at compliance@zyropilot.com. Appellants will receive a formal written determination within five (5) business days.

ZyroPilot's Chief Compliance Officer maintains sole, unappealable authority regarding the admissibility of any country, applicant, or appeal under this Policy.
