External Dispute resolution

You may also choose to refer the matter to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (‘ASIC’). ASIC may be contacted on their free call Infoline 1300 300 630.

If the complaint does not fall within the rules of AFCA, you may request us to submit the complaint to arbitration. If we agree to your request, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with, and subject to, the Institute of Arbitrators and Mediators of Australia Expedited Commercial Arbitration Rules, and to the extent permitted under those rules the Arbitrator will be a person recommended by the New South Wales Chapter of the Institute of Arbitrators and Mediators of Australia.

If we do not agree to your request, you may not submit the dispute or difference to arbitration, although you may commence legal proceedings against us, in which case you agree to submit the dispute or difference to the courts of New South Wales, Australia.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any dispute or difference whatsoever raised by you in connection with the FSG, and CMC Markets Stockbroking Terms and Conditions or other relevant documents (‘CMC Markets Documents‘) and our products must be dealt with in Australia as described above. The CMC Markets Documents are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
