Nature of the Vault Funder Service

Vault Funder provides simulated trading evaluations and access to simulated funded accounts for skill assessment. Challenge fees are paid for access to the evaluation programme and related platform services. No client deposits are accepted for live market trading by Vault Funder, and no participant funds are traded, held in custody, or invested on behalf of customers through the Vault Funder evaluation programme.

Any reference to "funded", "capital", "account size", "profit split", "payout", "withdrawal", "execution", "spread", or "leverage" on this website must be understood in the context of a simulated evaluation environment unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

Vault Funder does not provide personal financial advice, investment recommendations, tax advice, brokerage services, portfolio management, or discretionary investment services through this website. Website content is general information only and does not take account of any customer's objectives, financial situation, or needs.

Risk and Marketing Disclosures

Trading in financial markets is high risk. Simulated trading results do not represent actual trading results and are not reliable indicators of future performance. Eligibility for any performance payout is subject to the published rules, verification checks, account status, and the applicable legal documents.

Any statistics, payout examples, certificates, reviews, rankings, or performance illustrations on this website are historical or illustrative and should not be treated as a promise, forecast, guarantee, or representation that a customer will pass an evaluation, receive a funded account, or qualify for a payout.

Vault Funder does not guarantee profits, investment returns, challenge success, account scaling, withdrawal availability, or payout timing. Payout timing depends on approval, identity and anti-money-laundering checks, payment rail availability, bank or crypto network processing, and compliance review.

Complaints and Ombud

Complaints should be submitted in writing with all relevant account details and supporting documents. Complaints relating to a regulated financial service will be handled under the FAIS complaints process where FAIS applies. Complaints relating only to simulated evaluation services will be handled under Vault Funder's internal complaints process.
