Terms, privacy and how we govern ourselves.

EKNOX Metals & Minerals is a trading division of EKNOX Minerals LLC, a limited liability company organised in South Carolina, United States, and an affiliate of EKNOX Strategic Execution Group LLC. Where a transaction or programme is undertaken through a different entity in the group, or through a special purpose vehicle, that entity is identified in the mandate.

This site is provided for general information. Nothing on it is an offer to buy or sell any commodity, security or instrument, an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity, or a solicitation in any jurisdiction where such a solicitation would be unlawful. Nothing on it is investment, tax, accounting or legal advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for your own professional advisers. EKNOX is not a licensed investment adviser, broker-dealer or bank.

The instruments published in the document library are working forms in EKNOX house style, provided so counterparties and their advisers can see the framework before engaging. They contain bracketed placeholders and are not executed agreements. They have not been drafted for your specific transaction or jurisdiction and should be reviewed by qualified counsel before execution. Downloading them creates no relationship between us.

Through enquiry forms we receive the name, position, entity, email and message you supply. Through onboarding we receive identity documents, beneficial ownership particulars, and politically-exposed-person and sanctions screening results — necessary to meet anti-money-laundering and sanctions obligations, which is the lawful basis for holding them. We do not sell personal data, do not use it for advertising, and do not transfer it other than to our professional advisers, escrow agents, banks, and where compelled by law or regulator. Onboarding material is retained for the period required by applicable recordkeeping rules and then destroyed. You may ask us what we hold about you and ask for correction.

The Client Access portal is a static encrypted page: each client's data is encrypted with its own key, and each user's key material is derived from their own password. It deliberately has no server component that receives or stores files. Credentials are issued to named individuals and must not be shared. The portal is a status and coordination layer — identity documents, ownership registers and payment instructions are transferred through a separate secure channel, not stored in it. Report any suspected credential compromise immediately.

EKNOX prohibits bribery in every form, including facilitation payments, and applies that prohibition to its personnel, partners, agents and any intermediary acting on its behalf. We do not offer, promise, give, request or accept any financial or other advantage intended to improperly influence a public official or commercial counterparty. Political contributions are not made on behalf of a client or to advance a transaction. Gifts and hospitality involving public officials are prohibited save for items of nominal value that are transparent, recorded and lawful in the relevant jurisdiction. Any request for an improper payment terminates the engagement, is recorded, and is reported where reporting obligations apply.

We screen all counterparties, beneficial owners, agents, carriers, receiving facilities and payment recipients against United States OFAC measures and applicable United Kingdom, European Union and United Nations designations, before opening a transaction and again before settlement. We do not transact in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions, and we decline where screening discloses an unresolved concern. Where a matter requires a licence, we will not proceed without it.

EKNOX never requests advance fees, "clearance" or "release" payments, or any payment to an individual rather than a named entity or authority. We do not accept bank guarantees, standby letters of credit, safekeeping receipts or prime bank instruments as proof of funds or as product. If you receive such a request purporting to come from us, it is fraudulent — do not pay it, and tell us. Requests to change settlement banking details are verified by callback to a number held before the transaction opened, never to a number supplied with the request.

The EKNOX name, crest and the content of this site are the property of EKNOX Minerals LLC and its affiliates. The document forms may be reviewed and used by a counterparty for the purpose of evaluating or executing a transaction with us. They may not be redistributed, resold, or presented as another party's work.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States. Transaction and programme documentation states its own governing law and dispute resolution provisions, which prevail over this page for that transaction. Our standard form provides for arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce, seated in New York.
