22.7. Interest is calculated on the basis of net free equity on each account, unless specifically agreed otherwise. Interest will be charged on the full negative net free equity on any account, regardless of whether the client holds other accounts which have positive net free equity;
22.8. All amounts incurred by KadoCapital as a result of the client’s default under the terms of these terms & conditions, including without limitation, all reasonable legal costs on a note that this means that if you hold multiple accounts, you may incur interest charges although the aggregate net free equity position of all of your accounts may be positive;
