C4Cu - Fee Schedule

A42C Ltd | Company No. 16627000 | 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX

Last updated: 10 February 2026

This Fee Schedule ("Schedule") sets out the fees, charges, and costs applicable to the use of the C4Cu / Cooper 4 Copper platform ("Platform") and to transactions entered into between C4Cu / A42C Ltd ("C4Cu", "Seller", "we", "us") and the user ("Buyer", "you", "your").

This Schedule forms part of, and should be read together with, the C4Cu Website Terms & Conditions, the Master Copper Sale & Allocation Agreement ("Master Agreement"), the Sell-Back Policy, the Delivery Instruction & Logistics Addendum, the Risk Disclosure, and any applicable Trade Confirmation(s) (collectively, the "Governing Documents"). In the event of any inconsistency between this Schedule and the Master Agreement, the Master Agreement shall prevail.

All fees stated in this Schedule are exclusive of any applicable taxes, duties, or levies unless expressly stated otherwise. C4Cu reserves the right to amend this Schedule from time to time in accordance with Section 11 below.

1. Purchase Fees

1.1 Copper purchases made through the Platform are priced on the basis of the following formula:

Total Purchase Price = (LME Cash Price per metric tonne x Quantity in metric tonnes) + Purchase Premium

1.2 The components of the purchase price are as follows:

Base Price: The prevailing London Metal Exchange (LME) Cash Settlement Price for Grade A copper cathodes at the time of the transaction, as determined by the LME and published through its official data channels.
Purchase Premium: A premium of five per cent (5%) of the Base Price, applied to each purchase transaction.

1.3 The Purchase Premium covers, without limitation, the costs of sourcing and procurement of physical copper, warehousing and storage at LME-approved facilities, logistics coordination, platform operation and maintenance, regulatory compliance and reporting, administration, and banking and settlement costs.

1.4 The Purchase Premium is non-negotiable and is applied uniformly to all Buyers. C4Cu does not offer volume-based discounts on the Purchase Premium unless expressly agreed in writing.

1.5 The LME Cash Price is subject to continuous fluctuation. The price displayed on the Platform at the time of order placement is indicative only. The final price applied to the transaction shall be the LME Cash Price prevailing at the time the transaction is confirmed and cleared funds are received by C4Cu.

1.6 Illustrative Example: If the prevailing LME Cash Price is USD 9,500 per metric tonne and the Buyer purchases 10 kilograms (0.01 metric tonnes), the calculation would be as follows: Base Price = USD 9,500 x 0.01 = USD 95.00; Purchase Premium = USD 95.00 x 5% = USD 4.75; Total Purchase Price = USD 99.75. This example is for illustration only and does not represent a guaranteed or fixed price.

2. Payment Method Fees

2.1 Bank Transfer (Wire Transfer / SWIFT / SEPA):

No additional processing fee is charged by C4Cu for payments made by bank transfer.
The Buyer's own bank may impose charges for outgoing wire transfers, intermediary bank fees, or currency conversion. Such charges are entirely the Buyer's responsibility and are not refundable by C4Cu.

2.2 Card Payments (Debit / Credit):

Card payments are processed by third-party payment service providers and are subject to additional processing fees imposed by those providers.
The applicable card processing fee will be clearly displayed to the Buyer at checkout, prior to confirmation of the transaction.
Card processing fees are collected by the third-party payment provider and are not retained by C4Cu.
C4Cu accepts no liability for fees, charges, or foreign exchange costs imposed by the Buyer's card issuer or bank.

2.3 Other Payment Methods: C4Cu may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, accept alternative payment methods. Any fees associated with such methods will be communicated to the Buyer prior to completion of the transaction.

3. Currency Conversion Fees

3.1 All copper transactions on the Platform are denominated in United States Dollars (USD). Where the Buyer makes payment in a currency other than USD, or where sell-back proceeds or other disbursements are requested in a currency other than USD (including EUR, GBP, or HKD), currency conversion will be applied.

3.2 The exchange rate applied by C4Cu or its banking and payment partners may include a spread or margin above the prevailing interbank or mid-market rate. C4Cu does not guarantee any particular exchange rate.

3.3 Any costs, charges, or margins associated with currency conversion are borne solely by the Buyer. C4Cu is not responsible for exchange rate fluctuations between the time of order placement and settlement, or between the time of sell-back execution and payment.

3.4 The Buyer acknowledges and accepts that foreign exchange rates are volatile and that currency conversion may result in a higher effective purchase price or lower effective sell-back proceeds than anticipated. Buyers are encouraged to review the Risk Disclosure for further information on currency and foreign exchange risk.

4. Sell-Back Fees

4.1 Where a Buyer requests a sell-back of allocated copper in accordance with the Sell-Back Policy, the following fees and deductions shall apply:

Sell-Back Price: The sell-back price shall be based on the prevailing LME Cash Price at the time of execution by C4Cu, as described in the Sell-Back Policy.
Administration and Banking Fee: A fixed administration and banking fee of USD 75 (seventy-five United States dollars), or local currency equivalent, shall be deducted from the gross sell-back proceeds for each sell-back transaction.

4.2 The administration and banking fee covers, without limitation, banking and settlement costs, compliance and identity verification processing, administrative handling, and record-keeping associated with the sell-back.

4.3 Additional deductions may be applied in accordance with the Sell-Back Policy, including any outstanding account fees, storage charges, dormant account fees, third-party payment processing charges, and currency conversion costs.

4.4 Where the total deductions applicable to a sell-back request exceed or would exceed the gross sell-back proceeds, C4Cu may decline the request or require the Buyer to settle the outstanding balance before proceeding.

4.5 The sell-back administration fee is non-refundable once the sell-back has been executed.

5. Physical Delivery Fees

5.1 Where a Buyer elects physical delivery of copper in accordance with the Master Agreement and the Delivery Instruction & Logistics Addendum, the following fee shall apply:

Delivery Administration Fee: A delivery administration fee equal to five per cent (5%) of the total delivery value shall be charged. The delivery value is calculated as the LME Cash Price at the time of delivery confirmation multiplied by the final warrant weight.

5.2 The delivery administration fee covers delivery coordination and administration, LME warrant transfer and documentation handling, compliance verification, and operational coordination with warehouse operators.

5.3 The delivery administration fee does not include, and the Buyer remains solely responsible for, the following costs:

Warehouse handling and load-out charges
Storage charges (including rent and insurance at the LME-approved warehouse)
Transportation and freight (road, rail, sea, or air)
Marine, transit, or goods-in-storage insurance
Import duties, export duties, tariffs, and excise
Customs clearance and brokerage fees
Value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), or equivalent
Any other costs or charges arising after in-warehouse transfer

5.4 C4Cu will provide an indicative estimate of the delivery administration fee upon request. The final fee shall be determined at the time of delivery confirmation and shall be payable in full prior to the in-warehouse transfer being effected.

6. Dormant Account Fees

6.1 Dormant Status: An account shall be classified as Dormant where there has been no login or transaction activity for a continuous period of twelve (12) months. C4Cu will make reasonable efforts to notify the Buyer by email prior to dormancy classification, but failure to receive or read such notification shall not affect the application of these provisions.

6.2 Reactivation Window (12–18 Months): Between twelve (12) months and eighteen (18) months of inactivity:

The Buyer may request reactivation of the account by contacting C4Cu and paying a fixed reactivation fee of USD 75 (seventy-five United States dollars), or local currency equivalent.
Reactivation is subject to completion of any required identity verification (KYC) and confirmation of account details.
Upon reactivation, the account shall be restored and the Buyer's allocated copper position shall be reinstated, subject to deduction of any fees lawfully due.

6.3 Account Closure & Forfeiture (18+ Months): Where an account remains inactive for a continuous period of eighteen (18) months:

The account shall be permanently closed without further notice.
All allocated copper associated with the account shall be irrevocably forfeited to C4Cu.
No compensation, payment, credit, or return of value shall be due to the Buyer.
This forfeiture is final and is not subject to appeal or reversal.

6.4 The dormancy provisions operate in conjunction with, and are without prejudice to, the corresponding provisions in the Website Terms & Conditions and the Master Agreement.

7. Other Charges

Duplicate statement or document requests: Where the Buyer requests duplicate copies of statements, trade confirmations, or other documentation, an administration fee of USD 25 (twenty-five United States dollars) per request may apply.
Expedited processing fees: Where the Buyer requests expedited processing of sell-back payments, delivery arrangements, or other administrative matters, C4Cu may charge an additional fee to reflect the cost of prioritised handling.
