This provision establishes that account access is held at Webull's discretion rather than as a contractual entitlement of the user, which has direct operational implications for users with active brokerage positions, pending transactions, or linked cash management accounts. For broker-dealer accounts, FINRA rules may impose procedural requirements that interact with the breadth of this discretionary termination assertion.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the unrestricted termination right may be constrained by FINRA member conduct rules applicable to Webull Financial LLC for regulated brokerage accounts; the degree to which these terms apply uniformly across all Webull entity relationships is not specified in this document.
Under this clause, a user's access to their Webull account, including any associated trading or cash management features, may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice or explanation.

"Proprietary rights for the account will be owned by Webull, and Webull reserves its right to reclaim the account and temporarily/permanently suspend the account at any time and in its absolute discretion. Users agree not to provide, transfer, or sell their account to any third-party for use. In case of any breach thereof, Webull, in its sole discretion, can terminate the registered account, and has the right to take all measures that it deems necessary to prevent the unauthorized use of transfer of the account.Excerpt from Webull's Customer Agreement
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates FINRA rules governing broker-dealer obligations to customers, including procedural requirements around account closure and customer notification. The SEC's oversight of Webull Financial LLC as a registered broker-dealer may interact with the breadth of the unilateral termination right asserted here. State consumer protection statutes in California and New York may also engage with account termination practices that lack notice or stated cause. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The assertion that Webull holds proprietary ownership of user accounts, combined with an unrestricted right to suspend or terminate without explanation, creates operational exposure for users with open positions or pending transactions. The absence of a notice requirement or procedural safeguard is operationally distinct from practices commonly required of FINRA member firms in the context of customer account administration. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California and New York present heightened exposure given active state-level consumer protection enforcement. FINRA arbitration rules (Rule 12200) may constrain how account termination disputes are resolved in practice, regardless of what this provision asserts. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional or business customers using Webull's platform should assess whether this termination provision is compatible with their own operational continuity requirements. The absence of a cure period or notice obligation may conflict with standard commercial expectations in B2B contexts. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Webull Financial LLC's FINRA membership obligations require customer notice procedures that supplement or modify this provision in the context of regulated brokerage accounts. A review of account agreement documentation specific to each regulated entity (Webull Financial LLC, Webull Futures LLC, Webull Advisors LLC) is warranted to determine whether more specific terms govern those relationships.
