Systems Disclaimer

MF Global and its affiliates endeavor to offer customers an electronic trading service that is easy to use, reliable, secure, and capable of meeting its customers' trading and investment needs. From time to time, however, interruptions, errors or other deficiencies in service may occur. This may be due to a variety of factors, some of which are outside the control of MF Global and its affiliates, including interruptions in the accessibility of the Internet, a system outage in facilities of a third-party service provider (including stock exchanges, data providers, and back office service providers), and market conditions that may result in general market volatility, volatility affecting a particular security or class of securities, or heavy demand and high volumes of trading activity.

 

Each of these factors can contribute to delays or errors in service or system outages. Customers may experience difficulties in accessing their accounts and in placing and canceling orders. Trade executions may suffer as a result.

 

Your use of electronic, online, and touch-tone telephone services, software, systems and facilities made available by MF Global or its affiliates are subject to the following terms and conditions:

i) Systems are not guaranteed: Neither MF Global nor its affiliates nor any third-party owner, licensor or supplier of equipment, software, systems, services or facilities used or made available in connection with a service offered by MF Global or its affiliates (the "Systems") is liable for any representation, warranty or condition, whether express or implied, concerning the Systems or the use thereof, including, without limitation, that the Systems will meet your needs or that the Systems will be available for use at any particular time or for any particular time or for any particular purpose or will operate error free. Without limiting the foregoing, all express or implied, direct or indirect, representations, warranties and conditions in respect of the Systems arising or implied by statute, common law, custom, usage of trade, course or performance, course of dealing or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any warranties on conditions of merchantable quality and fitness for a particular purpose are expressly excluded;

ii) Limit on Liability: The user of the Systems agrees that MF Global and its affiliates will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from use of the Systems, including but not limited to loss, claim or damage resulting either directly or indirectly from failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communications lines, the Internet, telephone or other inter-connect problems, power failure, or third-party system failure.

 

Warning Regarding Volatile Markets

In times of market volatility and high trading volumes, including both at market opening and during the trading day, and including situations of high volume trading of so-called "hot stocks", customers of brokerage services may experience delays in the execution of their orders for securities. A delay in the processing of a market order placed through an on-line brokerage service during a period of market volatility or high trading volume may expose the customer to the risk of trade execution at a market price that is significantly different from the market price of the security at the time the order was placed. Once an order is placed, it may be difficult or impossible to cancel the order before the order is executed.

 

In those circumstances, MF Global and its affiliates bear no responsibility to the customer for the discrepancy between the market price of the security at the time of order placement and the market price of the security at the time of trade execution.

 

To minimize the risk in this situation, customers should consider the advisability of placing limit orders in lieu of market orders, limiting the price at which the customer's order will be filled. If you place a market order, the broker is required to execute the market order at the earliest opportunity without regard to price at the time of execution. Limit orders, on the other hand, will be executed only at a specified (limit) price or better. While the market for the security may be such that the customer's limit order does not get filled in whole or in part, this outcome may be considered more desirable than the risk of a fill at an undesirable price.
