RISKS OF ONLINE TRADING
Your access to the Online Service, or any portion thereof, may be restricted or unavailable during periods of peak demands, extreme market volatility, systems upgrades or other reasons. CMS Prime make no express or implied representations or warranties to you regarding the usability, condition or operation thereof. We do not warrant that access to or use of the Online Service will be uninterrupted or error free or that the Online Service will meet any particular criteria of performance or quality. Under no circumstances including negligence, shall CMS Prime or anyone else involved in creating, producing, delivering or managing the Online Service be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that result from the use of or inability to use the Online Service, or out of any breech of any warranty, including, without limitation, those for business interruption or loss of profits. You expressly agree that your use of the Online Service is of your sole risk, you assume full responsibility and risk of loss resulting from use of, or materials obtained through, the Online Service, neither CMS Prime nor any of CMS Prime’s directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, third party vendors, facilities, information providers, licensors, exchanges, clearing organizations or other suppliers providing data, information, or services, warrant that the Online Service will be uninterrupted or error free; nor does CMS Prime make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Online Service or as to the timeliness, sequence, accuracy, completeness, reliability or content of any information, service, or transaction provided through the Online service.

MARKET DATA AND INFORMATION
Neither CMS Prime nor any provider shall be liable in any way to you or to any other person for:  Any inaccuracy, error or delay in, or omission of any such data, information or message or the transmission or delivery of any such data, information or message; or b) Any loss or damage arising from or occasioned by any such inaccuracy, error, delay, omission, non-performance, interruption in any such data, information or message, due to either to any negligent act or omission or to any condition of force majeure or any other cause, whether or not within CMS Prime’s or any provider’s control. CMS Prime shall not be deemed to have received any order or communication transmitted electronically by you until CMS Prime has actual knowledge of such order or communication.

OVER-THE-COUNTER TRADING
Customer understands that Over-the-counter (“OTC”) products are not traded on exchanges as there is no central clearing mechanism to guarantee OTC trades. CMS Prime may apply its own risk analysis in deciding whether to participate in a particular market where its credit must stand behind each trade. Depending on the policies adopted by CMS Prime as counter-party, the company may decline to execute an order placed by a customer. CMS Prime will rely on their own knowledge of market prices in agreeing to an execution price. The execution price obtained for a customer to a large extent will reflect the true market price of a particular currency. While the OTC market as a whole is highly liquid, certain products are less frequently traded and for this reason, CMS Prime may take longer to fill an order or may obtain an execution price that differs widely from the market.

REPRESENTATIONS
You acknowledge that from time to time, and for any reason, the Online Service may not be operational or otherwise unavailable for your use due to servicing, hardware malfunction, software defect, service or transmission interruption or other cause, and you agree to hold CMS Prime and any provider harmless from liability of any damage which results from the unavailability of the Online Service. You acknowledge that you have alternative arrangements, which will remain in place for the transmission and execution of your orders, in the event, for any reason, circumstances prevent the transmission and execution of all, or any portion of, your orders through the Online Service. You represent and warrant that you are fully authorized to enter into this Agreement and under no legal disability which prevent you from trading, and that you shall remain in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to your business. You agree that you are familiar with and will abide by any rules or procedures adopted by CMS Prime and any provider in connection with use of the Online Service and you have provided necessary training in its use. You shall not (and shall not permit any third party) copy, use, analyze, modify, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, translate or convert any software provided to you in connection with use of the Online Service or distribute the software or the Online Service to any other third party.
