Standard Chartered Online Trading Terms

This is an important document.

Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference.

The Online Trading Service is an information, trading and settlement service. These Terms contain important information regarding the terms and conditions which will apply to your dealings with Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited (“SCBSL”) in relation to that service. You should read this document carefully and keep it for future reference. The Service Provider and other relevant parties may have their own set of terms and conditions in relation to the Online Trading Service and neither Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited nor its affiliates are a party to those terms and conditions. Any such terms and conditions are additional to the terms that may be set out in relation to that Service Provider in the schedule to these Terms.

Certain risks relating to Online Trading are described in Part D of this document. This document does not disclose or discuss all of the risks, or other significant aspects, of conducting transactions or of the transactions conducted. You should not construe these or any other statements as legal, tax or financial advice.

Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited is not acting as your financial advisor and you must not regard it as acting in that capacity. You should consult your own independent legal, tax and financial advisors before entering into any transaction and only enter into a transaction if you have fully understood its nature, the contractual relationship into which you are entering, all relevant terms and conditions and the nature and extent of your exposure to loss.

If you have any questions about the Online Trading Service, or in the event of any service difficulties or interruptions, please contact our 24-hour (Monday to Friday) Online Trading Service Line at 1800 242 5333 (+65 6242 5333 from overseas) for assistance.

Any such limits imposed by us are solely for our protection and we will have no responsibility for monitoring or ensuring your compliance with any limits imposed on your trading activities by you or by applicable law. You agree that you will not take any actions that will cause you to violate any limits imposed by us on your trading activities for example, placing an order for Securities through another broker, to be cleared through us, if that order would result in the violation of any such limits.

the relationship between you and us;

the Online Trading Service to be provided under these Terms; nor any other matter,

gives rise to any fiduciary or equitable duties on our part in your favour. In particular, there are no duties that would oblige us to accept responsibilities more extensive than those set out in these Terms or which would prevent or hinder us in carrying out any of the activities contemplated by these Terms. You are responsible for all investment decisions.

9.6 Circumstances may arise in which we, another member of our group or one of our respective officers, employees or agents has a material interest in a Transaction or where a conflict of interest arises between your interests and those of other clients, counterparties or us. However, if we act in circumstances where we have a material interest or conflict of interest, we will take reasonable steps to ensure you are treated fairly.

we believe that your Instructions are unclear, ambiguous or incomplete;

    (b)   cancel or reverse any Instruction or Transaction without contacting you where the relevant stock exchange has recommended or required a cancellation or reversal for market integrity reasons, where the market was operating under an error or where the cancellation or reversal is permitted under the relevant market rules for that exchange; and

(d)

 

We and/or the Service Provider may use such authentication technologies as we deem appropriate. No authentication, verification or computer security technology is completely secure or safe. You agree to bear all risks of unauthorised access/use, hacking or identity theft.

The internet or other electronic media (including without limitation electronic devices, services of third party telecom service providers such as mobile phones or other handheld trading devices or interactive voice response systems) are an inherently unreliable form of communication, and such unreliability may be beyond our control.

Any information (including any document) transmitted, or communication or transactions made, over the internet or through other electronic media (including electronic devices, services of third party telecom service providers such as mobile phones or other handheld trading devices or interactive voice response systems) may be subject to interruption, transmission blackout, delayed transmission due to data volume, internet traffic, market volatility or incorrect data transmission (including incorrect price quotation) or stoppage of price data feed due to the public nature of the internet or other electronic media.

As a result of such unreliability:

   

 

 

(i)


(ii)


(iii)

 

there may be time-lags, delays, failures or loss of data or loss of confidentiality in the transmission of data and receipt of Instructions;

while we may believe certain data to be reliable, there may be no independent basis for us to verify or contradict the accuracy or completeness of such data; and

Instructions may be executed at prices different from those prevailing at the time the Instructions were given.

  You understand that this is not an exhaustive list of all the consequences arising from such unreliability and you agree that you cannot infer any recommendation or endorsement from any data provided on the Online Trading Service.

14.2 You are solely responsible for preventing anything which may be harmful to any equipment that you use in connection with the Online Trading Service (including any computer virus, malicious program or harmful component) from affecting any such equipment, regardless of whether it originated from the Online Trading Service or any other product or service provided by us or our affiliates


15

Risks relating to authorised persons

 

There are substantial risks in allowing another person to trade or operate your Securities Settlement Account or any other accounts you have with us, and it is possible that Instructions could be given by persons who are not properly authorised. You accept all of the risks of such an operation and irrevocably release us from all liabilities arising out of or in connection with such Instructions, whether taken by us or otherwise.


16

Risk of changes that could affect your position

16.1

Changes in prices, rates of exchange, fees, charges and other factors may impact upon your Transactions. We are entitled to act upon your Instructions and you cannot assume that we will warn you if your Instructions are ill-timed or inadvisable for any reason or if the Instructions are likely to cause you loss.

16.2 Before you give any Instruction, you should ensure you understand the financial aspects of the proposed Transaction and obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These matters can reduce your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.
