Standard Chartered Online Trading Terms

IMPT Notes:
With effect from 1 October 2016, we are renaming our “Online Equities Trading” platform to “Online Trading” platform. Accordingly, the “Standard Chartered Online Equities Trading Terms” will be renamed as the “Standard Chartered Online Trading Terms”. Please be assured that there is no change to the type of products or service offered in the platform.

This is an important document.

Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference.

The Securities 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 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 Securities 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 Securities Trading Service, or in the event of any service difficulties or interruptions, please contact our Contact Centre on 1800 242 5333.

we may, in our absolute discretion and without any obligation to do so, set off such debit balance or the increase in the debit balance (as the case may be) on the Securities Settlement Account against any credit balance or balances which you may have in any other bank accounts with us without further instruction or sanction from you.

Part C - Transactions and Instructions

9

Entering into a Transaction

9.1 To enter into a Transaction, you must follow all the steps identified on Online Trading Service as necessary for the execution of that Transaction.

9.2 A Transaction will be binding upon the completion of each of those steps, subject to our rights under clauses 9.3 and 10. All such Transactions are subject to these Terms and any other agreement between you and us that applies to such Transactions. The terms of any Transaction, as well as the provisions of and performance under any agreement arising under or in connection with that Transaction, will be your sole responsibility.

9.3 We may from time to time implement a number of electronic filters through the Online Trading Service for the purpose of implementing credit limits, position limits or other limits on your trading activities. As a result, you understand and acknowledge that you may be prevented from entering into Transactions at certain times if such actions would cause an applicable filter to reject an Instruction submitted by you. 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.

9.4 By offering the Online Trading Service, we are not acting as a principal, nor as an executing, clearing and/or prime broker with respect to any Transaction.

9.5 You acknowledge that neither:
 

 

(a)

(b)

(c)

 

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 may, in our absolute discretion, without giving any reason or notice and without incurring any liability of any nature to you, decline to act for you in such circumstances.

10

Your Instructions

10.1 Any Instructions given by you or your authorised representative(s) are irrevocable and are at your own risk. You acknowledge and agree that once given, an Instruction cannot be revoked and if acted on by us, the Instruction will be binding on you.

the Securities are the subject of a trading halt and the order has not been reconfirmed;

the relevant stock exchange has purged the order from the relevant trading system;

we believe that the transaction would result in no change of beneficial ownership;

we believe that the transaction would have the effect, or is likely to have the effect of creating a false or misleading appearance of active trading in any securities or with respect to the market for, or the price of, any securities, or could otherwise result in a finding of market misconduct in any jurisdiction; or

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

    (c)   where you or an authorised person appears to be a Proscribed Person, refuse to process or complete any Instruction or Transaction, suspend the provision of a product or service to you, refuse to allow or to facilitate any of your assets held by us to be used or dealt with, refuse to make any asset available to you or to any other Proscribed Person or entity or terminate these arrangements with you. These rights are in addition to all other rights we may have.

10.3 If we exercise our rights under clause 10.2(c), you must pay us on demand any damages, losses, costs or expenses that we incur in relation to any action taken under that clause or applicable law, including administrative costs, professional fees and/or costs of sale or purchase of any transaction or deal put in place for the purposes of meeting our obligations under these Terms.

10.4 Subject to our discretion to reject any Instruction, all Instructions given via the Online Trading Service will only be valid and effective if actually received by us within the Trading Hours on a Trading Day. However, we do not guarantee that any of your Instructions will be processed even though they may have been received.

10.5 We will use our reasonable endeavours to execute your Instructions, but we will not guarantee that your Instructions will be wholly or partially executed or will be executed by a certain time. We will not be responsible for any delays due to market factors, our own verification or authorisation processes or any other reason whatsoever, nor for executing a Transaction before processing any cancellation or amendment that you may send to us.

10.6 You authorise us to accept Instructions on your behalf from your authorised representative(s) and you confirm that your authorised representative(s) has/have the power to do the following in your name and on your behalf from time to time to:

give Instructions on your behalf; and

access and use the Online Trading Service.

We are not obliged to enquire into any of these matters and you authorise us to act upon any Instructions that we believe to be authentic and valid.

10.8

If more than one person constitutes our client for the purpose of any Transaction, they are jointly and severally bound by these Terms and any other relevant terms and conditions and we are entitled to act upon the Instructions of any one of those persons.

 

10.9 If, in our absolute opinion, we believe there is a dispute between us about an order or Instruction you have given us (such as the number of Securities you have asked us to buy or the bid price), we may take any action which we consider, in our absolute discretion, necessary to close any open position that is the subject of the dispute (for example, selling the relevant Securities), without any prior notice to you.

you direct us to buy back or sell on your behalf any of the Securities that are the subject of the Transaction;

(b)

 

provide you with access to a standing facility through which you can obtain or view an electronic version of a Confirmation (either together with or instead of a Confirmation issued to your email address); and

issue a hard copy (paper-based) Confirmation to your postal address rather than or in addition to an electronic Confirmation.

12.3 If you do not wish to receive electronic Confirmations at your email address or use the standing facility, you must notify us either in writing or through a facility provided by us.

12.4 We may issue a further Confirmation if any previous one contained any errors or omissions, in which case, that further Confirmation will supersede any previous one in all respects (unless it states otherwise).

13.3 You must read the risk factors contained in these Terms in conjunction with any other risks factors that we may advise from time to time. You should also seek appropriate and independent advice and conduct an independent analysis regarding any proposed Transaction.

14

Risks relating to the use of the internet or other electronic medium

14.1 Any communication or transaction via or information (including any document) transmitted via the internet or other electronic medium involves risks and by accessing the Online Trading Service, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the following risks:

 

 

(a)



(b)



(c)






(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.
