C. QuoteMedia's Role in Online Trading
QuoteMedia is not a brokerage or a clearing agent. QuoteMedia does not (1) act as a principal in securities, options, or mutual fund transactions or make a market in any security, equity or mutual fund; (2) solicit orders; (3) make discretionary investments on your behalf; (4) provide internally generated research or advice regarding securities; (5) determine suitability as to the type and/or frequency of transactions in your account(s); or (6) provide you with investment recommendations or investment, tax or legal advice. If you are authorized to engage in online trading through the Service, QuoteMedia does not take or process your order to buy or sell. Instead, when you indicate that you wish to trade in a security, QuoteMedia links you to your brokerage's trading platform ("BTP"). We advise the BTP which security you wish to trade by providing the relevant symbol. The BTP takes your order and, when you execute a trade, it is based on the current market data or values provided by the BTP at the time of the trade. Any trade you execute through the BTP will be governed by the terms and conditions of any agreement you make with your brokerage relating to online trading.
