The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. The price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.
02
Internet or any other electronic means are, due to unpredictable traffic congestion and other reasons, an inherently unreliable medium of communication and that such unreliability is beyond the control of Oriental Patron. As a result of such unreliability, there may be delays in the transmission and receipt of instructions or other information (e.g. canceling or changing your original instructions), delays in execution or execution of your instructions at prices different from those prevailing at the time your instructions were given, transmission interruption or break down and/or for some reason Oriental Patron may not be able to act on your instructions at all. If you subsequently give instructions canceling or changing your original instructions, Oriental Patron will not accept them if it has already acted on your original instruction or there is insufficient time to act on your subsequent instruction. You should therefore give instructions in good time before the closes of the market.
03
Information and data provided through the electronic trading services relating to securities and the securities markets has been obtained from securities exchanges and markets and from other third party service providers.
