TI is not a party tou00a0transactions between Clients, does not take title to merchandise or services exchanged in such transactions and shall not be held responsible by Client for such transactions. Client, therefore,u00a0releases TI from any and all liability related to or arising from Clientu2019s transactions with other clients. Client understands and agrees that all transactions are entered into on a voluntary basisu00a0between Clients. TI provides referrals to its clients but does not assume liability for the quality, timely delivery, warranty or dispute of any nature between clients with regard to any productu00a0or service being traded.

The term u201cu201dTrade Dollaru201d is used as an administrative convenience and in no way implies the legal tender of theu00a0United States, Canada, or any other nation or jurisdiction. Accordingly, u201cTrade Creditu201d reflects any or all Trade Dollars in a account of a Client. Neither Trade Dollars nor Trade Credit may beu00a0considered legal tender, security or commodity, and cannot be redeemed for cash through TI or transferred to any other barter company or trade organization.

Failure of Client to makeu00a0prompt payment for two (2) consecutive months, in accordance with the requirements of their discounted brokerage fee option, will result in advancement of the current brokerage feeu00a0option to the next highest brokerage fee option rate. Client may reapply for discounted brokerage fee option after one (1) year of timely payment history.
