Selling Broker Dealer -- A person registered as a broker-dealer and licensed as a life insurance agent or affiliated with a person so licensed, and authorized to distribute the Contracts pursuant to a sales agreement as provided for in Section 4 of this Agreement.
INTRODUCING BROKERS 18.1 The Client may have been referred to Tickmill Ltd by an Introducing Broker. If so, Tickmill Ltd shall not be responsible for any agreement made between the Client and the Client's Introducing Broker. The Client acknowledges that any such Introducing Broker will either be acting as an independent intermediary or an Agent for the Client and that no such Introducing Broker shall be authorised to make any representations concerning Tickmill Ltd or Tickmill Ltd’s Services.
18.2 The Client is specifically made aware that the Client's agreement with its Introducing Broker may result in additional costs as Tickmill Ltd may pay fees or commission to such person.
18.3 The Client is also specifically made aware that the Client's agreement with its Introducing Broker may result in additional costs for the client because the Introducing Broker can deduct commissions and fees as well as price or interest/financing rate adjustments for any trade conducted on or allocated to the Clients account either by the Introducing Broker or the Client.
18.4 If the Introducing Broker undertakes any deductions from the Client's Trading Account according to any agreement between the Client and the Introducing Broker, Tickmill Ltd has no responsibility as to the existence or validity of such an agreement.
18.5 Tickmill Ltd shall have no responsibility or liability to the Client in following the instructions given by the Introducing Broker. Tickmill Ltd is under no obligation to supervise or otherwise know or review the payment instructions or any other acts, including but not limited to the trading, of the Introducing Broker.
18.6 The client acknowledges and accepts that frequent transactions may result in a sum total of commissions, fees, price or interest/financing rate adjustments for trades conducted that may be substantial and not necessarily be offset by the net profits, if any, achieved from the relevant trades. The responsibility for correctly assessing whether the size of the total commissions, fees, price or interest/financing rate adjustments for trades conducted paid from the Client's account makes trading commercially viable, is the combined responsibility of the Client and the Introducing Broker. Tickmill Ltd only acts as the custodian and principal broker, and therefore is not responsible for the size of the commissions and fees as well as price or interest rate paid by the Client.
18.7 Any commissions, fees, price or interest/financing rate adjustments for trades conducted may be shared between the Introducing Broker, Tickmill Ltd and third parties according to the Introducing Broker's written instructions and/or at Tickmill Ltd’s discretion.

Broker-Dealer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PEPCO and the Insurer against any loss, injury or damage resulting from any telephone exchange instruction containing unauthorized, incorrect or incomplete information received from Broker-Dealer or any of its registered representatives.
