a. The
Enrollment Service is not responsible for the quality of your
choice of investments, nor is it responsible for the operations
of the company or its direct investment plan. The Enrollment
Service acts as Riskless Principal to execute your orders.
Although
the situation does not arise often, a company may file for bankruptcy
and/or discontinue its plan after the shares you ordered were
purchased. Under those circumstances, you will be charged the
amount that was paid for the stock on your behalf and a certificate
for the shares will be sent to you. However, if your order can
not be executed for any reason, you will be sent a full refund.
To reduce the chance of plan
closures, we do not accept orders for shares that sell for
less than $5.
b. The Securities and
Exchange Commission requires that all broker-dealers advise customers
of the broker's practice with respect to payment for order flow.
Payment for order flow includes any monetary payment, service,
property, or other benefit that results in remuneration, compensation,
or consideration to a broker-dealer from a broker-dealer. Temper
does not receive any payment for order flow.
