Systems Disclaimer

CIBC Investor Services endeavors to offer customers an electronic trading platform that is easy to use, reliable and secure. From time to time, however, interruptions, errors or other problems in service may occur. This may be due to a variety of factors, some of which are outside the control of CIBC and CIBC Investor Services, including interruptions in the accessibility of the Internet, a system outage in facilities of a third party service provider (examples include stock exchanges, Information Providers and technology vendors), and market conditions that may result in general market volatility or heavy demand and high volumes of trading activity.

Each of these factors can contribute to delays or system outages where customers may experience difficulties in accessing their accounts and in placing and canceling trading instructions online. Customers should familiarize themselves with the different methods offered by CIBC Investor Services to access their account and the brokerage services - the Investor Services Call Centre, the IVR services and the Online services. If you should experience any problems in accessing your account or the brokerage services through any one of the above methods, we encourage you to use an alternate method.

The CIBC Investor Services Electronic Access Agreement outlines the terms and conditions and the limit of CIBC Investor Services' liability in connection with your use of the electronic trading platform. You should familiarize yourself with this Agreement when you register for online trading.
