Here is the response for an Email I sent over the weekend. Essentially, I'd asked for a different Agreement or the option not to receive NASDAQ RTQ. Thank you for your message. This agreement was a requirement recently placed on TD Waterhouse by the NASDAQ in order to continue to provide our clients with real time quotes. We ask that you read the agreement and check the appropriate boxes. Should you not feel comfortable agreeing to the terms you will not get access to WebBroker. Unfortunately WebBroker cannot distinguish between clients who trade on NASDAQ and those who do not. Therefore TD Waterhouse cannot provide limited access to those clients who do not wish to agree to the NASDAQ’s terms and conditions and only wish to trade on the NYSE, TSE, American Exchange or CDNX. We are sorry for any inconvenience this procedure may have caused you. By asking its clients to accept these agreements TD Waterhouse is only acting as an intermediary between the exchange and its clients. Yours Sincerely, Electronic Brokerage Services Help Desk TD Waterhouse Investor Services (Canada) Inc. At first I thought Wrong Answer, then thought about it. I don't believe Contracts or Agreements signed under duress are enforcable. Still going to be a big PR problem for TDWater House. Take Care Al
