I think we have enough uncertainty to deal with on enforceability issues that anything we can do to create a stronger legal (or equitable) position is worth it. >>> "Mark - ECT Legal Taylor" 09/28 5:59 PM >>> My analysis is that forcing the scroll through the entire agreement provides additional comfort that the counterparty has actually looked at the agreement and knows to what they are agreeing - it is that much more likely that the contract will be enforceable. It is certainly not necessary from my point of view that the document take up the entire page rather than appearing in a smaller window with a scroll bar down the side - in fact I think that looks much better. It would be acceptable from a legal point of view if the "agree" button appeared as in the example below as long as it didn't work until the agreement had been scrolled through. I personally think that would create more problems from a commercial point of view since many counterparties will try to click on "agree" as soon as it appears without reading the agreement and get frustrated when it doesn't work right away. David - do you agree?

Awais Omar 28/09/99 21:50 To: Louise Kitchen/LON/ECT@ECT, Mark - ECT Legal Taylor/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Legal Agreement Louise, Below is an example of where a legal agreement which you are required to accept, where the "Accept" & "Decline" buttons are below the actual agreement and not within the agreement. The agreement itself is within a separate frame above the buttons. A line of instructional line of copy is given at the top telling users to read the agreement by paging down and then to click on accept to continue. A similar set up would be suitable for the GTC's as these can vary in length between products and would allow us to control the size of the window which should not cover up the whole quotes screen. Let me know what you think.
