All trades conducted by employees on behalf of their company are copied to the owner of the company or other designate. For example, all holding agents are copied by the CE on transactions involving their employees. The buyer of a physical object always pays the transport cost. The buyer may not necessarily be the recipient. All commodities used for trade are certified as accurately described and available for trade by appraisers or holding agents.
All trades conducted by holding agents are copied to their respective bonding agents.
Clients will be advised that both parties to an exchange must email their exchange messages within three days of each other, else the exchange will be terminated, and all participants will be accordingly notified. After that, the messages will be retained only until the CE message buffer overflows. This time varies according to disk capacity and transaction rate. Disk capacity will be increased or transaction processing responsibilities will be transferred to another CE to comply with the message retention requirement. Those concerned about retaining transaction records for longer periods are responsible for maintaining a directory of CE related email messages.
