TradeStation Securities Account Agreement

I am thinking about signing up for TS 8.3 as I now only use TS 2K. I have just read TradStation’s agreements for an account and they are scary! There are numerous references to holding TS harmless and indemnifying them against any claim, damages, loss, liability ... caused by..you.. See page 7( 11). in their Tradestation Technologies Subscription Agreement.


In the “Online Transfer Authorization Agreement” , page 8(g) “you appoint Tradestation Securities with full power as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact... for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in this agreement ..” and the same language on page 12(34).

Or how about page 15(41). TS ..”may use your name, address, social security number, date of birth, home telephone number and/or other biographical or personal information about you ...for any valid or legitimate business purpose. ... You further agree to provide Tradestation securities, on request, with such additional information ...as may be required by Tradestation securities ....”

Is this boiler plate legalese or should one be concerned about the one-sidedness of this language?
