2.4 All clients entering a contract, other than in a personal capacity, must identify on whose behalf they are purporting to act and the basis for their alleged contracting capacity. Failure to properly state the identity of the purchaser, will result in a contract being formed with the individual entering the contract, and not their alleged principal.
