English term

subject to any indebtedness - Satzverständnis

Non-PRO English to German Bus/Financial Investment / Securities
"Without abrogating any of the Brokers‘s rights under any other portion of this Agreement and ***subject to any indebtedness *** of the Customer to the Broker, the Customer is entitled, upon appropriate demand, to receive physical delivery of fully paid securities in the Customer’s account."

A standard clause in a customer agreement between an investment fund and its clients.

To me "subject to" reads as if indebtedness was a requirement for a customer's right to receive physical delivery.
But shouldn't it be the other way round? Only if the customer was not indebted to the broker, the customer could receive delivery?

Thank you for your help.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Das hört sich für mich so an, als wären die Schulden eine Voraussetzung, oder sehe ich da etwas falsch?
