The following terms of business (Terms) apply to all Services provided by us to you and any of your related entities. By agreeing to proceed with our engagement, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
We may provide you with the following Services during the course of our relationship:
We can agree changes to our Services by describing the new Services to be provided in any future Consent to Renew an Ongoing Fee Arrangement (Consent to Renew) that you sign. We can also agree changes to Services at any time if we both agree.
Our Services are provided solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person.
If we provide you with General Advice, you agree that:
If we provide ‘execution-only' type services, these are provided on a 'no advice' basis. You are responsible for determining that any investment decision you make is appropriate to your investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs. We are not responsible for any ‘execution-only’ investment decisions and you will be fully responsible for your ‘execution-only’ instructions.
In order for us to provide the Services, we will require you to complete and sign documents from time to time. If you don’t, we may not be able to continue to provide the Services.
We also need to ensure that the information we have about you is up to date and accurate. Please notify us promptly if any information you have provided us is, or becomes, untrue, incomplete or inaccurate.
We will rely on the accuracy of all information provided by you, or by others on your behalf, without independently verifying all information so please let us know as soon as there is any change to the information you have provided. We will also rely on instructions provided by you, or any instructions which we reasonably believe to be provided by you.
From time to time we will also need you to complete and sign documents. We will need you to do so promptly, within the timeframe we request, so as to not delay our Services.
Any delay in providing information or documents we have requested may result in us not being able to provide the Services to you or to arrange for others to provide Services to you, or may impact the timing of our Services.
All working papers and other documents produced by us as part of providing the Services will remain our property. Any documentation that we produce for you or information we collect from you will be kept by us for a period of seven (7) years after which it will be destroyed.
You can request a copy of any documentation that we have produced at any time.
If we are providing Services to you jointly, we accept instructions both jointly and separately from you unless you tell us that all instructions must be given jointly.
If you die or become incapacitated whilst you are our client, you authorise your legal personal representative or enduring power of attorney to ratify any actions we take between the date of your death or incapacitation and the date we receive evidence to our satisfaction of your death or incapacitation.
If you satisfy the tests for being classified as a Wholesale Client under the Corporations Act, in consultation with you we may decide to treat you as a Wholesale Client.
Where we provide ‘execution-only’ type services, these services are provided on a ‘no advice’ basis. You are responsible for determining that any investment decision you make is appropriate to your investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs.
You agree to pay us the fees and charges described in our Engagement Letter, Consent to enter into an OFA or in any other document in which we agree our fees and charges on the due dates set out in those documents.
These fees only include amounts payable to us.
There may also be costs from investment managers or administration platforms. These include transactions costs such as share brokerage. Any costs will always be disclosed in our advice to you. Additionally, any once off transaction costs will always be disclosed when relevant to our recommendations.
We can vary our fees by describing the new fee in a Consent to Renew that you sign. We can also agree changes to fees at any time if we both agree.
If you don’t pay amounts due on time, we can charge you an additional amount for our Services equal to interest on the unpaid balances at a rate of 2% above the Westpac Banking Corporation’s indicator 180-day bank bill rate.
All of your payment under these Terms are absolute, free of any right by you to counterclaim or set off and are only satisfied once the payment has cleared.
If you fail to meet any settlement obligations which you have instructed us to incur, for which we have incurred liability on your behalf, you agree that we may sell on your behalf any of your Investments and apply the proceeds to reduce your liability to us or to a third party to whom you own an obligation in connection with the Services.
We may:
You may appoint one or more people as Authorised Persons to receive information about your financial affairs, or give us instructions on your behalf.
Where you appoint an Authorised Person:
without checking the authority of that Authorised Person to give such instructions or to request such information.
You can revoke an Authorised Person’s authority by telling us in writing.
Except as provided for in these Terms and our Privacy Policy, we will keep all personal information provided by you including information concerning your financial affairs or Investments confidential.
Your personal information may be collected, stored, used or disclosed by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is available at https://boyceca.com/privacy-policy/. or you may request a copy by sending an email to [email protected].
By agreeing to these Terms, you consent to the collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
By signing these Terms, you appoint us and each of our employees, officers, and authorised representatives separately as your attorney to:
Any power granted to us under this clause is only to be exercised in connection with the performance of the Services and the administration and management of your Investments in accordance with your instructions.
You acknowledge that anything done on your behalf within the authority of this clause will be treated as if you have done it personally.
You can revoke this authority at any time by telling us in writing.
We will not be responsible for any Loss incurred as a result of any delay or omission in the exercise of the authority under this clause, except where the Loss is caused by our fraud, negligence or dishonesty.
To the extent permitted by law and except where caused by our negligence, fraud or dishonesty, we will not be responsible for any Loss incurred by you as a result of:
You acknowledge that your Investments are subject to risks of loss because of market, currency, economic, political, business and other events. We do not promise, represent, or guarantee that our advice to you, or the provision of the Services by us or a Service Provider, will achieve a particular rate of return for your Investments.
Where you are a Retail Client, we are required by law to ask you to renew any ongoing fee arrangement we have with you each year which we will do by giving you a Consent to Renew.
For the purposes of determining the timeframe for renewing any ongoing fee arrangement each year, the reference day will be the date specified as the reference day in the Consent to enter into an OFA. This means that we will need to obtain your completed Consent to Renew (and renewed consent to deduct fees where applicable), within the period starting 60 days before the reference day and ending 150 days after the reference day. We can vary the reference day for future periods in the Consent to Renew.
Our engagement can be stopped by giving written notice, without impacting our ability to recover all accrued Fees which are due and payable in respect of the period up to and including the termination date.
We may give you documents (including all disclosure documents we are required to give you) electronically, including via hyperlinks or USBs. If at any stage you wish to receive these documents in hard copy rather than electronically please let us know. We may also ask you to sign documents, including the Consent to enter into an OFA, electronically. You can let us know if you do not want to sign documents in this way.
Except where we need to change these Terms to correct any obvious error or to reflect any change in law, we may change these Terms from time to time by making the updated Terms available on our website and notifying you by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
The changes will only apply to you if you continue to use our Services after the changes take effect. If you do not agree to the changes, you may terminate our engagement or negotiate new terms.
