Wrap Platform 2/20

About these Terms and Conditions Words which are in bold type in these terms have a specific meaning, which is set out in the Glossary in Annex 1.

You must sign these terms in order to gain access to the wrap platform and the services. The wrap platform offers financial advisers and discretionary investment managers, and their clients and investment services firms access to products and services provided by us and other companies.

These terms form the basis of your contractual relationship with us in connection with your use of the wrap platform and the services. In addition, you and/or individual users within your organisation may have agreed or may be asked by us to agree to certain other terms and conditions (in paper or electronic form) concerning your relationship with us and your use of the wrap platform and the services. This includes, but is not limited to, the Intermediary Terms of Business (which the intermediary will already have accepted) and any commission documents, adviser charge documents or illustrations which we have provided you with.

Any such other terms and conditions will apply in conjunction with these terms to govern your relationship with us and your use of the wrap platform and the services. Where there is an inconsistency between these terms and any other set of terms and conditions, these terms will take precedence in relation to your use of the wrap platform and the services.

We are authorised and regulated by the FCA.

These terms should be signed where indicated at the end of these terms by you or on your behalf by a person with authority to do so. Such signature will be taken as agreement by you that you will be bound by these terms.

These terms are for financial advisers and discretionary investment managers only and should not be passed on to customers. You should print off and retain a copy of these terms for reference purposes.

Sections 4.19, 11.11 and 11.12 of these terms will only apply to you if you are a member of a support services company or investment services company. If your relationship with your support services company or investment services company comes to an end for any reason and you wish to continue to use the wrap platform and the services, we may continue to provide you with access to the wrap platform and the services and our relationship with you will then be governed by these terms excluding sections 4.19, 11.11 and 11.12.

Where any such document is to be returned to us, you shall return it to us as soon as reasonably possible after it is completed by your client.

Wrap Platform 6/20

5.9 You act on behalf of and as agent for your clients, and will always act in accordance with and subject to the client terms, including regarding all dealing and settlement transactions. We will presume that you act on behalf of and as agent for your clients (including for the purposes of passing dealing instructions to us) unless and until we are advised in writing otherwise. You will ensure that all necessary documentation and/or forms are completed to establish and carry out transactions for your clients. Although we are aware that you are acting as agent for your clients in your use of the services, you agree that we will treat your client as our client in respect of that business for the purposes of the Conduct of Business Sourcebook, rule 2.4.3, of the FCA Rules.

5.10 You will act promptly and strictly in accordance with the instructions you receive from, and with the full authority of, your clients. You are responsible for ensuring that such instructions and authority are relevant, appropriate and authorise you to transact on behalf of your clients, as you do, for each and every transaction you carry out. You must at all times comply with your obligations under the FCA rules and any relevant rules and regulations in relation to such instructions.

5.11 You must notify us immediately if you become aware that any dealing instruction or transaction is not recognised or is, or may be, incorrect.

5.12 You are responsible for the following:

a) determining and agreeing the level of access to the wrap platform and the services granted by us to your clients;

b) providing us or the relevant wrap product provider with evidence, as requested at any time, which confirms that the client to whom you have recommended the wrap products and/or investments are compatible with the defined target market, as communicated to you;

c) ensuring (and evidencing on request) that any wrap products and/or investments you recommend to your clients are suitable and continue to be suitable for your clients’ circumstances. Where you are submitting an instruction on behalf of your client on an informed choice or execution-only basis, you are solely responsible for assessing (and evidencing on request) that the investment and/or wrap product is appropriate for and in the best interests of your clientclientclientclient;

d) where we choose to make our separate investment management functionality available, and any of your clients you recommend to, or who choose to, have assets managed on the wrap platform by you or a discretionary investment manager using this functionality, for example within managed portfolios managed by you or a discretionary investment manager, ensuring that:

(i) where you are managing your clients’ investments using our separate investment management functionality, you have the relevant regulatory permissions and meet the relevant regulatory requirements, you enter into and maintain an appropriate agreement with each client and relevant wrap product provider and that you enter into the investment management hub terms and conditions; and

(ii) where you arrange for your clients’ investments to be managed by a discretionary investment manager using our separate investment management functionality, you (1) carry out appropriate due diligence in respect of any discretionary investment manager who will manage your clients’ investments to ensure they are fit and proper and hold all necessary FCA authorisations and (2) you enter into and maintain an appropriate agreement with the discretionary investment manager; and

(iii) you fully disclose and explain to your clients the terms of any investment management arrangements or investment outsourcing arrangements you enter into in respect of your clients’ investments;

prior to the commencement of these arrangements; and

e) where we choose to make our separate investment management functionality available to you or an investment services firm you contract with, in order to allow you or such investment service firm to create, edit and rebalance advised portfolios, you enter into and comply with any obligations imposed by us including but not limited to ensuring that (1) you comply with the terms of the investment management hub terms and conditions for advised portfolios, (2) you carry out appropriate due diligence in respect of any investment services firms you contract with, (3) you fully disclose to and explain any such arrangements to your client(s) and that they consent to such arrangements being put in place in respect of the administration of their investments, (4) you do not and shall ensure that any investment services firm you contract with does not, charge any portfolio manager fee and (5) you obtain instructions and consent from the client to each investment instruction given to us by you or an investment services firm.

Page 7: Wrap65 0819 FINAL3 - Standard Lifelibrary.adviserzone.com/wrap65.pdf · Wrap Platform 3/20 1. Intended audience and use 1.1 You are only eligible to transact via the wrap platform

Wrap Platform 7/20

5.14 You are solely responsible for advising your clients, including in relation to their and your use of the wrap platform and of the services, disclosure of all relevant charges and/or expenses whether payable to you or other third parties and for advising upon or managing your clients’ portfolio of wrap products and/or investments, including where we choose to make our separate investment management functionality available and your clients have assets managed on the wrap platform by you or a discretionary investment manager using this functionality. This includes, but is not limited to, taking full responsibility for any changes you may make to any elements of the services where these are configurable by you. Where we choose to make our separate investment management functionality and managed portfolios or advised portfolios available to your clients on the wrap platform, you acknowledge that we are not providing an investment management or investment advisory service to you or your clients. It is your responsibility to review and discuss the suitability of any investment strategy (including disclosing all relevant charges and/or any relevant expenses associated with any investment strategy) that you recommend to your clients and to review this on an ongoing basis if there has been a change in their circumstances.

5.15 The wrap platform offers bulk dealing functionality which allows you to place instructions to sell, switch or rebalance investments on behalf of multiple clients at the same time. We aim to ensure that all instructions, including bulk instructions, are executed within the timescales set out in the relevant terms and conditions or policy provisions. However, processing particularly large bulk instructions may cause delays in buying and selling investments. This means we cannot guarantee that bulk instructions will be executed within a particular time period and we will not be liable to you or a client for any loss or expense you suffer as a result of our failure to do so. You must ensure that your client is aware of this before you use bulk functionality to place instructions on their behalf. If you are informed of your client’s death, you must remove your client’s wrap account from any rebalancing or bulk instructions you carry out. Where we choose to make our separate investment management functionality available and while your clients have assets managed or administered on the wrap platform by you or a discretionary investment manager in a managed portfolio or by you or an investment services firm in an advised portfolio using this functionality, any rebalance instructions you place on the wrap platform will treat the managed portfolio or advised portfolio as a single asset within your rebalance instruction and not rebalance the underlying assets held in the managed portfolio or advised portfolio. In certain circumstances, the client terms allow us to deduct relevant amounts or any shortfall from the cash accounts and/or sell or cancel the purchase of investments if there are insufficient funds in the wrap cash account to pay an ‘ongoing adviser charge’. If we have to sell units in mutual funds or investments within a managed portfolio or an advised portfolio, these will be sold in line with a disinvestment strategy set by the discretionary investment manager, you or the investment services firm (where you or the investment services firm use our separate investment management functionality).

5.16 We and/or the relevant wrap product provider may agree to deduct monies from clients’ wrap accounts in order to pay a fee, commission, adviser charge, charge or expense which they owe to you, in accordance with the client terms and product terms. Where we and/or the relevant wrap product provider deduct money from a client’s wrap account for this purpose, this money is no longer the client’s money and immediately becomes a debt which we and/or the relevant wrap product provider owe to you. You agree not to make a claim against your client for such money, unless we and/or the relevant wrap product provider have subsequently reimbursed such money to your client and have recovered the corresponding amount from you. We and/or the relevant wrap product provider may hold any such monies until they reach a specified level before we pay them to you. We and/or the relevant wrap product provider will not pay you any interest on any such money pending payment to you.

5.17 Where we and/or the relevant wrap product provider have deducted monies from clients’ wrap accounts in order to pay a fee, commission, adviser charge or expense they owe to you (as described in section 5.16 above), you agree that we and/or the relevant wrap product provider may pay such monies to the intermediary (which may not be you) and any debt we and/or the relevant wrap product provider owe to you will be discharged on payment of such monies to the intermediary. You also agree not to make a claim against your client for such money, unless we and/or the relevant wrap product provider have subsequently reimbursed such money to your client and have recovered the corresponding amount from the intermediary.

5.18 Where you accept instructions under a power of attorney, you will provide us with an appropriate power of attorney document (the original or a copy certified on every page as a true copy by a UK solicitor, notary public or stockbroker) issued by the account holder of a wrap account.

5.19 Information on the types of trust which are eligible for a wrap account is available in the client terms. If you are in any doubt as to whether we accept a particular type of trust arrangement, you should contact us.

5.20 We only accept the most recent version of application forms and other documents available on the wrap platform. You must ensure that any application or other document you submit to us on behalf of a client is the most recent version of that document from time to time.

Wrap Platform 8/20

5.21 We and/or the relevant wrap product provider may stop paying you commission, fees or adviser charges on behalf of clients:

(i) in accordance with the client terms and product terms;

(ii) in accordance with the Intermediary Terms of Business; or

(iii) where we are required to do so by the FCA and/or the FCA rules.

5.22 You are solely responsible for any instructions you give us and/or the relevant wrap product provider to pay adviser charges on behalf of your clients to you. When submitting such an instruction, you should ensure that the type, frequency and amounts of adviser charge are exactly as agreed between you and your client, that you have evidence of your client’s agreement to pay such adviser charge(s) and that you will provide this to us and/or the relevant wrap product provider at our request. You should also ensure that the details of your client recorded on the wrap platform (including their personal home or their business address, as appropriate) are correct before submitting such an instruction.

5.23 We and/or the relevant wrap product provider reserve the right to reimburse an adviser charge deducted from a client to that client for any reason and where we and/or the relevant wrap product provider do so, will be entitled to recover the corresponding amount from you and such amount is no longer a debt which we owe to you. This may include any adviser charges we and/or the relevant wrap product provider have paid to you after the date of the customer’s death, and may include a payment made in respect of a period prior to your customer’s death.

Reduced charges

5.24 Subject to these terms, we may, at our and the relevant wrap product provider’s discretion, make reduced charges available to a client, a group of clients or all clients. If the relationship between you and your client ends, then from the date of the end of such relationship, we and the relevant wrap product provider may, after giving the client at least 30 days’ notice, cease to apply any reduced charges and the client may be charged the platform and/or product administration charges set out in the client terms.

5.25 We and the relevant wrap product provider may for any reason at any time:

(i) vary the level of reduced charges; and/or

(ii) cease to apply reduced charges and instead apply the platform and/or product administration charges set out in the client terms,

in both cases in respect of one client, or group of clients, or all clients. Where reduced charges are to cease to apply or are to be varied to a client’s detriment, we will give you at least 30 days’ written notice. Where reduced charges will be varied not to the client’s detriment, they may be varied immediately upon written notice to you.

5.26 Notwithstanding clause 5.23, we and the relevant wrap product provider may make available to clients, on an individual basis, reduced platform and/or product administration charges which differ from the reduced charges.

5.27 Where we we we we and the relevant wrap product providerwrap product providerwrap product providerwrap product provider have agreed to make available to your clients reduced chargeschargeschargescharges, you are responsible for requesting us in writing;

(a) where a customer who has previously been a wrap platform customer becomes a new client of yours, to apply the same reduced charges to that client as well; and

(b) where we and the relevant wrap product provider further lower the reduced charges to your clients and a client was previously on lower charges than was made available to your client base, to apply the same further lowered reduced charges to that client as well.

5.28 Notwithstanding clause 5.24, we and the relevant wrap product provider may cease to apply the reduced charges (and instead apply the platform and/or product administration charges set out in the client terms) immediately on written notice if we cease to be or will cease to be permitted to provide the reduced charges in whole or in part by any law, regulation or rule, including the FCA rules.

Individually managed accounts capability

5.29 If you use our individually managed accounts capability you are responsible for

a) entering into and maintaining an appropriate agreement with the discretionary investment manager with regard to your respective responsibilities concerning the use of our individually managed accounts capability. We are not party to that agreement and will not get involved in any dispute between you and/or an individual user and the discretionary investment manager in connection with such agreement, for example where the discretionary investment manager fails to take into account a mandate submitted by you;

Wrap Platform 9/20

b) creating and managing the mandates using the individually managed accounts capability (please note that your client’s money will not be invested in an individually managed account unless you create and manage the appropriate mandate);

c) fully explaining to your clients the individually managed account options available and the restrictions that apply, for example that a discretionary investment manager may not accept a request to incorporate a legacy asset;

d) ensuring that the individually managed accounts you recommend to your client are suitable and continue to be suitable for your client’s circumstances and removing your client from an individually managed account or editing or closing the relevant mandate where this is no longer the case;

e) providing your client with the relevant pre-sales information (including the relevant managed portfolio factsheet);

f) ensuring that the information you submit is and remains complete and accurate and in accordance with your client’s instructions;

g) explaining to your client that a managed portfolio that has been tailored to create an individually managed account may perform differently than the managed portfolio that invests in the standard target model assets selected by the discretionary investment manager; and

h) ensuring that the book costs (i.e. the cost incurred by your client for buying an investment) and realised gains recorded on the wrap platform are and continue to be accurate; and

i) fully co-operating with us and the discretionary investment manager in connection with the use of the individually managed accounts capability, for example by liaising directly with the discretionary investment manager in relation to the mandates you submit.

5.30 Any mandate you submit may apply to multiple clients. As a result, the statements and notifications your clients receive will show all investments which are subject to the same mandate in the same managed portfolio. This means that information about your clients (including personal data and investments held by these clients) will be disclosed to those other clients to whom the same mandate applies. You are responsible for ensuring that your clients are aware of this. If a client, at any time, informs you that they do not want their information to be disclosed in that way, you are responsible for removing that client from the mandate. You are also responsible for explaining to your clients that the statements and/ or notification they receive will include information that applies to all investments to which the mandate applies, and to what extent the information applies to the investments held by your clients.

5.31 Where you use our individually managed accounts capability and

a) we become aware that you do not have (or cease to have) an appropriate agreement with the discretionary discretionary discretionary discretionary investment manager in relation to your use of the individually managed accounts capability;

b) we become aware that you do not have (or cease to have) the necessary regulatory permissions to provide the relevant client with financial and investment advice;

c) we become aware that you have ceased to be your client’s financial adviser for any reason, including on your client’s death;

d) you, we, a client and/or a wrap product provider have terminated the relationship with the discretionary investment manager;

e) a wrap product provider requests us to cease making access to our individually managed accounts capability available to the discretionary investment manager or you in respect of a particular wrap product(s) for whatever reason; or

f) you remove a client from an individually managed account

we will within 10 business days move all the relevant client’s investments held in an individually managed account to the relevant wrap product on the wrap platform. If an investment is not available on the wrap platform, we will sell the investments and pay the proceeds into the cash account for the relevant wrap product. Where we move the investments to the wrap platform, different charges may apply to these investments where they are held in a wrap product instead of an individually managed account. You must explain this process to your client prior to utilising the individually managed accounts capability on your client’s behalf.

5.32 You will no longer be able to submit mandates when we become aware that the discretionary investment manager has removed your access to the individually managed account. In that case, we will move the assets, or the proceeds from the sale of the assets, to the wrap platform as described in 5.31.

5.33 Individually managed account options

You can select from the following four individually managed account options to create mandates for your clients. Each option has different objectives and responsibilities for you and, with the exception of the auto-ISA allowance option, the discretionary investment manager:

a) Legacy asset option:

You can create a mandate to request that legacy asset(s) are incorporated in the target allocation of one or multiple managed portfolios.

The discretionary investment manager has the right to refuse to incorporate a legacy asset into the managed portfolio target allocation. If the discretionary investment manager refuses a legacy asset, you will be notified that the request has been rejected. You will be responsible for selecting an alternative managed portfolio or removing the request from the mandate. If the discretionary investment manager accepts the legacy asset, the asset will be moved from the wrap platform to the relevant individually managed account.

The discretionary investment manager will select one or multiple assets (the “target model asset(s)) which will be replaced by the legacy asset in the target allocation. The discretionary investment manager will determine the order in which the target model asset will be replaced by the legacy asset, taking into account the minimum threshold set by you. A legacy asset cannot be the same as an existing asset in a managed portfolio.

b) Exclusion option:

You can create a mandate to select individual asset(s) or asset group(s) to be excluded (each an “excluded asset”) from an individually managed account. The exclusion(s) are set on an individual asset basis and you are responsible for selecting the excluded assets, either by creating exclusion groups or selecting individual excluded assets within the mandate. It is your responsibility to manage and maintain any excluded assets.

The discretionary investment manager may select certain asset(s) for each managed portfolio which cannot be selected for exclusion (each a ‘protected asset’). If you have selected to exclude a protected asset, you will be notified that the request has been rejected. You will be responsible for selecting an alternative managed portfolio, if appropriate.

It is the discretionary investment manager’s sole responsibility to select assets and the asset strategy to substitute the excluded asset. You should speak to the discretionary investment manager if you have any queries over the substitute asset strategy selected by them.

If you edit a mandate to add or remove an excluded asset to or from an existing individually managed account, and the discretionary investment manager accepts the mandate, the excluded asset will be substituted the next time the discretionary investment manager rebalances the individually managed account.

c) CGT option:

You can create a mandate that allows you to set a CGT allowance that your client wants the discretionary investment manager to take into account when placing investment instructions. The allowance is set as a percentage of your client’s annual CGT allowance for each managed portfolio held within a Wrap Personal Portfolio within the mandate. The gains realised from the sale of investments within each managed portfolio will count towards this allowance set by you.

You can choose between a ‘target’ and a ‘harvest’ allowance strategy and it is your and the discretionary investment manager’s responsibility to decide how to manage your client’s CGT allowance taking into account the investment strategy and risk profile of the individually managed account and the services provided by the discretionary investment manager.

The individually managed accounts capability allows you and the discretionary investment manager to monitor your client’s capital gains position including realised, unrealised and projected capital gains. The calculations will be based on the historical transactions recorded on the wrap platform and/or the book costs (i.e. the cost incurred by your client for buying an investment) entered by you. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the capital gains or losses calculated by our functionality. We are not liable for any losses caused if the book costs and/or realised gains or losses recorded on the wrap platform are incorrect at any time, any decisions taken by you or the discretionary investment managers on the basis of the CGT calculation or any dispute between you and the discretionary investment manager concerning the CGT calculation. You are responsible for ensuring that the book costs and realised gains recorded on the wrap platform are and continue to be accurate.

The individually managed accounts capability cannot prevent your client from exceeding the CGT allowance set by you, and we will not be liable for any losses if this happens.

Where the discretionary investment manager utilises the tax harvesting strategy, you will not be able to buy any additional investments and the discretionary investment manager cannot submit investment instructions for that account within 30 days after tax harvesting.

Wrap Platform 11/20

d) Auto-ISA allowance option:

You can create a mandate to request that investments held in an individually managed account in a Wrap Personal Portfolio are automatically disinvested once a year and re-invested in your client’s Wrap Stocks and Shares ISA in the same individually managed account.

You can set the disinvestment value as a percentage of your client’s annual ISA subscription allowance. The value can be split between individually managed accounts within the mandate and take into account regular or ad hoc subscriptions. The assets will be disinvested shortly after the start of each tax year.

The auto ISA allowance process will not be carried out if the value of the investments in a Wrap Personal Portfolio is insufficient to meet the disinvestment value set by you, or if the disinvestment value exceeds your client’s remaining annual ISA allowance.

The process is repeated automatically each tax year unless there are insufficient investments in your client’s Wrap Personal Portfolio or your client’s remaining annual ISA allowance would be exceeded as a result of the re-investment.

It is your responsibility to make sure that your client remains eligible to make ISA subscriptions each year the auto ISA allowance option is utilised and that this remains a suitable option for them.

6. Charges, fees and payment 6.1 We do not charge you for access to the wrap platform and to our services. We may introduce optional services from

time to time, which we may charge for but you will not be obliged to use them. If you decide to use these optional services, we reserve the right to charge for them and/or recover any costs we incur on your behalf. Any charges that apply in connection with these optional services would be agreed with and notified to you in advance. Please note that if you use such optional services, you automatically accept that you may be charged for them.

6.2 Where you have incurred any such charges or fees, you must pay them to us within 30 days of the date you receive our account (the “due date”). In the event that you do not pay us any amount you owe to us by the due date, we reserve the right to charge you compound interest on the amount due from the due date to the date you make payment. We will apply the same interest rate as the rate for English County Court judgement debts. You may also have to pay us any legal fees we incur in recovering a debt from you.

7. Security precautions 7.1 Each individual user will be allocated a user ID and a password either by you or by us at your request. Anyone

who possesses this information will be able to access the wrap platform and the services as that individual user, and accordingly you are responsible for preventing this information from being obtained by anyone else. This information must not be:

a) written down and/or disclosed to anyone except the relevant individual user;

b) recorded in such a way that it could be understood by anyone other than the relevant individual user and must not be stored on a computer (for instance, by asking a computer to remember this automatically).

7.2 Each user ID and password is for a single individual user only. Individual users are not permitted to share their user ID and password with any other person, nor with multiple users on a network.

7.3 You are responsible for access to the wrap platform and to the services, and all dealing instructions placed, using the user ID and password of any individual users. We will treat such dealing instructions as genuine and carry them out, even if given in error, unless we have received prior notification of unauthorised access to the wrap platform or the services from you. If you believe that someone else knows of a user ID or password or is accessing the wrap platform or the services without your permission, you must disable the individual user’s access using the on-line facility available from the wrap platform and telephone us to tell us as soon as possible. If you fail to do so you will be liable for any loss suffered by you or your client as a result.

7.4 If an individual user ceases to be your employee, contractor or agent, you must revoke that individual user’s authorisation immediately.

8. Liability and indemnity

8.1 We and you will comply at all times with the FCA rules and all relevant laws and applicable regulations relating to the wrap platform and/or the services.

8.2 We and you agree to co-operate with each other in connection with the application of the FCA rules and any relevant laws and regulations.

8.3 We will only be liable to you for losses you suffer to the extent that these arise directly as a result of our negligence, fraud or wilful default.

8.4 We do not guarantee that the wrap platform and the services can be accessed at all times or as indicated by us. The wrap platform and the services may be temporarily unavailable or restricted for administrative or other reasons. If this happens we will endeavour to restore access to the wrap platform and availability of the services as quickly as possible. We will also take reasonable steps to allow you to place dealing instructions by telephone during any such period.

8.5 We do not guarantee that the wrap platform or the services will be available outside the UK, that accessing or using the wrap platform and the services in any jurisdiction outside the UK is compliant with local laws or regulations or that the information can be legitimately used or accessed outside the UK. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with such use or access, or out of the unavailability of the wrap platform, the services or the information outside the UK.

8.6 We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that all information provided by us is accurate, current and complies with relevant UK laws and regulations as at the date of issue. However, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case. We do not accept liability or responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of any information that we do not calculate and/or produce directly. For example, this may be out of our control where we are reliant on a third party to provide accurate information. Data computations which are not made by us are not guaranteed by us and may not be complete or accurate.

8.7 Nothing in these terms will exclude or limit any duty or liability we may have under the regulatory system as defined by the FCA rules.

8.8 Nothing in these terms will exclude or limit any obligation we may have in common law, and in particular for fraud or for misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter.

8.9 Any software which relates to the wrap platform or the services is downloaded at your own risk. We do not warrant the suitability of any such software that you download and accept no liability for any problems with your computer that may arise as a result. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of software to be downloaded, we recommend that you obtain specialist advice before downloading.

8.10 We will not be liable to you for losses you suffer as a result of us following the instructions of a client in relation to an adviser charge (for example, if a client asks us and/or the relevant wrap product provider not to pay an adviser charge to you or to reimburse an adviser charge paid to you).

9. Changes to these terms

9.1 From time to time, we may alter these terms, for example due to changes in legislation, new industry regulations or system improvement. If we do alter these terms, we will provide a revised version on the wrap platform and notify you of this fact in accordance with section 14. Changes to these terms that are outside of our control (for instance, changes required as a result of changes in legislation or industry regulations) will take effect immediately. We will use our reasonable endeavours to give you at least 14 days’ notice of all other changes.

9.2 From time to time we may change the content, presentation, performance, facilities or availability of any part of the wrap platform, the services or the information and the way in which any of these are provided to you.

It may also be necessary as part of our services to collect and use personal information which is defined as 'special category data' under data protection law. Any special category data will only be collected and used where it’s needed to provide the services or to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations. We will normally require the individual's explicit consent for this, and you should not provide us with any special category data unless you have obtained the individual's explicit consent.

Whenever we share personal information, we will do so in line with our obligations to keep this information safe and secure.

11.5 You warrant, represent and undertake to us that, prior to communicating a client’s, a prospective client’s and/or any other individual’s personal information and/or special category data, through any application form or otherwise, you will:

Where the personal information is being processed outside of the EEA, we take additional steps to ensure it is protected to at least an equivalent level as would be applied by UK/EEA data protection law e.g. we will put in place legal agreements with our third party suppliers and do regular checks to ensure they meet these obligations.
