Terms & Privacy

Updated: 13 January 2023

Terms of Use and Client Agreement

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") refer to the Multiply mobile App (the "App") and websites www.multiply.ai and b2b.multiply.ai (the “Websites”), as well as the various services we provide to you through the App and/or Websites as amended from time to time (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by Multiply AI Limited, trading as Multiply.

By accessing or using any or all parts of the Service, you agree to be bound by the Terms, which incorporate our Privacy Statement, Cookie Policy, our Services and Costs Disclosure, and supporting Schedules and which together form the whole agreement (“Client Agreement”) between you and us. Please read these documents carefully. If you do not agree to their contents, you must stop using the Service immediately.

Multiply AI Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) (Financial Register Number 801053), which can be confirmed by visiting the financial register website (www.fca.org.uk/firms/financial-services-register) or by contacting the FCA on 0800 111 6768. Our Registered Office is: 3rd Floor, Rise London, 41 Luke Street, London, England, EC2A 4DP (Company Registration Number: 10470734).

Our Products and Partners

To provide our products and services to you, we partner with other firms as detailed in Schedule 1 (“Partners”). You authorise us to communicate with and instruct our Partners on your behalf and agree that we will only take instructions from you and communicate with you unless we agree with you otherwise.

More simply put: By using the services provided through the Multiply App or websites, you’re agreeing to follow Multiply’s rules and those of our partners, so please read them carefully.

1. Accepting the Terms

In order to use the Service, you must agree to the Terms. You may not use the Service if you do not accept the Terms. You can accept the Terms by simply accessing the Service. Your agreement and acceptance of the Terms constitutes the Client Agreement.

You may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms if you are a person who is barred or otherwise legally prohibited from receiving or using the Service under the laws of the country in which you are resident or from which you access or use the Service.

More simply put: You’re not allowed to use this Service if you don’t agree to our Terms, or if laws in your country or the country which you access or use the Service prohibit you from doing so.

2. Changes to the Terms

We reserve the right to make any changes as we see fit to any part of the Terms (i.e. including our Service and Costs Disclosure, our Privacy Statement, and our Cookie Policy) from time to time for reasons which include, but are not limited to:

  • making the Terms easier to understand and fairer to you;
  • correcting any error identified in the Terms;
  • adding any enhancement and/or functionality to the Service other than already provided at the time;
  • to comply with any decision or recommendation of a legal body;
  • to reflect good industry practice or changes in the operation of the markets;
  • as a result of any changes to our systems and processes and the way our business operates, or any changes to or affecting any of our Partners;
  • to proportionately reflect legitimate costs increases in, or restructures of, the Service and Products we provide; and
  • addressing changes to applicable law or regulations.

We will notify you of any changes which we think may affect your rights or obligations under the Terms by email and/or within the App at least 30 days before they come into force except as set out in the Terms, with a clear explanation of how the changes will affect you.

In the case of changes that we have to make for the purposes of complying with Regulatory Requirements, we may vary the Terms with immediate effect.

Whenever we give you notice of a material amendment that is to your disadvantage, you will be able to close [and terminate] your Product or stop using our Service during the notice period specified in accordance with the Terms applicable to your Product or Service. If you do not close or terminate your Product or stop using our Service after the end of such notice period, you’ll be deemed to have accepted the change.

We may assign or otherwise transfer this Client Agreement to someone else. If it is necessary for us to, we will tell you in writing and ensure that such assignment or transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

We may delegate the performance of our obligations under this Client Agreement with you to a third party. Before doing so, we’ll take reasonable care to make sure the third party will competently perform the obligations delegated, and we will monitor the performance of the third party’s activities and will remain primarily responsible for the obligations delegated.

We may also assign or otherwise transfer all or part of our rights and obligations under this Client Agreement with you to a third party (a “Transferee Firm”). We don’t need your consent to do this, but will only do so if we receive undertakings from that third party that you’ll be no less favourable treated than before the transfer was effected.

You may not assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations under this Client Agreement to anyone else unless we have given you our prior written consent.

More simply put: Sometimes we need to update our Terms. If we do and the change is likely to affect you, we’ll tell you in advance. If you continue to use our Service after these updates, we’ll assume you have agreed to the changes. Further, you cannot assign or otherwise transfer this Client Agreement to anyone else, however, we can assign or otherwise transfer our rights and obligations under this Client Agreement to someone else.

3. Service and Costs Disclosure

After we’ve fully assessed your needs and preferences, we will provide you with personalised Advice in the following areas and we may enable you to purchase products which we recommend.

  • Investments: We will advise and make a recommendation as to the amount you should invest, and the appropriate Retail Investment Product (“Investment”) you should invest into. However, we're unable to assess the suitability or performance of any existing investments you have elsewhere.
  • Pensions: We will advise and make a recommendation as to the amount you should invest in and/or contribute to a pension. In some cases, depending on your circumstances, we may recommend to you a pension product we recommend you should invest in.
  • Insurance: We will advise and make a recommendation as to the amount of cover you are likely to need, and the type of insurance product we recommend you should take out. Where applicable, we will also advise and make a recommendation on the length of term and type of policy. Our advice will cover life, critical illness, family income benefit, and income protection insurance.
  • Savings: We will advise and make a recommendation as to the amount we recommend you should save, and where we recommend you should put that money. We will provide a selection of recommended savings products.
  • Wills: We will advise and make a recommendation as to whether you should make a will and the types of provisions you should make in your will. We will recommend a third-party provider which offers will-writing services.
  • Lasting Power of Attorney: We will advise and make a recommendation as to whether you should make a lasting power of attorney. We’ll recommend the Office of the Public Guardian which helps people in England Wales stay in control of decisions about their health and finance.

We may suspend, withdraw, discontinue, or change all or any part of our Service without notice. In particular, we may temporarily suspend or withdraw financial advice and provide you with financial guidance where we deem it appropriate, for example in cases where essential maintenance is needed. Where you are receiving financial guidance, this will be communicated to you in the App at the time your plan is provided to you. Financial guidance is a service which will help you to identify your options and narrow down your choices but will not tell you what to do or which specific provider’s regulated product to buy; the decision is yours. Providers of guidance are responsible for the accuracy and quality of the information they provide but not for any decision you make based on it.

Our recommendations do not cover the whole of the market, i.e. we do not cover all product types. With the exception of Lifetime ISAs (LISA), where we are restricted to the use of the product outlined in “Schedule Overview – Our Products and Partners”, our recommendations will be based on a fair and comprehensive analysis of the available market within a specific product type, which means that our advice will qualify as “restricted advice”. For example, we do not consider products or providers which you as a consumer are not likely to be able to implement, such as an investment product only available through a private bank.

We will not provide you with any execution or investment management services. We are not tax specialists and we will not provide you with legal advice. If you need tax or legal advice we recommend that you consider obtaining your own independent advice from specialists in those areas.

We will not hold your money or assets (whether as client money or client assets or otherwise) at any stage. This will instead, if applicable, be done by one of our Partners who is authorised and regulated to provide that service. 

If you do not go through our Advice journey, meaning we have not fully assessed your needs and provided you with personalised recommendations. You may be able to open some financial products based on your own declaration that you understand the risks and believe the product is right for you. In these instances, Multiply may be paid a fee by the product provider.

What money does Multiply receive when we provide our service?

The only thing we want to get paid for is connecting people to products. Multiply is fiercely independent and is not affiliated to any product providers, platforms or price comparison sites.

At Multiply, we:

  • do not charge an upfront fee to use our App;
  • do not sell customer data; and
  • do not allow advertising or allow companies to pay us to appear on our App.

**Retail Investment Products **

If you purchase an Investment on the Multiply App then our charges (“Charges”) will be:

  • a £1 upfront implementation fee, that covers opening the account and our initial advice.
  • a £1 per month in arrears as an ongoing service charge. You can opt-out of paying this ongoing service charge, but if you do our advice service will be stopped. 
  • 0.30% per annum of the value of your Multiply-branded Products outlined in “Schedule Overview – Our Products and Partners” as a platform charge. This charge will be calculated daily and collected monthly in arrears, or at the time you close and terminate your Multiply-branded Product. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of calculating this charge the value of your Investment will include any cash amount in the Multiply-branded Product and any transactions awaiting settlement.

Our charges will be collected on the fifteenth day of each month if it is a Working Day, and if not then on the next Working Day thereafter.

Note: For any Investments in Funds you make, the Fund provider may also levy charges. Those charges are disclosed separately to you at the time you make your Investment, and they are also in the Key Investor Information Document which we will provide to you to read before deciding to buy any Funds. 

Please see Schedule 1 for further details on how our Charges are determined and collected for our Multiply branded products.

We won’t charge you any extra for:

  • Making contributions to your Investment;
  • Withdrawing money from your Investment;
  • Rebalancing your Funds;
  • Switching your investment between Funds;
  • Changing or cancelling your contributions; or
  • Transferring your Investment to another platform.

If you open or transfer in a Unity Mutual Lifetime ISA without taking our Advice then we will receive £50 from Unity Mutual.

In an instance where you open an Investment product through a non-advised journey, we will charge a £1 implementation fee and an ongoing £1 per month services fee. These fees will then be waived should you go through an advised journey, with our advisor charges then applying.

Non-Retail Investment Products 

If you purchase a non-retail investment product (e.g. current and savings accounts (including Cash ISAs and Cash Lifetime ISAs), insurance, wills, and mortgages) we recommend, and implement it through Multiply, we may receive a fee from the product provider depending on the product we connect you to. The details of these products and the fees that Multiply may receive from providers are listed below:

Savings

When you follow our recommendation regarding a savings product, we may make money if you click through an ​'affiliate link' and open a savings account we have recommended to you. These links look and work in the same way as normal links, but if you click through and open an account, the link is tracked and the provider may pay us a fixed fee of between £20 and £80 on average, depending on the product and the amount you save.

Mortgages

We have partnerships in place with mortgage brokers such as, but not limited to, Mojo. If you are referred to us by one of them and take out a mortgage with them, we might receive a fee

Wills

When you follow our recommendation regarding a Wills product, we may make money if you purchase a Will through an affiliate link. These links look and work in the same way as normal links, but if you click through and purchase, the link is tracked and the provider may pay us a fixed fee of between £41 and £59 on average, depending on the product you purchase.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

We don’t make any money from recommending Lasting Powers of Attorney.

Closing your account

If you choose to withdraw most of your money from your Retail Investor Products, you should assess whether keeping any remaining Investment is worthwhile taking into account our charges as we’ve explained above. 

Other Charges

In the unlikely event that Multiply was to cease trading, there may be additional charges to pay to our Partners in relation to the administration of your plan. These are to cover the fact that we will no longer be able to act as intermediary between you and our Partner. We don’t anticipate that these charges will need to be applied, but please note that our Partner reserves the right to set the level of those charges and to apply them.

4. Accessing our Service

Save as detailed in 3. above, the Service is made available free of charge. We do not guarantee that the Service, or any content within it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. Access to the Service is permitted on a temporary basis. We may suspend, withdraw, discontinue, or change all or any part of our Service without notice.

The Service is only for users over the age of 18 who are resident and domiciled in the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland). We do not represent that content available on or through our Service is appropriate for use or available in other locations.

More simply put: [Save as detailed in 3. above,] We don’t charge you for using our service, and we can’t promise it will always be available. We provide our service to people who are over 18 and are based permanently in the UK.

5. Multiply user account

Creating your account

In order to access some features of the Service, you will need to create a Multiply user account. You may create a Multiply user account with your email address and a password of your choice.

Account security

You must keep your Multiply user account secure and confidential. Do not share your password or allow others to access your Multiply account. You agree that you will be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your Multiply user account.

Suspending or Closing your account

We have the right to disable your user account at any time, if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of the Terms. If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your login information, or has accessed your user account, you must promptly notify us at support@multiply.ai.

You may close your Multiply user account, thereby terminating this Client Agreement through your account settings or by giving us written notice at support@multiply.ai.

Once your account is closed, you will not be able to access the Service.

6. Purchasing financial products recommended by Multiply

When you purchase financial products or related services recommended or referred to by Multiply as part of the Service, while we might make a recommendation, the contract relating to that sale is between you and the service provider or vendor of that product. You will not purchase products from Multiply and you will have no sale agreement with Multiply. If you have any queries with respect to the product(s) you have purchased, please contact the service provider or vendor directly.

In most cases, you will probably be able to exercise a right to cancel the contracts for financial contracts we have recommended by withdrawing from them within certain time periods. Whether you can do so, and how you can do so, will be set out in the terms and conditions provided to you by, or your agreement with, that service provider or vendor.

More simply put: When you buy a financial product, you will be buying it from a third party, not from us. You should ask them any questions you have about the product, including what cancellation rights are available to you.

7. No reliance on information

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information within the Service, we make no representations, warranties, or guarantees, whether expressed or implied, that the content within our Service is accurate, complete, or up-to-date, or provides a full picture of all services, products, or offers that are available elsewhere.

More simply put: We’re not always able to keep all parts of our service up to date so please don’t rely on it.

8. Risk warnings

Please be aware that the value of financial investments, and the income from them, can fall as well as rise, and that you may not get back the full amount you invest into any Product. The price of investments we recommend may depend on fluctuations in the financial markets, or other economic factors, which are outside our control. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.

You should read the relevant Key Investor Information Documents for any fund before you decide to invest, as these will contain important information that could influence your decision.

Laws and tax rules may change in the future without notice.

Future returns aren’t guaranteed. What you receive when you sell your investments isn’t guaranteed. It depends on how your investments perform and the charges applied.

Investments may be negatively affected by changes in interest rates and expectations of inflation. They may be subject to credit, liquidity and duration risks. Adverse changes in the financial position of the investment issuer can affect an investment’s liquidity.

During periods of high volatility investment values can rise or fall sharply in a short space of time.

Funds may invest in:

  • Foreign markets which have different risks from the UK market. This can include emerging markets or less developed countries which have less regulatory control and less supervision of their financial markets, and consequently less investor protection. Investments denominated in a currency other than sterling may be affected by movements in exchange rates. Consequently, the value of an investment may rise or fall in line with exchange rates.
  • Derivatives, which are financial instruments that can be used to protect against currencies, credit and interest rate movements or for investment purposes. There is therefore a risk that losses could be made on derivative positions or that the counterparties to them could fail to complete on transactions.

Some risks can be specific to a fund or type or investment.

The risks discussed above aren’t exhaustive. You should read the relevant Key Features Document and Key Information Document of any Product or Fund or PRIIP that you wish to invest in, as these will contain important information that could influence your decision.

More simply put: Be aware that you can lose money from the investments you make.

9. IP rights

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Service and Products, and in the material and content published on it by us (“Content”). Copyright laws and treaties around the world protect those works. All such rights are reserved.

You may print off one copy, and may download extracts, of any page(s) from our Service for your personal use and you may draw the attention of others to Content posted within our Service. You must not modify the paper or make digital copies of any materials you have printed off or downloaded in any way, and you must not use any illustrations, photographs, video or audio sequences or any graphics separately from any accompanying text. You must not use any part of the Content from our Service for commercial purposes without obtaining a licence to do so from us or our licensors.

Multiply respects copyright and other intellectual property rights. Content which is determined to be infringing or violating such rights will be removed in accordance with applicable laws. Claims of alleged intellectual property infringement should be submitted by contacting support@multiply.ai.

More simply put: We own, or have a licence for, the Content we post to this Service. You can view, store, and share this Content for personal use only, but you can't modify it without permission. If you think any Content within this Service infringes your legal rights, contact us and we’ll review it.

10. Prohibited uses

You may use our Service only for lawful purposes. You may not use our Service in any way that breaches any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.

You also agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, re-sell, disable, or otherwise harm or interfere with any part of the Service other than when we expressly permit you to do so in writing. In addition, you agree not to use the Service for commercial purposes.

More simply put: You cannot use our Service for illegal or commercial purposes, or try to damage our Service.

11. Links to and from the Service

You may link to the Service, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it. You must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval, or endorsement on our part where none exists. The Service must not be framed on any other site. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice. If you wish to make use of any Content within the Service other than that set out above, please contact support@multiply.ai.

Where the Service contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources.

More simply put: Linking to our service is permitted so long as you act fairly and don’t try to exploit our service or pass content off as your own. Also, we are not and cannot be responsible for the content of sites we link to.

12. Security

Multiply endeavours to operate a safe and secure platform, and implements appropriate security measures as much as possible. However, Multiply cannot guarantee that the security of the Service will not be compromised, for example by malicious third parties. In the event that user data or security is affected by a security breach, we will inform users and implement any additional safeguards we deem necessary.

You are responsible for ensuring that any devices (like your mobile phone or email) you use to access our Service and Products or to communicate with us are working correctly and kept secure.

Multiply cannot be held responsible for any malicious activity caused to your account or device as a result of you accessing third party links via the Service.

If you have any security suspicions or concerns about content within the Service or your Products, you should contact us immediately.

We recommend that you use anti-virus software on any electronic device that you use to access our Service or Products.

Communications between us by email isn’t guaranteed to be secure or reliable. For that reason, we advise that you don’t include your Product numbers in any email communication with us.

More simply put: We work hard to protect our users, but sometimes bad things happen that are out of our control. If you’re concerned about anything, let us know right away.

13. Liability

We may rely on any instructions that we receive whilst any Products you may have are activated using your Security Details. We will act on any instructions given in accordance with our stated procedures that appear, in our reasonable opinion, to be valid, and we have no duty to make any further enquiries in relation to such instructions. The only exception is if we acted on the relevant instruction after you told us, or we otherwise had actual notice, that your Security Details were in jeopardy.

We or our Partners will only be liable to you for any loss you may suffer as a direct result of our fraud, gross negligence, material breach of the Terms, or wilful default. By way of example only, this means we will not be liable for any losses, damages, liabilities or claims incurred as a result of events such as:

  • any falls in investment values;
  • any unforeseen events resulting in loss of profit, or other indirect or consequential loss, which are outside our control, including those caused by third parties. This will include where:
    • there are delays in executing your Orders, changes in market conditions (including price fluctuations) before your order is executed and any change in law;
    • we are unable to execute any instruction because of a breakdown in communication between us and an Execution Venue;
    • it arises from circumstances that we could not have reasonably anticipated when you gave us your instructions;
    • delays occur while we verify your identity;
    • we have, in good faith, acted on instructions that appear to be valid and given in accordance with our stated procedures;
    • you are unable to communicate with us partially or at all, using our App;
    • of any machine or software malfunction;
    • there is a loss of any business, contracts profits, anticipated profits or anticipated savings however caused;
    • there is any error in data transmission; or
    • we cannot perform our obligations by reason of any circumstances beyond our reasonable control and we take such steps as are reasonable and practicable in the circumstances with a view to minimising the effect of the vent on our clients.
  • any losses attributable to your own actions, or which occurred due to your failure or omission to disclose complete or accurate information, either to us or to a recommended advisor; or
  • any Service-related issues, such as it being unavailable or interrupted.

The only losses you suffer in relation to the Service that we provide that we’ll accept responsibility for are if:

  • we are negligent or fraudulent;
  • we knowingly or recklessly fail to comply with the Regulatory Requirements or the Terms or otherwise materially breach the FCA Rules or the Terms;
  • we have failed to transmit your instructions through our Service so that any of your Assets held by our Partner’s aren’t adequately protected;
  • we have failed to exercise due skill, care and diligence in selecting a Partner, selecting or retaining a bank, settlement agent or custodian; or
  • it would be unlawful for us to do so, and as such do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or that of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or misrepresentation.

Any dispute with our Partners should be handled in accordance with their terms. Our Partners’ terms set out their liability to you, and Multiply will have no liability in the event of any claim for which our Partner has responsibility.

We aren’t responsible for the default, insolvency or other failure by a third party bank or settlement agent, clearing agent, depository, clearing or settlement system or any participant in any one of them, or any Fund Provider or Fund Provider’s agent with whom any order that you give us is placed; but where we have acted in good faith but have not correctly executed any instructions that you have given us in accordance with the Terms, we will restore you Product to the condition it would have been in had the incorrect transaction not take place. Once we have done so, we will have no further liability to you.

We will only be liable to you, the Product holder and not to any third party you may have authorised.

You will be liable:

  • for any Charges reasonably and properly incurred under, or as a result of a breach of, this Client Agreement;
  • for the result of any error on your part or on the part of any other person even though we may, in our discretion, try to remedy the error; and
  • for the results of any instruction being unclear or ambiguous.

You do not have any liability to us for claims, demands, liabilities, losses, expenses or costs (including costs of any third party) that we bear as a result of a breach of our obligations to you (including breach of FCA Rules) or of our negligence, wilful default or fraud.

In any case, our total liability will be limited to the higher of:

  • the level of fees we receive from third parties in connection with the products recommended to you (for further details on how this works, see the Service and Costs Disclosure); and
  • the remaining amount of any professional indemnity insurance available to us.

More simply put: We put a limit on what we’re liable for, except where we’re not allowed to by law.

14. Duty to disclose

Any financial advice we provide will be based on your personal financial circumstances and objectives. You must give us accurate and complete information and a true reflection of your current circumstances. Any wrong or incomplete information that you provide to us may lead to wrong advice or the terms of your plan being invalidated. We strongly recommend that you check the information you provide before you submit it and that you keep it regularly updated thereafter. This includes how you feel about taking investment risk, and if that changes it’s important that you let us know by updating your Risk Profile in the App.

More simply put: We provide advice and recommendations based on the information you give us, so please make sure it’s correct and kept up to date.

15. Client money

Multiply does not, and is not permitted to, handle client money, and we cannot accept a cheque made out to us. We do not handle cash.

16. Anti-Money Laundering

Where we are required to verify your identity in accordance with the applicable anti-money laundering requirements (i.e. those relating to the provision of financial services), parts of the Service will be withheld from you until such verification has been obtained, and none will be provided if the required verification is not forthcoming within a reasonable period. We may use and search the records of credit reference or fraud prevention agencies to check your identity. Such searches may leave a ‘soft footprint’ on your credit file, but this won’t be visible to lenders and won’t affect your credit rating.

By agreeing to the Terms you are consenting to Multiply AI validating your personal identification and address via these means.

More simply put: Because we’re providing financial services, we may be required to verify your identity to help prevent financial crime. Where we have to do such checks, you won’t be able to use parts of the Multiply service until we’ve been able to verify your identity. The checks we run may be visible to you on your credit report, but won’t be visible to lenders and won't affect your credit rating.

17. Conflict of interest

We will endeavour always to act in the best interests of our clients; however, circumstances can arise where we or one of our other customers may have some form of interest in business being transacted for you. To ensure we can properly identify these situations and manage them appropriately, we maintain a Conflict of Interest policy that is available to you upon request.

18. Record-keeping

We will keep records related to your use of the Service in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations, which can mean that we keep them for a period of years. Further details on our record retention policy is available upon request. You can inspect the records at any time. We treat all our clients’ records as confidential.

19. Communication

We may communicate with you by phone (e.g. through our App or by text message) or email, and all our communications will be made in English. We prefer instructions to be given in writing, by email.

You must tell us without delay if your contact details change.

You agree that we may record and/or monitor email or other communications between us to comply with applicable Regulatory Requirements, to record instructions that you have given us and for training or research purposes. These records form part of the information that we hold about you and will be handled in accordance with Regulatory Requirements and related Policies.

We will make reasonable efforts to contact you using the contact details that you give us, but if our emails bounce or our correspondence is returned marked, “gone away” or your phone number (if provided) is no longer active we will not make any further attempts to communicate by those means. We'll take reasonable steps to try to contact you to get your new details, but we do not have to send further communications until you provide us with correct details. The Terms provide further information on the action we may take if your Products contain unclaimed Investments.

20. Governing Law

The Terms, which incorporate the Terms of Use, the Privacy Statement, the Cookie Policy, and the Service and Costs Disclosure (as updated from time to time), together form the entire agreement between you and us.

This Client Agreement and any dispute or claim (whether contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with it, its subject matter or formation shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of England and Wales. Any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Client Agreement shall be brought only in the courts of England, and each party agrees that any such proceedings shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any jurisdiction.

Neither party intends that the Terms should be enforceable, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, by any person who is not a party to the Terms.

Each of the paragraphs in the Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Even if we delay in enforcing the Terms, we can still do so later. If we don’t insist immediately that you do anything you’re required to under the Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking the Terms, that doesn’t mean you won’t have to do those things and we’ll be prevented from taking steps against you at a later date.

More simply put: The law that governs your agreement with us is the law of England and Wales. Any legal proceedings relating to this Client Agreement will be brought in the courts of England. Only you or Multiply can enforce anything in this agreement. Any delay by us in enforcing the Terms is not a waiver of our ability to enforce our rights against you at a later time.

21. Your rights

Client categorisation

The FCA has three levels of client categories, and different levels of protection apply to each category. Unless we advise you otherwise, we will classify you as a “retail client” for regulatory purposes, which gives you the highest level of protection.

Complaints

We will always try to provide you with the best possible service, but we recognise that there may be occasions where we fail to meet your expectations.

If you need help with any aspect of our service, then please contact our customer support team straight away by emailing support@multiply.ai. If you are not happy with our response and would like to make a complaint, you should email your complaint to complaints@multiply.ai.

If we receive a complaint from you, we will carry out an investigation and provide you with an initial response within three business days.

We will endeavour to address all aspects of your complaint within eight weeks, and we will update you when we believe the issue is resolved. If we are unable to resolve your complaint within eight weeks we will explain to you why this has happened and will keep you updated about all measures being taken to resolve your complaint thereafter.

Where your complaint relates to one of our Partners we may pass your complaint on to them to deal with.

If you cannot settle your complaint with us or our Partners, you may be entitled to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”). Their contact details are below:

22. Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)

FSCS protects customers when authorised financial services firms fail. You may be entitled to compensation if we cannot meet our obligations to you. In addition, the investments you make on the basis of the recommendations we provide to you may be covered by the FSCS and you may be able to claim compensation from the FSCS if the provider of any such product is unable to meet its obligations to you (e.g. if it can’t repay the amount you have provided to it to invest). Please note that the FSCS does not protect against market volatility.

Different types of claims may bring different levels of compensation. These limits may vary from time to time.

  • Investments: most types of investment business are covered up to a limit of £85,000;
  • Deposits: Cash deposits are covered for up to the limit of £85,000;
  • Structured Deposits: these are covered for up to the limit of £85,000;
  • General Insurance: you can get up to 90% of the claim with no upper limit.
  • Compulsory Insurance is covered without any upper limit.

Note: Limits are per claimant and apply to your total holdings with an organisation in relation to each category of claim. Therefore, each limit includes all the investments or all the cash you hold across your accounts with one organisation. Depending on your claim, limits may apply to each of our Partners separately.

Further information about the compensation schemes available from the FSCS in respect of different types of financial products please visit the FSCS’s website at www.fscs.org.uk.

        • Have a permanent address in the UK
        • Are not a US person or opening a Product on behalf of a US person.
  4. YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSFERS INTO YOUR PRODUCT

    1. You can make contributions by Cash only to your Products, but you must observe the rules applicable to the Product, including those set by HMRC and our Partners. For example, HMRC limits how much can be contributed into ISAs each year. The current Key Features Document sets out the current provisions for how you can make contributions and transfer payments into your Product.
    2. If you contribute a different amount to what we recommend, then you must accept the risk that we can’t confirm if the new amount will meet any stated goals you might have, or that it will be affordable for you over the long term.
    3. When you make a contribution or arrange a transfer into your Product it will constitute an Order to purchase a number of Units of the Fund (less any applicable fees or levies) you have chosen to be in your Product at the next available dealing date after the Contribution has been applied to your Product, provided you’ve set up the contribution or transfer correctly through our App.
    4. If an unexpected contribution or transfer is received, we will notify you of this as soon as is practical. No Order will be placed until we receive confirmation from you of your intentions. If we don’t receive any confirmation from you within three 3 Working Days our independent custodian may be required to return the cash to you without placing an Order. A working day (Working Day) is a good business day in the UK, and it excludes weekends and bank holidays.
    5. When you ask us to move your investments between your Products or the Funds within a Product that’s known as a “Switch”. A Switch will involve the sale of existing Units in one Product and the purchase of Units in a different Product, or the sale of Units in one Fund and purchase of Units in a different fund in the same Product. The sale will normally be placed by the end of the Working Day following receipt of your instructions and the purchase will normally be placed by the end of the Working Day following receipt of the sale proceeds. During the process of switching, your money may not be invested in either Product.
    6. You can choose to pay into your plan by regular direct debits or one-off transfers.
    7. You can’t transfer existing fund holdings into your Product unless they are one of our Permitted Investments.

  5. FEES AND CHARGES

    1. You should ensure that you’re aware of the fees and charges which apply to your Product before making a decision about whether to buy or sell a Retail Investment Product. See Section 3. Services and Costs Disclosure in the Terms for further information.
    2. Our Charges will be collected on the fifteenth day of each month if it is a Working Day, and if not then on the next Working Day thereafter.
    3. If there isn’t enough cash in your Product we will sell a portion of your Fund with the highest value to pay our Charges. The amount sold will be the amount of our Charges plus 10% to allow for the uncertainty in what the closing value of the Fund will be.
    4. A cooling-off period of fourteen days applies from the date you first contribute cash or transfer an Investment into your Product. You may cancel your product within those fourteen days and if you do so we won’t apply any Charges. However, any changes in the market value of your Investment will still be for your own account. That means you might lose money if the value of any Funds you have bought has fallen between the date you purchased the Funds and when you choose to close your account. The standard settlement times for doing that are detailed in Section 9. Order Execution below.
  6. PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

    1. We only offer a limited number of Funds for investment in our Retail Investment Products. We call these our Permitted Investments.
    2. We may alter the range of our Permitted Investments available through your Products at any time and may require the sale (or if permitted by application of Regulatory Requirements, the transfer or withdrawal) of any Investments which have been removed from the Range of Permitted Investments. When we do so, we will, where practical, give you advance notice. There may be occasions where we aren’t able to give you advance notice, for example when the change is:
      • Required immediately to comply with Regulatory Requirements;
      • As a consequence of circumstances outside our control; or
      • Required immediately in order to protect your interests.
    3. If any such change affects your Product, we will notify you by email and in our App of the change and the options available to you.
    4. In order to be able to place an Order on your Product, which includes but isn’t limited to, regular trading, you must provide us with your:
      • Forename;
      • Surname;
      • Date of Birth;
      • Nationality; and
      • National Insurance Number (this is the MiFID II Natural Person Identifier for the UK).

    We’re required to hold this information in order to meet our Regulatory Requirements.

    1. You may not use the Investments held in your Products as security for a loan.
  7. CUSTODY

    1. Assets are held as prescribed by Regulatory Requirements. We arrange the safeguarding and administration of these Assets for your interests. The Partner’s terms set out the arrangement made for custody of the Investments in your Products. See Schedule 2 – Custody Terms.
    2. We may use an independent Custodian to deal and hold the Assets in your Products, provide cash payment services, asset price and information data and perform client money and asset reconciliation in accordance with Regulatory requirements.
    3. Ownership of the Investments in your Product is in the name of the Custodian or their nominee.
    4. Cash received from or in respect of you, by way of Contribution or transfer in of Units in Funds will be held through your Product in accordance with the Regulatory Requirements.
    5. No interest is paid on Cash held on your behalf through your Product.
  8. DEALING IN INVESTMENTS & POLICIES FOR YOUR PRODUCT

    1. All dealings in Investments will be subject to the Terms and the rules, regulations, customs and market practice of the Execution Venue in which the transaction takes place. If there’s a conflict between the rules and regulations of the Execution Venue and the Terms, the rules and regulations of the Execution Venue will take precedence and will apply.
    2. Because of the complex nature of our business, circumstances may exist which give rise to a conflict between our, or our Partners, respective interests or between you and another customer. To make sure that we take those into account when we execute your Order, we have implemented a Conflicts of Interest Policy. This explains how conflicts of interest can arise and the arrangements we have for managing them, and it is available for review on request via support@multiply.ai.
    3. Our Order Execution Policy is available on the following link: https://seccl.tech/orderexecution/.
    4. The Service we provide under our Agreement will be provided in accordance with the above policies which may be amended from time to time.
  9. ORDER EXECUTION

    1. Orders to deal in Funds are normally routed to the appropriate fund manager for execution at the next available dealing date for that Fund. Orders may be aggregated with other customer orders and bulked prior to executing with the fund manager.
    2. The purchase price of any Order is determined at the next valuation point for the relevant Fund (this is usually calculated by reference to a specific time on the next Working Day). This means if you request a withdrawal for a specific amount, how much you receive may be more or less depending on whether the next valuation points are greater or less than the previous valuation points for your Funds. There may be a delay for your Account to be updated.
    3. You agree that if at any stage it is determined that your Product has been allocated Units in error, you will notify us as soon as you become aware of this fact and otherwise upon you notifying us or our notifying you, you shall take all reasonable steps as requested by us to assist us with remedying the error.
    4. Your Orders may be executed by an independent stockbroker. We may delay, or refuse to arrange to execute your order if:
      1. We or our Partners have reasonable cause to believe that the proposed transaction may constitute market abuse or market timing, or we otherwise have reasonable cause to be concerned that the placing of the Order may breach Regulatory Requirements.
      2. We or our Partners have reasonable cause to suspect that the Order was not placed by you/that the order was placed fraudulently.
      3. We or our Partners believe that you do not have a legal right or authority to deal in the investments;
      4. Your Order does not meet the minimum investment criteria for the Units that you want to buy;
      5. The current criteria set by us to process an Order in our App hasn’t been met; or
      6. Extreme market conditions exist, and we or our Partners or the independent stockbrokers have stopped taking trades in either one Investment or Investments in general.
    5. When we accept your Orders, we will use reasonable endeavors to carry them out and have them executed. However, we cannot guarantee that we can give effect to them or that they will be carried out immediately, as this will depend on market conditions which are subject to sudden and unpredictable changes.
    6. We will tell you if we have had to delay or are unable to execute your Order (unless we are prevented from doing so because of Regulatory Requirements).
    7. We will tell you if we are unable to process your Order through our App.
    8. If we have to execute an Order relating to a Corporate Action or receive a Corporate Action payment in a currency other than pounds Sterling, we will carry out a foreign exchange transaction to convert the payment or dividends to pounds Sterling which could take a number of days to settle. Any foreign exchange risk is for your account.
    9. Our record of the time of receipt and execution of an Order will be conclusive unless it is obvious that it is wrong.
    10. Order confirmation
      1. Contract notes will be issued no later than the first Business Day after the transaction, or if applicable, after we receive price confirmation from the Fund Provider and our system being updated.
      2. Contract notes will be available to view through our App.
      3. The contract note will detail the amount debited or credited to your Product. You must check that the information on the contract note is correct and tell us as soon as possible if it isn’t.
    11. Settlement of Orders
      1. If there are delays beyond our control in the settlement of a transaction, we can delay settlement of any subsequent sale or purchase until the first transaction has settled and been delivered.
      2. Your contract note will confirm the relevant settlement date for the transaction.
      3. Your Product will be debited immediately on the trade date for purchases and so you must have cleared Cash available in your Product at the time you instruct us to deal. In all other cases you must ensure that cleared Cash is available in your Product on or before settlement date of a purchase order unless agreed otherwise with you, if not no purchase will be made.
    12. Cancelling your Orders
      1. Once we have received an Order from you and acted on it, you will not be able to change that instruction.
      2. If you tell us that you wish to cancel an Order, we will use reasonable efforts to halt the execution of the transaction. However, we will not be liable for the financial consequences to you if we are unable to stop the execution of the Order (for example if your order has already been transmitted to a third party for execution, or if we are unable to process an email request from you in time).
      3. We may cancel any duplicate or repeated instruction you give to us where the circumstances indicate that your intended transaction has been split into smaller orders to take advantage of any market limitations or restrictions.
    13. Fractional Entitlements
      1. The Units received by the Nominee will be allocated to us as follows: where the Units can only be transferred in a whole number of Units, then we’ll allocate to your Product such number of units rounded down to the nearest whole number that we calculate are due to you, using the relevant company’s basis of allocation.
      2. Any Units remaining after we have made these allocations will be aggregated and sold. The resulting sale proceeds, together with the cash payment (if any) will be distributed in proportion to the holdings amongst the relevant clients using the relevant company’s basis of allocation.
    14. When Product Assets will be valued
      1. We will arrange to value your Product Assets:
        1. For regular reporting purposes;
        2. When we are told about your death with effect from your date of death; or
        3. To facilitate the closure of your Product.
      2. The value will be set by the latest price published by the relevant Fund Provider. The value that you see online is illustrative only and does not reflect what you may get if you decide to sell all of your Investments.
      3. The value of the Investments that you hold in your Product and which you can see in our App will be the price at close of business on the previous Business Day.
  10. PAYMENTS

    1. Payments will only be made to you in an account in your name held with a bank or building society operating in the United Kingdom.
    2. You will be notified in written or electrical form of mandate setups and schedule of direct debit collections.
    3. If your first payment is made within one month of sign-up, we may issue the confirmation and advance notice together.
    4. Our advance notice is 5 days, so the earliest any payment can be requested is 5 days from the mandate setup. Thereafter, payments normally take three (3) Working Days to reach your account with us from when they’re collected from your bank account.
    5. You can pick which day of the month you’d like your direct debit to be collected, with the options being one to twenty-eight only.
    6. If the day of your direct debit is a weekend or bank holiday, the funds may only be collected on the next following Working Day.
    7. You are responsible for ensuring there is enough money in your account for your direct debit. If there isn’t, and you incur any costs from your bank, they will be for your account. This applies even if you’ve connected your account to our App using AIS.
    8. We need what we expect you to send to match what we receive exactly. If it doesn’t, we’ll try and contact you to confirm if we should change the expected amount. If we don’t hear from you or are unable to get your confirmation within a specified time, we will return your money to you. If that happens, we won’t have any liability to you relating to this.
    9. If you cancel your direct debit you must also instruct your bank to cancel it too. If you don’t your bank will still run the direct debit and send the money to us.
    10. If you make one-off payments into your Product you must include the reference number we provide so that we can ensure we allocate the payment correctly. If you don’t, your payment may be returned. If that happens, we won’t have any liability to you relating to this.
    11. Once you have instructed a withdrawal from your Investment you won’t be able to cancel it, so you should be sure you want to go ahead before confirming the withdrawal.
  11. FUND REBALANCING

    1. Your Investment will be in at least three Funds. If you’re paying our Ongoing Services Charge, you agree that we will automatically rebalance your Products which contain your Funds if those Funds’ values diverge by more than ten percent (10%). Rebalancing means we’ll realign the Fund holdings to equal weightings in each of the Funds. That means we’ll sell the higher value Fund/s and buy the lower value Fund/s. This will be done at no extra cost to you within five (5) Working Days from the date on which the values diverged by 10%, to maintain the proportions of the original recommendation. If you opt out of paying the Ongoing Services Charge, then we will not rebalance any Funds you hold in your Products.
  12. REPORTING

    1. We’ll provide you with contract notes confirming details of your trades which will be available to you electronically via our App.
    2. We’ll provide you with illustrations, transaction and valuation reports in our App. We’ll let you know by email when a report is available.
    3. We don’t provide paper copies of statements, reports or ad hoc valuations.
    4. You must monitor the reports we send or make available to you about your Product and tell us immediately if you notice:
      • Any error or omission in any contract note or other report we send or make available;
      • That you have not received confirmation of a trade you’re expecting; and/or
      • That there have been any unexpected transactions.

    6. You may download or print individual sections of Reports and our App strictly for use in relation to your Products provided you keep intact all copyright and proprietary notices. You mustn’t reproduce or distribute any material without our consent.
    7. Any news, prices and other information that we provide to you which is not regulated advice is done on an informational basis only. Further, such information does not constitute an offer by us to buy, sell or otherwise deal in any Product. By contrast, and if applicable, your plan will provide information on our recommendations and financial advice and should be reviewed by you before making any Investment decisions.
    8. When we provide market information, we use sources we believe are reliable. If we use an independent information provider to provide that market information, we’ll use reasonable care to make sure that provider is suitable. However, because we have no control over the information sources, we cannot guarantee that the market information is accurate, complete or timely, or that it will always be available to you.
    9. Market information is not necessarily available to you through our App. You should satisfy yourself that market information is reliable before you make any decisions or take any actions based on it. We aren’t responsible for any decisions or action you take or any loss you or anybody else may suffer as a result of your decision, action or inaction.
    10. We are not responsible for the contents of any information that we send to you that has been prepared by a third party (for example, a Fund Provider).
  13. OUR RIGHTS IF YOU DON’T COMPLY WITH OUR AGREEMENT

    3. If you don’t pay money due to us we may combine all or any credit balances on any Product that you hold with us, and may use the credit balances to reduce any sums you owe to us (this is called a right of set-off).

    5. If we choose to sell your Investments in these circumstances, we will sell Investments in accordance with the Terms.
    6. The net proceeds of any sale, after deduction of our Charges, will be used to reduce your liabilities. You may keep any money that is left after that.

Schedule 2 – Custody Terms

  1. BACKGROUND 

    1. Under the terms, you consent to appointing Seccl Custody Limited ("SCL") as the custodian to provide: 
      1. the custody services more particularly described in this schedule; 
      2. cash payment services, asset price and information data; and
      3. client money and asset reconciliation in accordance with the client asset sourcebook ("CASS") of the FCA rules.
    2. SCL is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of 12 Endeavour Square, London, E20 1JN, registration number 793200, to arrange, safeguard and administer custody of cash and assets. 
    3. SCL is registered in England, registration number 10430958. To contact SCL, write to 20 Manvers Street, Bath, BA1 1JW.
    4. Terms not defined in these custody terms have the meaning set out in the terms or the FCA rules. 
  2. SYSTEM OPERATION - APPLYING AND TRANSACTING

    1. The custodian is authorised to ensure that the custody of your cash and assets are managed compliantly in accordance with the applicable regulations. 
    2. Any deposits or withdrawals of cash or instructions to buy, sell or transfer investments, through the ISP, will be recorded and managed in accordance with CASS. SCL will ensure any investment instructions are placed in accordance with the terms. 
    3. All client cash will be held with an approved bank or CRD credit institution in a designated client money statutory trust account. The account is held separately from any monies held by either SCL or the ISP. 
    4. Client assets will be registered to Digital Custody Nominees Limited ("Nominee") which is a wholly owned subsidiary company of SCL. This arrangement safeguards and segregates your assets from those of SCL. SCL accepts the same level of responsibility under CASS to you for the nominee. 
    5. Your cash and assets will be held in a pooled arrangement. This means that SCL will have records that identify your individual ownership and entitlement to assets. For operational and servicing purposes it is more efficient for SCL to administer your investments on a pooled basis. 
    6. SCL will have instances where we need to appoint third-party nominees or sub-custodians to maintain the custody services offered. By agreeing to these custody terms, you authorise SCL to do so. 
    7. SCL will use reasonable care and due diligence to perform its custodian duties. Your assets will be held separately to SCL’s assets, if SCL goes out of business. If any shortfall of assets arises as a result of SCL’s or a third-party nominee or sub-custodian's insolvency, these would be shared on a proportionate basis with affected clients. 
    8. Where SCL receives income from your investments through dividend payments, fund distributions and corporate actions, SCL will reconcile and credit these to your accounts. 
    9. As corporate action events arise, SCL will inform the ISP where actions are applicable to your assets. 
    10. SCL will facilitate the transfer of cash and assets in accordance with client instructions and the ISP’s terms.
  3. CASH PROCESSES

    1. Any client deposits or income will be credited to your respective account once identified and reconciled with the date SCL received monies. 
    2. SCL will not pay any interest on cash held in client money accounts. You will be notified by ISP of any changes if our policy on client interest change.
  4. SETTLEMENT

    1. Settlement of client assets will accord with market best practice. Where assets are traded in exchange traded instruments "ETIs", SCL will normally operate on a delivery-versus-payment "DVP" settlement process. By agreeing to the custody terms, you permit SCL to apply DVP transaction exemption as detailed in the FCA rules up until any delivery of assets (purchases) or cash (sales) passes the third working day, whereby SCL will follow client money and asset reconciliations in accordance with CASS. 
    2. For model portfolio and switch orders, SCL will place a buy order after the sell instruction is confirmed by the fund manager or the market. SCL may delay the purchase of ETI orders if the intended settlement date on the sale of a fund, is a day or more longer than that of the ETI order.
  5. ASSET RECONCILIATIONS

    1. SCL will reconcile client money and assets in accordance with CASS. 
    2. Client money will be reconciled on a business day basis and assets will be reconciled externally according to their type and registration.

  7. COMMUNICATIONS

    1. All communication with you will be in English through the online message portal provided by the ISP.

It is your responsibility to sign-in and read this information and it is important you notify the ISP promptly of any errors or omissions in respect of the accuracy of these documents. 
  8. COMPLAINTS

    1. SCL has its own complaints policy. If you want to complain, please contact the ISP first. If the complaint relates to services provided by SCL, SCL will provide the ISP with all necessary information to resolve the complaint. The ISP may ask SCL to take control or assist on the complaint if necessary.  
    2. If you do not think this is appropriate or the ISP is unable to meet its obligations, please contact SCL by email at secclops@seccl.tech or by post to the compliance officer, 20 Manvers Street, Bath, BA1 1JW. 
    3. If we do not resolve your complaint satisfactorily or fail to resolve it within eight weeks of receiving your complaint, you can also direct your complaint to the financial ombudsman service at: 
    4. Exchange Tower, London E14 9SR.  Telephone: 0800 023 4567 Or 0300 123 9 123;

  12. DATA PROTECTION 

    1. In acting as your custodian SCL will have access to the data you provide on application to the ISP service. In the service agreement between the ISP and SCL both parties are joint data controllers and have independent privacy policies which summarise how we will use your personal information and with whom we share it. 
    2. SCL will use your details for regulatory reporting purposes and will not use or share your information for marketing purposes.
  13. FSCS 

    1. The ISP is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS").

    3. Where services are provided by a third-party, SCL will use reasonable care and due diligence in selecting them and monitoring their performance. Except for clause 2.4, SCL does not guarantee proper performance by the third-party and will not itself be responsible if a third-party provider fails to meet its obligations. This means that should the third-party default or becomes insolvent, you may lose some or all of your assets and will not necessarily be entitled to compensation from SCL. Including, in circumstances where it is not possible under the relevant national law and the registration under clause 2.6 to identify the client assets from the proprietary assets of the third- party firm.

    2. SCL may also terminate the terms with immediate effect by written notice if required to do so for legal or regulatory reasons or on instructions from the ISP. 
    3. In this event, the ISP will instruct SCL where to transfer the client assets and client money. If the ISP does not do so promptly, or if the ISP no longer represents you, then you will on request give the relevant instruction. The custodian will transfer client assets and client money in accordance with the relevant instruction or, if it is unable to obtain instructions, it will transfer them directly to you. The terms will continue to apply until such transfer of the client assets and the client money is complete.
