1. Parties

Services are provided by Purle Consulting Solutions Ltd ("PCSL"), a company registered in England and Wales under company no. 16551028. Its registered office is 20 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU.

The engagement creates rights and obligations between PCSL and the client only. PCSL is solely responsible for the services it provides; no director, officer, employee or agent accepts personal responsibility for that work.

2. Professional standard

PCSL will exercise reasonable skill and care in carrying out agreed work. Financial regulation frequently includes principles-based or open-textured requirements, and the interpretation or application of those requirements may change. Advice is therefore based on the information and regulatory position available at the time it is given.

3. Scope of services

Services consist of regulatory consultancy and related assistance, primarily in the context of UK financial-services regulation. The scope of each task or project will normally be agreed in advance by reference to deliverables, time commitment or both.

Follow-up or related work is not included unless specifically agreed. PCSL may decline any task, project or requested time commitment.

4. Fees and payment

Rates, fixed fees where applicable, and any relevant VAT will be agreed for the engagement. Reasonable travel and other expenses or disbursements outside the agreed scope may be charged with the client's agreement.

Unless agreed otherwise, invoices are issued monthly and payment is due within 28 days.

5. Confidentiality, data and conflicts

PCSL will not share confidential information about the client's business with a third party without prior consent unless required to do so by law. The client must not use, copy or permit a third party to use PCSL's work for a purpose outside the engagement without prior permission.

Information may be retained for due-diligence purposes and to provide the agreed services. Where the work involves personal or financial information relating to the client's own clients or investors, it will be handled in accordance with applicable data-protection law and retained only as necessary.

PCSL seeks to identify and manage conflicts of interest. A potential conflict will be discussed with the client, and services may need to stop if duties to different clients cannot be reconciled.

6. Law and third-party rights

The engagement is governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.

No third party has a right to enforce these terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, except that a director, officer, employee or agent of PCSL may rely on the provisions concerning personal responsibility above.

If the client consists of more than one legal person, their obligations are joint and several. No variation is effective unless agreed in writing, except for changes in taxation that apply by law.

7. Ending an engagement

Either party may end the provision of services on one week's notice, subject to completion of any project-costed work or agreement of an appropriate part payment in lieu.
