These Nomo Investment Terms apply from 23.01.2023.

SECTION 1 : IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NOMO INVESTMENT CLIENTS

1. Things you need to know

1.1 This information is provided by Nomo (together with our Privacy policy and Notice, which can be found on our website (accessible from the Nomo App), and App Terms and Conditions of Use) and tells you about us and the legal terms and conditions and the risks that apply to our services.

1.2 Please read this Important Information carefully and make sure you understand it before signing up to use the Nomo Investments service. You will be asked to agree to the Nomo Investment Terms before you can access the service. If you do not accept the terms, you will not be able to use the service.

1.3 You should also refer to our risk disclosure, ‘Important Information and risk warning about investing in funds through Nomo’ and our Nomo Order Execution policy. Please read them carefully before you open your Nomo Account and submit any Orders. If you have any questions or doubts about any of the content of this Important Information or our Nomo Investment Terms, you should seek independent professional advice.

Please check the Terms periodically to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions which apply. You may request a copy of our Nomo Investment Terms from us at any time, including a paper copy.

2. About Nomo

2.2 BLME is a company registered in England & Wales. Its company registration number is 05897786. The registered office address is 20 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London E14 5HJ.

2.3 BLME is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

Nomo appears on the FCA Register under firm reference number 464292.

3. How to contact us

You can contact us via email (support@nomo.bank) or telephone (+44 20 3991 0400). Any changes to these contact details will be shown in the Nomo App. Further information is provided in Section 7 of our Nomo Investment Terms.

4. No Advice

4.1 When providing services via the Nomo App we are providing an execution-only (self-guided) service without advice in relation to non-complex Investments within the meaning of the FCA Rules. Nomo therefore does not have to assess the suitability or appropriateness of the Investments or service for you.

4.2 Nomo offers dealing in certain Investments (specifically funds) which are intended to be suitable for Sharia compliant investing. The financial instruments offered are open-ended investment funds, specifically funds called Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS). They are suitable for 'Retail' clients, as defined by UK regulation. Their value is subject to fluctuations in the financial markets, which are outside of Nomo's control. The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you originally invested. These funds are intended for medium – long term investment; they are not suitable for short-term savings purposes. You should not invest monies in this type of financial instrument which you need to use at short notice.

4.3 Although we may from time to time provide you with factual information about Investments, this information is not, and should not be interpreted as, advice.

4.4 You are solely responsible for the decisions you make in relation to your Orders. If you are uncertain as to whether an Investment is appropriate for your individual circumstances or needs, you should seek independent professional advice.

5. Order Execution and Custody

5.1 All Orders will be handled in accordance with our Order Execution policy. In accordance with our Order Execution policy, we will take all sufficient steps to ensure that we obtain the best possible result for you when executing your Order, taking into account certain factors, with price being the key factor for Retail clients.

5.2 Nomo holds your assets in custody for you. It is subject to the custody requirements of the FCA's Client Assets regulations.

5.3 Nomo uses a third-party provider (a regulated bank) to execute orders and provide custody services.

6. Fees and Charges

6.1 Fund fees: Fund managers typically apply an Ongoing Charge for fund management. Some charge Performance Fees where a certain benchmark is exceeded. Some fund managers also charge Entry and/or Exit Charges. Fund management fees are either included in the price of units (Ongoing Charges and Performance Fees) or deducted from the amount invested or redeemed (Entry and Exit Charges).

6.2 Nomo Platform Fee: Nomo charges a monthly investment service fee based on your average portfolio value. Nomo Platform Fees will be deducted from your Account.

6.3 Referral Fee: In some markets Nomo may make arrangements with local representatives to which it may pay commissions / referral fees. These would be paid from the fees charged to you by Nomo – your fees are the same whether or not Nomo pays some of them away to local representatives. This arrangement enables Nomo clients in these markets to use services which they might otherwise not be able to access. Nomo has a profit-sharing arrangement with Boubyan Bank in Kuwait in relation to clients introduced to Nomo by Boubyan Bank. This arrangement is not product-specific, so it’s not possible to identify how much the fee would be in relation to investment business.

7. Potential risks of using the Nomo App

7.1 Trading financial Investments involves an element of risk.

The value of your investment may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than your initial investment, and, in some cases, you may lose your entire initial investment. Past performance of an Investment is not a reliable indicator of its future performance.

7.2 Further details on the risks of trading in funds through your Nomo Account on the Nomo App are available in ‘Important Information and risk warning about investing in funds through Nomo’. Before using the Nomo App to submit Orders in relation to Funds, you should consider whether you have understood the risks detailed in that disclosure.

8. Availability of the Nomo App

Whilst we will try to make the Nomo App available to you without interruption, we cannot guarantee that the Nomo App will always be available to you. In these circumstances, your Orders may not be able to be submitted and you may not be able to monitor the Investments that you hold via the Nomo App.

9. Tax

Various tax regimes may apply to your trading in Investments depending on your personal tax status and the rules and regulations in force from time to time. You have the sole responsibility for determining the relevant tax impact on your trading and you should consult an appropriate professional advisor if you have any questions or doubts in this regard. Nomo does not provide tax advice.

10. Your finances

10.1 You should ensure that your personal finances are suitable for engaging in the buying and selling of Investments, and that you have the ability to bear any losses that may arise from your trading activity. You should not rely on being able to generate profits to pay down or relinquish any credit or financing you have arranged for the purposes of buying and selling Investments. You should not enter into any borrowing agreements in order to fund your purchase of Investments via the Nomo App.

10.2 If your Nomo Bank account is denominated in a currency other than your Base Currency (the currency of the country you live in and earn your main income in), you should be aware of the risk of fluctuations in the exchange rate between your Base Currency and the currency of the Nomo Account.

11. Voting rights

Although Investments can often have rights (commonly referred to as corporate actions) you should not assume that you will be able to exercise these rights. You may not have the opportunity to exercise any voting rights attached to those Investments. Please refer to Section 12 of the Nomo Investment Terms in Section 2.

12. Legal and Regulatory Changes

Changes to current legislation and regulations could give rise to changes in the price of Investments, which could impact your profits or losses. The impact of such legal and regulatory changes can be material and unexpected, and may impact certain companies, markets and jurisdictions more than others.

13. Cancellation

13.1 If you are resident in the UK, you can cancel the agreement between us on the Nomo Investment Terms within 14 days from having applied to open an Account. You can let us know by contacting us by email or telephone. If you have already invested through the Nomo App at this stage, the effect of cancellation will be to terminate the agreement with us and to close your Nomo Account. Nomo will sell your Investments and return the money from any sale to you. If the value of your Investments has fallen, you will not get back all the money you invested. You will also be liable for any costs we have to pay on your behalf in order to sell the Investments.

13.2 If you are resident outside the UK and apply for the Nomo App while outside the UK, you do not have any cancellation right for our Nomo App service, but you can terminate the agreement between us and close your Nomo Account on the basis set out in the Nomo Investment Terms.

13.3 You can place ‘buy’ orders for an amount in currency terms in the currency of the fund or place ‘sell’ orders for a number of units. Having placed an order, you have no contractual right to withdraw it. However, if you place an order in error, Nomo will use reasonable endeavours to cancel it before it is executed. If you want to request Nomo to cancel an order, you are advised to get in touch at the earliest opportunity.

14. Protections

14.1 Retail client: Nomo Investments will categorise you as a 'Retail' client. Put simply, this means you are an individual investor (not a corporate body or institution) and you will have the protections afforded to 'Retail' clients by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.

14.2 Client Money: Any money which we receive from or for you and hold for you in your Account is held by us as banker and not as trustee under the FCA’s rules on Client Money. If we were to become insolvent, the FCA’s rules on Client Money distribution would not apply to the sums credited to your Account, so you would not be entitled to share in any distribution under those rules.

14.3 FSCS: Your investments with Nomo may be covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS pays compensation for protected investment business if a regulated firm is unable to meets its financial obligations. Most types of investment business are covered for 100% of the first £85,000 per person per firm. The FSCS does not cover any fall in the market value of investments that have been incurred. You can find more information about FSCS protection at www.fscs.org.co.uk.

15. Complaints

15.1 Should you have a complaint, please notify us. We will arrange for the matter to be investigated in accordance with the rules of the FCA.

8.4 We maintain various risk limits and tolerances that govern whether or not we will accept an Order.

12. Corporate actions

12.1 We will use reasonable endeavours to promptly notify you of a corporate action notified to us by a fund, fund manager or third party where relevant. There may be instances when we are not notified of a corporate action (or are not provided with sufficient information in time by them) and as a result are unable to pass on the details to you. In such circumstances, we will not be liable to you for any loss suffered.

12.2 When a mandatory corporate action is announced where no option is available to shareholders and no firm payment date is known in advance, we will notify you only after the new Investments or cash have been received and credited to your Account.

13. Provision of information via the Nomo App

13.1 We will provide you with information about Investments available on the Nomo App. This will include providing access to the third-party fund manager’s Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for the Fund. All Information is and remains our property or the property of our third-party licensors. We are not responsible for the KIID documents provided to you which are the responsibility of the third-party fund or fund manager or a distributor.

13.2 After you have invested, we do not have to provide you with updated KIIDs or other information but we will use reasonable efforts to do so where possible.

13.3 You will be able to access the KIID for Investments via the Nomo App. Other documentation relating to a Fund may be available in the public domain, such as the prospectus. We are not responsible for providing these, but you may wish to access them if further information is required.

14. Transfers and withdrawals

You will not be permitted to transfer your investments at any time.

SECTION 5 : PAYING FOR TRANSACTIONS AND HOW WE HOLD YOUR INVESTMENTS

1. Funding your transactions

1.1 In order to open a Nomo Account for investment via the Nomo App you will need to have opened your Nomo Bank Current Account. Your transactions in Investments will be funded from this bank account. If you or we close your Current Account for any reason your Nomo Account will also be closed and you will not be able to use our investment services.

1.2 When you want to place an Order via the Nomo App for an investment you must have sufficient funds on your Current Account for the Order. If you do not have sufficient funds, you must initiate a transfer of sufficient funds to your Current Account. If you do not do this and there are insufficient funds on your Current Account when required to settle an Order then the Order will not take place. We do not provide you with credit to fund your transactions through the Nomo App.

1.3 When you submit an Order to buy an investment, an estimated amount you are required to pay in relation to that Order is blocked (or “earmarked”) in your Current Account immediately on submission of the Order; the exact amount is then payable when the Order is settled. The exact amount may be lower than the amount blocked but we will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that the blocked amount is as accurate as is reasonably possible. The blocked amount will show on your Current Account statement but will not be available for you to use. This prevents your Current Account from becoming overdrawn (in accordance with our Nomo Current Account Terms and Conditions overdrafts are not permitted).

1.4 We will only block your Account under paragraph 1.3 for the shortest period necessary to allow us (or a delegate or a third-party broker) to execute the Order and, in doing so, we will notify you of the temporary block to be placed on your Account in advance through the Nomo App.

1.5 You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to procure a deduction of value from your Current Account so as to effect payment for your Orders if we need to. This may include any additional amounts required to settle trades in the event an Order is ultimately executed at a different price to the indicative price quoted i.e. in the event of a market move following transmission of an order

2. How we will hold your money

2.1 We do not operate a separate cash account specifically for you to fund your Nomo App investments. Payments for investments are made directly from your Current Account. Payments arising from your investments or on sale or redemption of your investments are credited direct to your Current Account.

2.2 Any money which we receive from or for you (e.g., any distributions on Investments) is credited to your Current Account in accordance with our Nomo Current Account Terms and Conditions. Cash we hold for you is always held by us as banker and not as trustee under the FCA’s rules on client money. If we were to become insolvent, the FCA’s rules on client money distribution would not apply to the sums credited to your Current Account, so you will not be entitled to share in any distribution under those rules. Instead, you may benefit from protection under Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”).

2.3 When opening your Current Account, we will have supplied you with a FSCS Eligibility Information Sheet which provides information on and explains the protection of your eligible deposits in the case of our insolvency. Compensation for deposits you hold with us, including your Current Account and other bank accounts is subject to a maximum potential claim of £85,000.

2.4 We may debit from your Current Account any payment we have made to which you are not entitled.

3. How we will hold your Investments

3.1 We provide custody for the Investments in your Portfolio under these Nomo Investment Terms. We will hold them for you in safe custody in accordance with the FCA Rules. This means that they will be kept separate from our own Investments. We will keep records to show that that we hold them on your behalf and that they do not belong to us.

3.2 We may hold your Investments with a third party (such as our global sub-custodian) on our behalf and you authorise us to do so where we reasonably consider it appropriate or necessary.

3.3 We will use all skill, care and diligence in selecting, appointing and periodically reviewing third parties, including our global sub-custodian, and will be responsible for any failure by us to exercise such skill, care and diligence in their selection, appointment and review. Where we have taken all skill, care and diligence in their appointment, we shall not be liable for any of their acts or omissions. We cannot ensure that you would not lose any Investments if they went insolvent and are not responsible for any loss arising from their insolvency.

3.4 We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your Investments are identified as held for you so, rather than us or the third-party custodian. We will make sure your and other clients’ Investments are identifiable separately from our Investments and Investments belonging to any third party by using differently titled accounts or other measures that secure the same level of protection for you and our other clients.

3.5 Your Investments (i.e., units or shares in Funds) will usually be registered in the name of a nominee controlled by our global sub-custodian (a bank to which we have delegated certain aspects of the provision of the Nomo App and services).

3.6 Registration in the name of a nominee controlled by our global sub-custodian or a third party may mean you lose incentives and shareholder benefits attaching to your Investments.

3.7 When registration in the name of the nominee of our global sub-custodian is not possible, they will be registered in the name of a third party by our global sub-custodian as permitted by the FCA Rules. This may include holding in the name of the global sub-custodian or its sub-custodian located outside the UK where our global sub-custodian has taken reasonable steps to determine that it is in your best interests to do so, or that it is not feasible to do otherwise, because of the nature of the applicable law or market practice.

3.8 Where your investments are held by our global sub-custodian or its own sub-custodian, your Investments will be pooled with the investments of other clients in a bulk nominee holding or single custody account. This means that your entitlement to any Investment may not be identifiable by a separate certificate, other physical document of title or electronic record. Accordingly, if there is a default by the global sub-custodian, its nominee or any sub-custodian resulting in a shortfall, you may only receive a pro rata share of your full entitlement.

3.9 If your Investments are held in a jurisdiction outside of the United Kingdom your rights may differ as a result. If local law does not allow your Investments to be held separately from ours or from those of the sub-custodian then you might be at risk of greater loss in case of the sub-custodian’s insolvency.

3.10 Your Investments will only be deposited by us or by our global sub-custodian with a non-UK custodian if they are based in a jurisdiction which regulates safekeeping of Investments and they are so regulated unless the nature of the Investment or services relating to them requires the Investments to be deposited with a third party in that jurisdiction.

3.11 Our global sub-custodian and any other third-party sub-custodian (including a depositary) may have a security interest, lien, right of set-off or similar rights over your Investments under their standard terms, where permitted under applicable regulatory requirements. Our global sub custodian is only entitled to a security interest, lien, right of set off and similar rights to cover exposures incurred in relation to the services provided by it and in accordance with the FCA rules. Other sub-custodians may have wider rights if required by applicable law in a third country jurisdiction in which it holds your Investments. We will tell you about the risks of third parties holding liens and other rights over your Investments which include them being able to reduce your Investments to recover payments due to them.

3.12 You cannot use your Investments held by us as security for a loan without our prior written consent.

3.13 In certain circumstances, and subject to applicable laws and regulatory requirements, we may cease to treat any Investments held on your behalf as safe custody investments, and (i) liquidate these Investments at market value and pay away the proceeds or (ii) directly pay away these Investments, in either case, to a registered charity of our choice, or, where applicable legislation or FCA Rules allow, a Reclaim Fund. We may only do this if:

(A) We have held your Investments for at least twelve years and there have been no instructions received by us in relation to the Investments during the twelve years immediately before being paid away to the registered charity or Reclaim Fund; and

(B) We have taken reasonable steps to trace you and return the Investments to you.

3.14 If you contact us after we have paid away your Investments to charity, we will return a sum equal to the value of your Investments at the time they are liquidated or paid away to charity.

3.15 We may reclaim from your Investment Account any Investment we have allocated to you to which you are not entitled.

4. Reporting to you on your money and Investments

4.1 We hold your Investments as custodian and your cash in your Current Account as banker. We do not hold your money as Client Money (within the meaning of the FCA Rules) at any time.

4.2 We will make statements available to you monthly within your Nomo App and by email which will show the current balances of Investments in your Portfolio. If you require an additional statement at a different interval then this available from us on request. There may be a charge as indicated in our Nomo tariff of charges from time to time.

4.3 You must tell us as soon as possible of any errors contained in any statement you have received. In the absence of manifest error, all statement will be conclusive and binding on you unless you notify us in email within five (5) Business Days of the date of the statement that you disagree with its contents, or we notify you of an error in the statement within the same period.

SECTION 6 : SETTING UP AND USING YOUR NOMO APP

1. Functionality of the Nomo App

The features of the Nomo App and the way it works may change and so our explanations and information for your reference are provided outside these Nomo Investment Terms in our “How to” guides and FAQs which can be accessed through the Nomo App and on our Nomo website.

4.2 Unless you have informed us otherwise, we are entitled to treat every action taken via your Account as an action authorised and undertaken by you.

5. Information we provide through the Nomo App

We may provide you with various market data and other information about Investments to enhance your use of the Nomo App. This market data may include historical data about prices of Investments, industry and sector trends and analysis on various companies and Investments. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. In no circumstances should any of this information be construed or interpreted as us giving you advice or providing you with a recommendation of any kind. We do not take any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any market data or other such information provided to you via the Nomo App and we are not liable to you for any actions taken by you or not taken by you as a result of your use of any such information.

6. Information we require from you

6.1 To apply for an Account, you must provide us with such information about you as we request, so that we can identify you, verify your identity and conduct fraud checks, sanctions checks, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism checks and any other names list checks required of us by law or regulation or to meet our risk based financial crime procedures (including our anti-bribery and corruption controls).

6.2 The evidence we use as part of our Nomo App onboarding process will usually be collected electronically, but as we are required to keep your account under review, we may later ask you for additional information and evidence in such form as we reasonably require to manage our risk in connection with your Account. We may, in particular, be required to carry out enhanced due diligence in certain scenarios and this may require you to give us more information and records, e.g., about the source of your wealth or bank funds or your links with politicians. You authorise us to make the enquiries we reasonably think we need to verify your identity and manage financial crime and fraud risk.

6.3 You authorise us to make enquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we reasonably consider necessary to verify your identity or protect you and/or us against fraud or other financial crime, and to take such action as we reasonably deem necessary based on the results of such enquiries. When we carry out these enquiries, you acknowledge that your personal information may be disclosed to credit reference and fraud prevention or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our enquiries in full.

6.4 You acknowledge and agree that you will provide us with all information which we may reasonably request of you from time to time for the purposes disclosed above and that we may make and hold a record of this information as required by applicable law.

6.5 You also acknowledge that it is possible our delegate(s) (including our global sub-custodian) may also request additional information for you for the purposes of conducting its own identity and verification checks in accordance with applicable law. You authorise us to share such information with them as required.

6.6 Since we need personal information about you to ensure that we are acting in accordance with the law and regulations that apply to us, the information you have given us must be kept up to date. So please tell us as soon as there is a change in information that identifies you (such as your name, address, bank, mobile phone number or address in particular) or if any document you have provided is or becomes false, inaccurate or incomplete. If you don’t, you may not be able to access the Nomo App or use your Account. Data provided to us will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

6.7 Although we are not currently required by law or regulation to assess the suitability or appropriateness of Investments for you, we may determine it is prudent for us to obtain or may in future be required to obtain certain information on your knowledge and experience of certain Investments prior to your executing Order through the Nomo App. We will inform you and request such information on your knowledge and/or experience as we deem necessary to provide our services. You acknowledge and agree that you will provide all such information as may be reasonably requested by us for the purposes of us conducting such assessment. If you do not provide such information, we are under no obligation to execute any orders in such Investments and we may refuse to do so.

6.8 In order to satisfy our own obligations in relation to the Orders you may submit you also agree to provide us with all such information as we may reasonably request. This information will, among other information, typically include your National Insurance Number (if a UK citizen), your passport number or your taxation reference number, or equivalent.

6.9 You acknowledge and agree that we are entitled to disclose information about you and your Orders and Positions as may be required under applicable law. Any information we obtain about your Orders and Positions as a result of your use of the Nomo App shall be our sole and exclusive property.

7. Availability of the Nomo App

7.1 We cannot guarantee that access to, or trading though the Nomo App will be available at all times or without delay. You acknowledge that our Nomo App service may be interrupted and the services available may be variable in certain circumstances.

7.2 We may suspend the operation of our Nomo App service where we consider it necessary, including (but not limited to) where we have to suspend operations for technical problems, emergencies, maintenance, regulatory reasons, where we decide it is sensible for our customers’ protection, in periods of exceptional trading activity or to ensure the continued availability of other services.

7.3 We will not be liable to you if our systems or services are unavailable to you for trading or information purposes for whatever reason.

7.4 Whilst Nomo aims to make the Nomo App available to you on a continuous basis, we cannot guarantee that the Nomo App will be available to you continuously, meaning there may be instances where you cannot submit Orders and monitor your Positions.

7.5 We may modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Nomo App with or without notice. We reserve the right, at any time and for any reason, to discontinue, redesign, modify, enhance or change the way we offer the Nomo App including without limitation the structure, specifications, look and feel, navigation, features and other elements of the App or any part of it. We will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Nomo App.

7.6 We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage which arises from the Nomo App being unavailable, save where it is our fault. Where the Nomo App is unavailable as a result of scheduled or urgent maintenance work, we will try, where practical, to give you advance notice of that unavailability so you can plan around it. 7.7 It is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to access the Nomo App from an appropriate device. You should be aware that connectivity to the Nomo App may vary depending on your internet or network connection, and if you have a poor or weak connection, you may not be able to submit Orders and monitor your Positions with the same speed as you would otherwise be able to with a stronger connection.

8. How we deal with personal information about you

8.1 Nomo is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

8.2 By using the Nomo App and our services, you acknowledge that Nomo will collect, use, process and disclose your personal information (including your name, contact details and account details) in accordance with Nomo' privacy policy and notice, which is available (Privacy Policy). This may include transferring your personal information outside the UK. Where this occurs, we will take all reasonable steps to make sure that your personal information is handled securely and in line with our privacy policy and data-protection laws.

9. Fees and charges and taxes for transactions on the Nomo App

9.1 Details of applicable fees and charges which are levied for transactions in Investments are provided in our Nomo App and in paragraph 6 of Section 1 of these Nomo Investment Terms. Fees and charges will only be applied for Orders which have been executed.

9.2 As our fees and charges are based on your transactions in Investments and the size of your Portfolio from time to time we cannot detail the exact fees and charges but only the method of calculating it.

9.3 Our fees and charges are stated inclusive of tax, where applicable.

9.4 We may deduct our fees and charges from your Current Account. If there are insufficient funds in your Current Account then we will ask you to transfer funds to meet the fees and charges that are due and payable. If you do not make the necessary transfer to us within a reasonable period of our request and we have reminded you on at least one occasion then we shall have the right to sell some of your Investments at our discretion in order to fund the fees and charges you owe us.

9.5 All payments due to us by you must be made in immediately available funds to the account we designate without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction. If you make any deduction or withholding you shall pay such additional amount as shall ensure we receive the full amount due without the deduction or withholding.

9.6 You will at all times be fully responsible for payment of all taxes due, for making all claims, for filing any tax returns and for providing any relevant tax authorities with information in relation to the services we carry out for you or any investments you have.

9.7 You should be aware that it is possible other taxes or costs may exist that are not paid via Nomo or imposed by it.

9.8 If we provide a new service or facility in connection with your Nomo Account then we may introduce a new charge for providing you with that service or facility.

9.9 We may change our charges or introduce a new charge if there is a change in (or we reasonably expect that there will be a change in):

(A) The costs we incur in carrying our services for you; and

(B) The regulatory requirements that apply to us in relation to our services under these Nomo Investment Terms.

9.10 Any change or new charge will be a fair proportion, at reasonable estimated by us, of the impact of the underlying change on the costs we incur in providing our services.

9.11 We may also change our charges for another valid reason which is not set out here, provided we are acting fairly.

9.12 Changes to our fees and charges will be made in accordance with clause 18 in Section 7 below.

SECTION 7 : OUR RELATIONSHIP

1. Your acknowledgements, representations and warranties

1.1 When you apply to obtain an Account and then on each occasion you place an Order you acknowledge, represent and warrant that:

(A) you are eligible to open an Account and have capacity to do so; you must be at least 18 years old to do so;

(B) you act on your own behalf and not on behalf of someone else;

(C) information and documents you provide to us are true, accurate and not misleading;

(D) you will not upload or transmit any malicious code to the Nomo App or otherwise use any electronic device, software, algorithm and/or dealing method or strategy to manipulate any aspect of the Nomo App platform;

(G) you will hold Investments for yourself only and not for the benefit (or as nominee or for the account) of any third parties;

(H) you will not be using monies obtained from any US Persons.

1.2 Market manipulation for this purpose means using the Nomo App alone or with others to try and artificially inflate or deflate the price of a publicly traded Investment or otherwise influencing the behaviour of the relevant market for personal gain. Insider dealing means, broadly, trading in or encouraging others to trade in a publicly traded Investment when you have material non-public information which might be price sensitive in relation to that Investment for any reason.

2. Delegation by Nomo

We may appoint another person to perform all or part of the services provided through the Nomo App provided that we take all reasonable steps to ensure that the delegate is suitably competent and qualified to do so and this will not affect our liability to you for the services or activities we have delegated. We will not require your consent to delegate any part of our services but we will ensure that our delegation does not have a materially negative effect on you and will comply with applicable law and the FCA rules.

3. Referrals

3.1 Where appropriate, we may offer to refer you to third parties to provide certain additional services. We will not make any such referral without your agreement.

3.2 We may pay (or receive from third parties), fees in relation to referrals of business. In making or receiving any such referral and making or receiving such payments, we will act in accordance with the FCA Rules and all applicable laws.

4. No Fiduciary Duty

4.1 Notwithstanding our obligations in relation to managing conflicts of interest for you (see Clause 5 on Conflicts of Interest) and our other obligations under these Nomo Investment Terms, nothing in these terms creates any kind of fiduciary relationship between you and us.

4.2 You agree that we may act for other clients in a wide range of transactions with interests that differ from, or conflict with, yours. You also agree that we will not be required to disclose to you information known to us that is confidential to those parties and may be relevant to your interests.

5. Conflicts of Interest

We take the identification, prevention and management of conflicts of interest seriously. We have implemented a conflicts of interest policy that identifies those circumstances that constitute, or may give rise to, conflicts of interest which pose a material risk of damage to one or more of our customers. This policy also addresses the effective organisational and administrative arrangements that we maintain and operate to prevent and manage these conflicts. Summary details of our conflicts of interest policy are provided on the app. Further details are available on request.

6. If conflicts of interest arise

Our Conflicts of Interest Policy or a summary is provided within the Nomo App for your reference. It describes some of the actual or potential conflicts of interest which may arise and provides our policy about how these are managed. We will update our policy from time to time on the Nomo App and/ or on our website and you may request the latest policy summary from us at any time. If we have a conflict then we will manage it to ensure that it does not affect the transactions in Investments we carry out for you. If we consider that we cannot adequately manage a conflict we will let you know and we may need to take action, which could include end your use of the Nomo App.

7. Contacting each other

7.1 If you need to speak to us, or if we need to speak to you, in relation to any matters arising out of or in connection with these Nomo Investment Terms, we will do so via the messaging functionality, chat bot or other facility available to you in the Nomo App from time to time. We may also use the email address you provide to us when creating your Account to send you documents or other information.

7.2 We may record and monitor telephone conversations that we have with you. We will store recordings in accordance with applicable law, and / or for as long as we consider necessary to be able to provide the Nomo App to you. This will be for a minimum of 5 years and potentially longer if requested by the FCA.

8. Electronic communication

You confirm that you are happy to receive communications, reports, contract notes and other information from us, including our policies (such as our Order Handling Policy) electronically via email or via the Nomo App or where relevant, our website where it meets the necessary requirements on us to deliver information to you in a “durable medium”.

9. Changes to these Nomo Investment Terms?

9.1 We may make changes to these Nomo Investment Terms from time to time. For example, we might need to add new terms or amend existing terms to reflect changes in our business, services or products or how we provide them (e.g., if we add new order types you can use such as limit orders), the systems we use, the cost to us of providing the services, applicable law or regulation or good industry practice or other valid reasons.

9.2 If we add a new term or change an existing term, we will take reasonable steps to provide you with reasonable notice, including via our Nomo App and website. You will be deemed to accept and agreement to the changes if you continue to use the Nomo App after we have notified you of the changes to these Nomo Investment Terms. If you do not agree to changes, we have made then you can terminate your Account and our agreement on these terms at any time as provided in clause 11 below.

10.2 We will only transfer any of your and our rights or obligations under these Nomo Investment Terms with you to a third party (including a company in our group) if we reasonably think that this won't have a significant negative effect on your rights under these terms and conditions or we need to do so to keep to any legal or regulatory requirement.

(C) Any notice sent by first class mail within the UK, two (2) Business Days after the date of posting, or if sent from or to a place outside the UK, ten (10) Business Days after posting.

However, where we reasonably think this has happened with an electronic communication sent from you, we may try to confirm the communication with you.

11.6 For security, legitimate business purposes, to maintain service standards and to make sure we comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to us, we may record or monitor electronic Communications, and any use of our website. Copies of recordings with you will be available on request for a period of five years and, where requested by the FCA or any other competent authority, for a period of up to 7 or more years.

11.7 We may treat any instruction received by electronic communication as being fully authorised by, and binding on, you, irrespective of whether or not that instruction was in fact made in your knowledge or issued by you or your Authorised Representative; and we are not obliged to ask you for proof of identity or confirmation of your instructions when we receive an electronic communication.

12. Confidentiality and Data Protection

12.1 Neither we nor any Nomo representatives owe you any duty to disclose to you any fact, matter or thing which comes to our notice or that of their respective employees, directors or agents in the course of rendering services similar to our Nomo investment services to others, or in the event that such disclosure would be a breach of confidence to any other person,

12.2 To provide you with products and services, Nomo needs to collect, use, process and store personal and financial information about you which includes personal data as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation as implemented in the UK (the “UK GDPR”).

Details of what personal data we may hold and how we use it, as well as your rights, are set out in our “Privacy Notice”, which can be accessed on our website at www.nomobank.com, or else we can provide you with a copy upon request by contacting us in writing at Nomo, Cannon Place, 78 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6HL.

12.4 We may be requested to divulge to a fund manager or issuer details of the beneficial ownership of units or securities. Where such disclosure is required under a contract with the fund manager or issuer which we have entered into on your behalf as agent, is deemed to be in your best interests (e.g., so as to avoid a penalty or restriction on your rights) or is required by Applicable Law, we will disclose such data without further recourse to you. Where we feel that it is necessary in our absolute discretion, we may seek your consent before disclosing your data.

13. Third Party Rights

A person who is not a party to the agreement between us under these Nomo Investment Terms will have no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 in the UK or otherwise to enforce any of its terms.

14. Termination and suspension

14.1 You can stop your use of the Nomo App and end the agreement between us on these Nomo Investment Terms at any time and for any reason by providing us with notice, subject to the settlement of all outstanding transactions in Investments. Transactions already in progress will be completed in the normal course of business. We will close your Account as soon as practicable after receiving your notice to terminate the agreement between us.

14.4 We can close your Account by giving you 30 days notice in writing by email or through any Nomo App secure message centre. We can also close your Account and end our agreement on these Nomo Investment Terms at any time, giving you notice to the extent reasonably practicable, if:

(A) we reasonably believe that providing you with the Nomo App exposes us to action or censure from any law enforcement, government or regulatory body, including the FCA; or

(B) there are exceptional circumstances, including without limitation if:

(1) We have good reason to consider you are behaving fraudulently or otherwise criminally;

(2) We have reasonable grounds to consider that you are seeking to use your Account to manipulate or to induce others (whether alone or in concert with other persons) to manipulate the market relevant to the Investments you hold.

(3) You haven't given us (or someone acting on our behalf) any information we need, or we have good reason to believe that information you have provided is incorrect or not true;

(4) If you've broken these terms and conditions (including breach of the representations and warranties you have given in these terms and conditions) in a serious or persistent way and you haven't put the matter right within a reasonable time of us asking you to;

(5) If we have good reason to believe that your use of the Nomo App is harmful to us or our software, systems or hardware;

(6) We have asked you to repay money you owe us and you have not done so within a reasonable period of time;

(7) You have closed your Nomo current account that is required as a condition of eligibility to use our investment services; or

(8) If you've been declared bankrupt.

14.5 If any of the grounds above arise then we may also decide to suspend your use of the Account for a period, but this will not prevent us from subsequently closing it.

14.6 We will not be responsible for losses resulting from us failing to meet our obligations under this agreement because of exceptional circumstances requiring us to terminate our agreement and close your Account (or suspend it), because of a legal or regulatory requirement or because of unforeseeable events outside our control, which were unavoidable at the time.

14.7 You will need to reimburse us for any losses caused to us as a direct result of your negligence, fraud or wilful default or material breach of these Nomo Investment Terms.

14.8 If we end our agreement with you and your Account then we will inform you in writing that we have done so immediately and will explain why, subject to any applicable law or regulation preventing us from doing so.

14.9 If you have broken the agreement between you and us and we don't enforce our rights, or we delay in enforcing them, this will not prevent us from enforcing those or any other rights at a later date.

14.10 In addition to our termination rights above, we can also take other forms of action if we have reasonable grounds to suspect you are using the Nomo App to commit market abuse, including market manipulation or insider dealing or to encourage others to do so. Action we may take includes (but is not limited to) suspending your Account for a period (which may be indefinite if we deem that necessary acting reasonably) or limiting features of your use of the Nomo App.

14.11 If the agreement between us under these Nomo Investment Terms is terminated, for whatever reason and whether by you or us, such termination is without prejudice to the rights, duties and liabilities of a party accrued prior to termination. Any provisions in these Nomo Investment Terms which expressly or impliedly have effect after termination shall continue to be enforceable notwithstanding termination.

14.12 If we are providing you with custody services, then following termination, you must tell us whether you want the Investments we are holding for you transferred to another custodian or sold. If you do not tell us, we will sell your Investments and pay the proceeds of sale into your Nomo bank account.

15. Dormant accounts

15.1 If you do not use your Account for 12 months, then we may mark your Account as dormant and stop sending you confirmations and statements. We can also mark your Account as dormant if all our messages are undelivered and all our attempts to contact you have failed.

15.2 If your account remains dormant for two years, we’ll close it without telling you and move any Investments and money you have in your account to a suspense account held by us. You can contact us and claim your money that is held in our suspense account at any time without receiving any profit.

16. Variations

16.1 Nomo may change any of the provisions in these Nomo Investment Terms for any or all of the following reasons:

If due to a regulatory requirement the change must be effective earlier, the change will become effective on the required date but we will still tell you about the change. We will tell you about any changes by emailing you at the email account you have provided to us or by writing to you personally at the last address you have notified to us. If you do not tell us you object to a change during the one-month notice period, you will be deemed to have accepted such change with effect from the end of the notice period.

16.3 If you object to any change, you must tell us in writing within one month of receiving our notification of changes. We will treat this as your request to terminate the relevant services you have in place with us. We will not charge you for this termination. Unless made with immediate or earlier effect further to a regulatory requirement, the changes will not apply to these Terms during that one-month period.

16.4 Except as provided in these Nomo Investment Terms, no provision of the terms shall be deemed waived, altered, modified or amended unless we otherwise agree with you in writing.

16.5 Nomo’s failure to insist on you strictly complying with these Nomo Investment Terms or any act or omission on our part will not amount to a waiver of our rights under these terms.

17. Sharia Compliance

17.1 Our services and Investments offered on the Nomo App are intended to be Sharia compliant and accordingly you agree that, notwithstanding any right by contract or under law or regulation, neither you nor Nomo shall claim or receive from the other any payment that is in the form of interest and each party expressly agrees not to claim any such right. You may wish to consult your own Sharia advisers in deciding whether the services available via the Nomo App and the Investments available comply with Sharia principles.

18. Death or incapacity of a Nomo Account holder

18.1 If you die, we will suspend your Account as soon as we can once we are notified about your death by a person with due authority and necessary evidence (such as a death certificate which should be translated into English if it is in another language). The value of your Positions in your Investment Account, and any funds remaining in your Current Account, may form part of your estate and, subject to our receiving appropriate confirmation from an appropriate representative responsible for the management of your estate, we may act on the instructions given to us by such representatives.

18.2 We are not liable to you for any loss or damage incurred by you in relation to your Positions whilst we await instructions from any of your representatives. This agreement between us on these Nomo Investment Terms shall continue in full force and effect after your death, until such time as your Account is closed and the agreement between us on these terms is terminated.

18.3 If you become incapacitated (through illness or injury), and you have validly appointed a person (such as an attorney (under a lasting power of attorney) or deputy (under a deputyship order)) to manage your affairs we can release funds to that person, and we may ask for evidence of this appointment. If no person is validly appointed to operate the account, then we may freeze your accounts until this has been done.

19. Entire agreement

19.1 The Agreement sets out the entire agreement and understanding between you and us with respect to its subject matter. It replaces all previous agreements and understandings between you and us with respect to its subject matter, which will cease to have any further force or effect on the Commencement Date of the Agreement.

19.2 This clause will not exclude or limit any liability or remedy in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation or any duty or liability we have to you under regulatory requirements.
