Regulation

Royden & Co is neither regulated by the FSA nor any other regulatory body (“Regulator”) and nothing in any agreement between Royden & Co and its clients shall require Royden & Co to do any thing which would require Royden & Co to be regulated by a Regulator. 

In the event that an associate of Royden & Co anticipates commencing work which would require that associate or Royden & Co to be regulated then a contract of employment or other arrangements shall be created between the associate and the client so allowing the associate to act under the exemption for principals or otherwise.

It is agreed that the work done by Royden & Co shall be charged on a word by word and a minute by minute so that in the event that a contract of employment is created then the remuneration attaching to that contract of employment rather than this agreement shall be calculated pro rata to (a) the words and or minutes of time which without the contract of employment would have required the associate of Royden & Co to be regulated and (b) the other words and or minutes of time.

If it is held that a breach of a Regulator’s rules has occurred then any non-enforceability of a contract will only be applied to those words or minutes of time that constitute a breach.

Fee generation from both parties to a transaction

Royden & Co may be paid fees by both parties to a transaction and it is agreed that such a condition shall not constitute a breach of actual or implied contract.

Resolution of disputes

Disputes will be resolved by pendulum arbitration under a fair procedure and process to be set out by Royden & Co (after having consulted the other party(s) to the dispute(s)) and by an independent arbitrator appointed by Royden & Co (after having consulted the other party(s) to the dispute(s).
