Please read and accept the Terms & Conditions by completing the form at the end of the document. 

  1. INTRODUCTION

This agreement sets out the terms under which our Services are to be provided.

Planned Future Wellbeing Ltd is a leading provider of financial guidance and education. We aim to improve financial literacy for individuals whatever their financial circumstances or status and empower people to make informed, intelligent financial decisions. We offer you an initial 30-minute consultation at a fixed fee which is notified to you at the time of booking. Following our initial discussion, should you decide to book further appointments, the cost for our services is set out in the applicable Email Confirmation.

  1. DEFINITIONS

“Ad Hoc Support” means Services that are provided to you on an individual engagement basis.

“Email Confirmation” means an email exchange between you and us to confirm the Services to be provided by us to you.

“Initial Period” has the meaning given to it in clause 4.

“Ongoing Support” means Services that are provided to you on a subscription period basis.

“Planned Future”, “we”, “our” or “us” means Planned Future Wellbeing Ltd (company number 09367736).

“Privacy Policy” means Planned Future’s privacy policy which is set out on our website here: https://plannedfuture.co.uk/privacy-policy/.

“You” and “your” means a client user of the Services.

  1. OUR SERVICE

We will provide financial guidance and education services to you. Financial guidance and education is the process of providing information, signposting, guidance and considering your options on a wide range of financial issues. Our service is impartial. We will not provide any personal recommendations and any investment and/or financial decision made by you will be yours. Where relevant, we will explain the different options available and outline the pros and cons of each. We can provide signposting information to you and provide help with using products and services that are available direct to consumers, but we do so without recommending such products or services. Where appropriate, we can at your request refer you to regulated financial advisers or legal or tax advisers . Every element of our Services is designed to empower you to make your own informed financial decisions, for example understanding your pension scheme options and considering whether you are on track to achieve your financial goals. Following your initial 30-minute consultation, we offer both Ad Hoc Support and Ongoing Support services.

  1. COMMENCEMENT aND TERM

This agreement shall commence on the date that you indicate agreement by email to an Email Confirmation and shall remain in force until terminated in accordance with the Cancellation section below.

Where you have subscribed to Ongoing Support, on the expiry of the initial subscription period (the “Initial Period”) for such Service, this agreement renews automatically for successive periods of such subscription period (each a “Renewal Period”) unless:

  • either party gives the other party not less than 30 days’ notice to terminate prior to the end of the Initial Period or Renewal Period (as applicable), in which case this agreement ends on the expiry of the Initial Period or the then-current Renewal Period (as applicable); or
  • unless terminated earlier in accordance with accordance with Cancellation Section
  1. FEES

Following your initial consultation, should you decide to book further appointments, the fees for our Services are set out in the Email Confirmation.

You must pay the fees for the Services to Planned Future within the period specified in the Email Confirmation or, if no such period is specified, within 7 days following the issue of an invoice by Planned Future.

You must pay the fees by bank transfer or by such other form of payment as agreed by the Planned Future (using such payment details as are notified by Planned Future to you from time to time).

If you do not pay any amount properly due to Planned Future under this agreement and/or an Email Confirmation, Planned Future may charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time (which interest will accrue daily until the date of actual payment and be compounded at the end of each calendar month).

Changes to fees

 

We may increase the fees for our Services from time to time by providing written notice to you. If you are an Ongoing Support client, where we do make changes to the fees, those changes will not affect you until your subscription is next due for renewal.

  1. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

 

Any guidance and education provided by us will be based on the information that you give to us, so it is vital that you provide us with accurate information about your circumstances and objectives. If you provide inaccurate information to us, it could affect the suitability of the guidance and education given. You agree that we shall have no liability to you in the event that any information you provide to us is inaccurate or misleading.

  1. CANCELLATION

Where you are a user of Ad Hoc Support services, we may terminate this agreement by giving you at least 10 business days’ written notice. Where you are a user of Ad Hoc Support services, you may terminate this agreement at any time, without penalty. Notice of this termination must be given in writing and will take effect from the date of receipt. Termination is without prejudice to any Services already provided to you. You will be liable to pay for any Services provided to you prior to termination and any fees outstanding, if applicable.

 

Ongoing Support

Where you are a user of Ongoing Support services, you may terminate this agreement at any time by simply informing us in writing. However we reserve the right to charge you for any unused credits in relation to the remainder of the Initial Period or Renewal Period, whichever is applicable. Termination is without prejudice to any Services already provided to you. You will be liable to pay for any Services provided to you prior to termination and any fees outstanding, if applicable.

  1. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

Financial guidance is not an activity that is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and neither we nor our directors, officers, employees or agents are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Planned Future will not offer any advice that is regulated or conduct any other regulated activity, including without limitation holistic advice, simplified advice, advising on which funds to invest in, which mortgage or insurance products to purchase or whether or not to transfer a pension. This means that it is your responsibility to ensure that the actions you take as a result of our financial guidance are right for you. You will not be covered by the government’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme with respect to our Services or by Planned Future if something goes wrong.

If you require regulated services, we may at your request notify a third party of your requirements and refer you to such third party individual or organisation that offers or provides regulated financial advice. If you have more complex needs such that the Services are not suitable, then we may help you find a suitable third party adviser for such needs.

We are not responsible for any guidance, advice or recommendations given to you by a third party adviser, including any third party financial advisers you are referred to by us. If you choose to speak to a third party adviser, you will have to agree to their terms and conditions which are independent of and separate to the terms of this agreement you have with us.

Except for any liability arising from (a) death or personal injury caused by negligence; or (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other matter for which it would be illegal or void at law for a party to limit or exclude its liability, we exclude and do not accept any liability to you in connection with any loss or damage caused, or alleged to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by the guidance, information, signposting  or options contained, considered or referenced in the Services.

You acknowledge that you take full responsibility for your finances and well-being, as well as the finances and well-being of your family and all financial decisions now or in the future. We are not responsible for any financial decisions or funding decisions that you make, or which you fail to make. You hereby waive any and all claims against us, our directors, officers, employees and agents in relation to the Services or the consequences that may occur as a result of following the guidance, information, signposting or options given under this agreement.
