OUR SERVICES
We provide financial coaching services focusing on personal financial management (“Financial Coaching Services”) to you via your employer.
The purpose of the Financial Coaching Services is to provide you with information based on your defined short-term and long-term goals. This service includes, but is not limited to, brainstorming techniques, identifying action plans, follow-up procedures to maintain your motivation, educating you on general financial topics, as well as asking and answering questions.
The Financial Coaching Services are not regulated by the FCA and do not include product-specific financial advice or recommendations. If you require product-specific financial advice or recommendations, you should engage an FCA-regulated Financial Adviser.
Where relevant, the Coach will explain the different general options available and outline the pros and cons of each. The Coach will provide suggestions on spending plans, and provide tips and guidance on a Financial Plan to you, answering questions, helping you plan your finances, give general financial guidance. Every element of the Financial Coaching Services, accessed or provided simultaneously, plays a key role in informing your decisions on how much to save, invest and contribute to your pensions or savings for retirement.
The Financial Coaching Services do not include providing advice or education on legal, tax or accountancy matters. The Coach is not qualified to provide legal, tax or accounting advice or to prepare any legal, tax or accounting documents. You are responsible for referring to any point of law, tax or accountancy that may arise during the course of discussions with the Coach to a solicitor or an accountant (as applicable).
The Financial Coaching Services also provide you access to TOMII Materials, in particular access to online videos, tools, and resources hosted on Teachable for the duration of the contract between TOMII and the Customer.
The duration of each Financial Coaching Session will be determined by the Coach as needed to fulfil the objectives of the given Financial Coaching Session, but in any event will not exceed forty-five (45) minutes.
The Coach may contact you in different ways, including via telephone, e-mail, SMS text message, web (video) conference, online survey, or in person.
Please note that the Financial Coaching Sessions may be recorded for quality, training and monitoring purposes.
ACCESS TO FINANCIAL COACHING SESSIONS
The time and date of the coaching days will be determined by TOMII and the Customer based on a mutually agreed upon time. You will initiate all bookings for the Financial Coaching Sessions through the booking platform provided by TOMII and take responsibility for attending the session at your chosen time.
CANCELLATION OF FINANCIAL COACHING SESSIONS
You acknowledge that, (i) you may terminate or discontinue the Financial Coaching Sessions at any time, (ii) you may only be able to access the Financial Coaching Services infrequently, and (iii) that regular sessions are not guaranteed.
You agree that it is your responsibility to notify TOMII of cancellations or rescheduling as soon as possible in advance of the scheduled Financial Coaching Session. This is to make sure the Financial Coaching Sessions are as widely available as possible to other Clients.
You agree that it is your responsibility to attend the coaching sessions at the agreed upon time and date. You acknowledge that arriving to a Financial Coaching Session more than 5 minutes late could result in a loss of that session and the Coach may then reopen that session to other Clients after the 5 minute period is up. Furthermore, arriving late to a session does not constitute the session running over the scheduled forty-five (45) minute allotment to make up for the lost time.

We may suspend your access to our Financial Coaching Services temporarily and without notice in the case of system failure, emergency maintenance, emergency upgrades or emergency repairs. We are not liable for any losses you may suffer as a result of this.
Financial coaching is not an activity that is regulated by the FCA and neither TOMII nor the Coach as an individual is regulated by the FCA.

You are solely responsible for creating and implementing you own Financial Plan resulting from the coaching relationship and interactions with the Coach. As such, you agree that the Coach or TOMII is not and will not be liable or responsible for any action or inaction, or for any direct or indirect results of any Financial Coaching Services provided to you by TOMII or the Coach.

If our Financial Coaching Services or any part thereof is defective (for example if our software damages your device or other digital content owned by you) and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice, or for you failing have in place reasonable anti-virus software or the minimum system requirements required to use our Services, or any loss arising from your breach of these Client Terms of Use.
Subject to the above, to the extent permitted by applicable law, TOMII’s total aggregate liability to you for all and any damages, losses or causes of action arising, by reason of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) our Financial Coaching Services, shall be limited to the Fees paid by the Customer to TOMII in respect of the relevant services.
You agree to fully reimburse and compensate us on demand and hold us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, and our and their officers, directors, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from any losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable legal fees), sums agreed to in settlement and other liabilities, arising out of any claim, demand, allegation or proceeding brought by any third party due to or arising out of:
any fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation you commit;
any breach of applicable law or regulation by you;
any use of your password by a third-party; and
any breach by you of these Client Terms of Use.

The terms implied by sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from this agreement.
You shall indemnify TOMII against any costs, liability, damages, loss, expenses, claims or proceedings arising from loss or damage (including that belonging to any third parties appointed by TOMII) caused by any breach of these terms or any other liabilities arising out of the use of the Financial Coaching Services by you.

GENERAL
The English courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising from, or related to, our Financial Coaching Services. These Client Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.
You agree to indemnify us from any legal claim or demand that arises from your actions, your use (or misuse) of the Financial Coaching Services or your breach of the Client Terms of Use.
This agreement is drafted in the English language. If this agreement is translated to any other language, the English language version shall prevail.
The Client Terms of Use, including all the other documents referred to in it, make up the terms of the entire agreement and supersede any other agreement between you and us regarding the Financial Coaching Services. If any part of the Client Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the Client Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any part of the Client Terms of Use is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Client Terms of Use.
Except as expressly provided for in the Client Terms of Use, a person who is not a party to the Client Terms of Use shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of the provisions of the Terms of Use. The rights of the parties to terminate, rescind or agree any variation, waiver or settlement under the these terms are not subject to the consent of any other person.
Nothing in this Contract shall be deemed to constitute a partnership between the parties or any other person.
Each clause of the Client Terms of Use is severable and distinct from the others. If any provision or part-provision of the Client Terms is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this Clause 15.7 shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Client Terms.
Each party shall at all times comply with all applicable laws and regulations of governmental or other competent authorities from time to time in performing its obligations under this Client Terms.
