Fees and services:

The Client agrees to pay the fees charged by SloGold which fees include annually recurring amounts but, although effort is made to maintain the same fee level for as long as possible, SloGold reserves the right to increase the level of fees payable.

The fees are set out on the basis of immediate settlement by the Client. When SloGold invoices for annual services, 20 % may, at the discretion of SloGold be added to the fees invoiced but the additional amounts is fully allowable as a discount if the invoice is paid within 30 days. In the event that the Client fails to settle invoices properly rendered to him by SloGold within the period for payment notified on that invoice then the Client authorises SloGold to deduct the fees from any account, monies or property under the control of SloGold and belonging to the Client or the Company.

If the Client no longer requires the Services provided by SloGold then within 30 days of receipt of the invoice for the forthcoming year's Services the Client shall advise SloGold accordingly. If the Client does not so inform SloGold then he shall be deemed to have accepted liability to pay for the Services for the forthcoming 12 months period and shall be liable for the payment of the invoice in full.

Domicilliary and management services are provided on a yearly basis. A termination fee shall be payable by the Client to SloGold upon the Services no longer being required whether this be due to liquidation, transfer of the management of a company or trust or otherwise. The fee payable shall be US$1,000 in respect of each company or trust established. This termination fee will be charged additionally to any fees payable for documentary work, time spent in effecting such termination and disbursements payable to third parties. SloGold reserves the right to decline instructions from a Client without giving any reasons.

DIRECTORS:

Where SloGold is providing Directors and/or Company Secretary ("Officers") for the Company then:

The Officers will at all times be willing to consider and entertain requests and suggestions from the Client but they will not be willing to act in any manner which appears to them to be dishonest, illegal, improper, or incorrect.

SloGold will procure the resignation of the Officers they provide upon written request from the Client.

The Client will at all times keep indemnified the Officers in respect of all actions, claims and demands, losses and costs incurred by the Officers in the exercise or purported exercise of their duties unless the Officers shall be guilty of personal dishonesty.

REGISTERED OFFICE:

Where SloGold is providing registered office facilities for the Company then:

No reference shall be made to that registered offices address in any advertisement or public announcement without the specific consent of SloGold.

The facility is available on the basis of license revocable at will by SloGold and the Client will upon request from SloGold immediately transfer the registered office address to another address selected by the Client.

It may be necessary for SloGold to move its offices to another location and such a move may well make it necessary for the registered office address(es) of the Company to be changed. SloGold undertakes to give the Client as much advance notice as possible of any such move but it will not accept responsibility for any costs incurred by the Client as a result thereof.

OTHER PROVISIONS:

The Client agrees to inform SloGold immediately upon changing his usual business address or residential address or telephone or fax number, that SloGold may at all times be able to contact the Client should there be need.

All requests for action shall be transmitted to SloGold by the Client in writing by fax, mail or email.

All communications in relation to the administration of the Company shall be deemed to have been properly communicated to the Client if sent to the address notified to SloGold by the Client in accordance with these Conditions of Business and all such communications shall be deemed to have been properly received by the Client ten days after posting such communication to the Client. It shall not be necessary for SloGold to provide proof of postage.

SloGold shall not be liable for any failure to comply with any instructions and shall not be responsible for non receipt of instructions. The Client shall have no claim whatsoever against SloGold in respect of anything done or omitted to be done or in respect of any exercise of any discretion unless same shall be mala fide or fraudulently.

In its web site and other materials SloGold provides information on services. Such information does not purport to be legal or other professional advice and cannot be taken to constitute such advice. The Client agrees to provide SloGold upon request with whatever information SloGold may require about the background of the Client's Company.

Any dispute arising between the Client and SloGold from or out of the provision of the Services by SloGold or in connection with these Terms and Conditions of Business shall be referred to and determined by a sole arbitrator ("the Arbitrator") such arbitration to be held in the same jurisdiction as the situs of the particular office providing those Services or, if SloGold shall deem it more convenient or appropriate, in Seychelles. The Arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement between the parties. For the avoidance of doubt the Client and SloGold agree that the decision of such arbitration shall be binding on all parties to that arbitration.
