2. Nature of the information on this Website
The content of this Website is provided for general information only. It reflects our view at the time of publication and is subject to change without notice. It is not intended to be, and should not be treated as, legal, financial, tax, investment, regulatory or professional advice. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is given as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained on the Website, and neither RRH nor any of its members or personnel accepts any liability arising from reliance on that information.
3. No advisory or contractual relationship formed by use of the Website
Access to and use of this Website, submission of a consultation enquiry, or any preliminary discussion with a member of the RRH team, does not by itself create an advisory, contractual or fiduciary relationship between you and RRH. An engagement is formed only when a written engagement letter, signed by an authorised representative of RRH and by the client, has been exchanged, and any onboarding conditions (including client due-diligence checks) have been satisfied.
4. Eligibility and permitted use
The Website is directed to adult professional users and to individuals seeking information about our services. You may access and view the Website for personal, non-commercial purposes and, where relevant, in the course of considering whether to engage RRH. You agree not to:
- use the Website in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation;
- use the Website to distribute unsolicited communications, malware or other harmful code;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Website, or to any server, network or system connected to it;
- scrape, harvest, index or otherwise systematically extract content from the Website, including for the training of artificial-intelligence models, without our prior written consent;
- impersonate any person, misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or provide false information through a consultation form or other channel on the Website;
- use the Website in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden or impair it.
5. Intellectual property
All content on the Website — including text, graphics, layouts, logos, icons, images and software — is owned by RRH or its licensors and is protected by copyright, database, trade-mark and other intellectual-property laws. Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, modify, translate or create derivative works of any content on the Website without our prior written consent. Nothing on the Website should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any licence or right to use any trade mark displayed on the Website without the written permission of its owner.
6. Third-party content and links
The Website may include content from, or links to, third-party websites. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices or availability of those third-party sites. Your access to and use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
7. Consultation enquiries and information you submit
The consultation form on the Website allows you to describe your matter in general terms. You should:
- submit only the information necessary for us to consider whether the matter falls within our advisory remit;
- not submit privileged, sensitive or highly confidential documentation through the Website form — a secure channel will be established if we proceed to an engagement;
- ensure that any information you submit about third parties is provided lawfully and, where required, with the consent or knowledge of those persons;
- understand that submission of an enquiry does not, by itself, constitute instructions or create any engagement.
8. Confidentiality of enquiries
Information you provide through a consultation enquiry is treated as confidential and is used solely for the purposes of assessing the enquiry and, if we proceed, of preparing for a potential engagement. It is not disclosed outside the RRH team save with your consent, where necessary to run a conflict check, or where disclosure is required by law, court order or regulatory obligation. Handling of personal data submitted through the Website is described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Prospective clients — conflict checks
Before accepting an engagement, RRH runs a conflict check against existing and previous engagements. If a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, is identified, we will decline the engagement or propose appropriate safeguards. We will inform you promptly if we are unable to act.
10. General engagement terms
Sections 10 to 22 of these Terms set out our general terms of engagement. Where you and RRH enter into a written engagement letter, these general terms apply in addition to that letter and are deemed incorporated into it. If any conflict arises between these general terms and the engagement letter, the engagement letter prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.
11. Scope of engagement
The scope of each engagement is described in the engagement letter. Any variation to that scope requires written agreement between the parties. Advice provided in one engagement should not be relied upon for any other matter or by any other person. Our advice is based on the facts, documents and instructions provided to us, and on the law and regulatory position at the date of the advice. We are not obliged to update advice to reflect subsequent changes unless we are separately engaged to do so.
12. Fees, disbursements and billing
Fees are set out in the engagement letter and may be structured on a fixed-fee, capped-fee or time basis. Unless otherwise agreed, we invoice monthly in arrears. Invoices are payable within thirty (30) days of receipt. Late payment may attract statutory interest under English law. Reasonable disbursements incurred on your behalf — including travel, translation, expert fees and filing fees — are recharged at cost. Value-added tax is added where applicable.
13. Client responsibilities
You agree to:
- provide us with accurate, complete and timely information and documentation relevant to the matter;
- inform us promptly of any change of circumstances, instructions or contact details that may affect the engagement;
- cooperate with any client due-diligence, anti-money-laundering or sanctions checks that we are required to perform;
- not use our advice for any unlawful purpose;
- ensure that any third-party information you provide has been obtained lawfully.
14. Independence and conflicts of interest
RRH maintains its independence in all engagements. We will not knowingly act where there is a conflict of interest that cannot be appropriately managed. If a conflict arises during an engagement, we will notify you and, where necessary, take appropriate steps, which may include ceasing to act.
15. Anti-money-laundering and sanctions
As a matter of policy and, where applicable, of legal obligation, RRH conducts client due-diligence and sanctions screening before accepting an engagement, and monitors its client base on an ongoing basis. We reserve the right to decline to act, or to cease to act, where such checks are inconclusive or produce adverse results. Where required by law, we are obliged to report suspicious transactions to the competent authorities and, in certain cases, may be prohibited from informing you of such a report.
16. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
- RRH's aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise — is limited to the higher of (a) the total fees actually paid to RRH under the relevant engagement in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the liability, and (b) five hundred thousand euros (EUR 500,000), or such other amount as is specified in the engagement letter.
- RRH is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or special losses, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss or corruption of data, howsoever arising.
- Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
- No claim may be brought against any individual member, adviser, employee or agent of RRH personally in connection with an engagement; any claim must be brought against RRH itself, subject to the limits set out above.
17. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold RRH harmless from any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) any breach by you of these Terms or the engagement letter; (b) the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any information you provide to us; or (c) any unlawful use by you of the Website or of any advice provided under an engagement.
18. Term and termination
Either party may terminate an engagement at any time on reasonable written notice. RRH may terminate an engagement with immediate effect where required to do so by law or by professional obligation, where a conflict of interest arises that cannot be managed, where an invoice remains unpaid after reasonable notice, or where the client has provided materially inaccurate information. Termination does not affect fees, expenses or liabilities accrued prior to termination.
19. Data protection
Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. By using the Website or engaging RRH, you acknowledge that you have read that notice.
20. Force majeure
RRH is not liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent it is caused by an event outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, strikes, governmental action, epidemic, telecommunications failure or failure of infrastructure.
21. Complaints
If you have any concern about our services, please write to the managing partner at complaints@rrh-advisory.com. We take complaints seriously and will acknowledge receipt within five (5) business days and provide a substantive response within thirty (30) days.
22. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms, any engagement between you and RRH, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any engagement, save that RRH reserves the right to bring proceedings for the recovery of unpaid fees in any court of competent jurisdiction.
23. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. No failure or delay by RRH in exercising any right under these Terms operates as a waiver of that right. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. These Terms, together with the engagement letter (where applicable), constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to their subject matter and supersede any prior understanding.
