tally® relative to GBP (£) can rise or fall due to fluctuations in the global gold price.

When fiat money is sent to a TallyMoney Account it is automatically converted to tally® and each unit of tally® is an electronic record of ownership and right to the value of 1 milligram of physical gold stored in a Brink’s vault in Switzerland, operated by TallyMoney UK Ltd’s (“TML”) parent entity, Tally Central Ltd, as a custodial service, with the added protection of a security trust structure with FCA-licensed trustee Woodside Corporate Services Ltd (FCA No. 467652 ). In the unlikely event TML or Tally Central Ltd ceases trading, all of the gold represented as tally® in customer accounts will promptly be sold,  and the corresponding proceeds returned to each customer’s designated bank account, less a 1% fee to pay for the legal mechanism and process. tally® balances are protected to their full value (with no limits.)

The TallyMoney Debit Mastercard® (“TallyMoney Card”) linked to the TallyMoney Account is issued by Transact Payments Limited pursuant to licence by Mastercard International. Mastercard is a registered trademark, and the circles design is a trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated.

  2. TML reserves the right to reject or limit payments and withdrawals in and out of your TallyMoney Account.

    1.  

Accepted Currencies

  1. The TallyMoney Platform accepts payments in pounds sterling (pounds) and euros. The global gold market wholesale sell price of LBMA-certified 1 kilo bars of gold bullion is used to calculate the pounds value of tally® on the TallyMoney Platform.

Peer to Peer transfers of tally®

  1. You can transfer tally® to another customer’s TallyMoney Account. If tally® is transferred peer-to-peer, the relevant number of tally® will be deducted from your TallyMoney Account and we will credit the same number of tally® to the payee’s TallyMoney Account. In order to make a peer-to-peer transfer both the payer and payee need to have a TallyMoney Account.

Offers or promotions

  1. On occasion, we may introduce certain specific offers or promotions. These will be subject to additional, separate terms and conditions that shall sit alongside these Terms. In any case, any and all TML offers, or promotions may be contingent upon the Customer first transferring and depositing an amount into their TallyMoney Account prior to us crediting the Customer with the amount of tally® that is detailed in the subject of the relevant offer or promotion.

Additional services

  1. Customers who have opened a TallyMoney Account may be able to use additional services. These Terms shall apply to your use of any Additional Services. If there are any inconsistencies between these Terms and the Additional Service Terms, the latter will apply.

Using the Tally App

  1. When you make a payment to your TallyMoney Account, tally® shall be purchased on your behalf at the prevailing market wholesale buy price for 1 kilo gold bullion bars (1mg of gold = 1 tally®), and credited to your TallyMoney Account accordingly. Conversely, when you sell or spend tally® via the TallyMoney App or your TallyMoney Card, TML shall sell the equivalent amount of your tally® and apply the fiat proceeds to satisfy the relevant purchase, payment or transfer.
  2. Customers who hold a TallyMoney Account will be issued with a TallyMoney Card. You can use your TallyMoney Card to make payments using tally® thereby instructing us to sell part of your tally® and use the fiat proceeds to purchase the goods or services. If you are going abroad please notify us in advance to ensure that our system does not block your payments as potentially fraudulent transactions.
  3. Customers may provide instructions through the TallyMoney App to transfer tally® equal to a fiat amount, to a bank or e-money account with an IBAN that is set up as a payee. Such transfer instructions will most often be executed using the UK Faster Payments network and should arrive within minutes but it can take longer if a BACS transfer, or if the sum is in excess of the Flagged Amount (as per clause 4.7), it may take up to 3 business days to clear. Any additional charges (e.g. international transfer fees) will be deducted from the proceeds returned to the Payer or the Payee’s bank account will accept the associated fees. TML accepts no responsibility or liability for other fees charged in other parts of the banking system (e.g. your funds being received by a SWIFT correspondent bank, prior to arriving at your bank when an international transfer is being processed).
  4. If a Customer makes a Payment Out, any fees owed to TML, or any compliance costs associated with your applicable instruction, may be deducted in tally® from the amount the Customer has instructed to be paid out.
  5. TAL as well as TML reserves the right to conduct extra security and/or money laundering checks before acting on a Customer Withdrawal Request to preserve the integrity of its service and comply with its legal obligations.
  6. TML may from time to time impose periodic limits on the amount of tally® that can be purchased, which may change without notice.
    1.  

Security and login

  1. Each Customer is responsible for keeping their login details, TallyMoney Card and PIN (“Security Credentials”) secure. If you need to change your password, you can do so within the TallyMoney App by clicking “Forgotten Password” and inputting the email address connected to your TallyMoney Account. You should check your TallyMoney Account regularly for suspicious transactions. In the event you become aware of any such transactions or if you lose your TallyMoney Card or it is stolen, you should “freeze” your TallyMoney Card immediately using the in-app card locking function, and contact TML immediately to order a replacement TallyMoney Card. TML will not be responsible or liable if you:
        1. have not kept your Security Credentials safe;
        2. do not “freeze” (lock) your card immediately upon becoming aware
        3. input the incorrect information.

5. Payments in fiat currency

  1. Any fiat currency (e.g. pounds, euros) sent to a TallyMoney Account will be received and held (if necessary) and upon receipt by TML be used to purchase tally®. TML does not at any time hold any fiat currency on behalf of customers and the FSCS does not apply to your tally® balance.

  2. TAL/TML shall hold gold on behalf of the Customer equal to the weight represented by the number of tally® in the Customer’s TallyMoney Account.
  3. TAL or TML will engage a member of the London Bullion Market Association (or any successor body) to buy, sell and store gold purchased on the issuance of any tally® (“Custodian”).
  4. TAL or TML will pay the Custodian the fees for ringfencing and allocating customer value of the gold. These fees are included in the annual fees for the TallyMoney Account, which are detailed in the Fees, Charges & Limits Information Document.
  5. In the event of loss or damage of any gold held by the TAL/TML, a pro rata amount of tally® shall be deducted from your TallyMoney Account and any proceeds of insurance relative to the amount of tally® attributable to you for such loss shall be credited to your Customer Bank Account or used to purchase further tally® at the option of the Customer.
  6. Customers may not inspect the gold purchased by TAL/TML. The industry accredited high security facility where TAL/TML stores the physical gold bullion that it holds on behalf of its customers, is not a retail outlet. TAL/TML has a daily reconciliation and verification process in place, that involves information provided by TAL/TML’s London Bullion Market (“LBMA”) accredited precious metals brokers and vaulters, reconciled with customer tally ledgers, that is periodically reviewed and reported on by the company’s auditors.
  7. Gold purchased under these Terms will be held as weighed bars of gold in vaults operated by the Custodian in Switzerland or other locations agreed between TML and the Custodian from time to time.
  8. TAL/TML warrants that your gold is held as security for the sole purpose of ensuring proper safekeeping, and legal protection of your assets within professional vaults.
  9. TAL’s/TML’s storage partners also provide industry specific insurance cover to protect our gold holdings. This cover to you is included in our fee structure. TML’s storage partners provide TML with documentary evidence of this insurance.
  10. The quantity of tally® which is owned by TML’s Customers at all times represents 100% of the weight of physical gold bars stored on behalf of Customers (i.e. if it was ever required, it would be possible to sell the bullion and distribute the fiat currency proceeds amongst TML’s Customers in quantities proportionate to the number of tally® owned).

TML will retain complete discretion to decide what constitutes such extraordinary, unique and unpredictable circumstances. In such a scenario, TML shall advise the Customer of any such charges.
  4. TML will pass on to you all bank charges and any other costs incurred or suffered by us or by your instruction, to reverse, recall or modify any payment except as the result of any error on our part. Some of these charges are levied by us to offset the costs we incur from our banking providers for making payments. If the banks we use charge us more to process any payments, we may have to pass this cost on to you.
  5. Each fee that the Customer is charged shall be recorded for their
    records in their client statement, along with a reasonable explanation for its incurrence by TML.

14. Tally Account Closure (including in the event of death)

However, in the event that a Customer desires their TallyMoney Account (and the linked TallyMoney Card) to be closed, TML can give instruction to close their TallyMoney Account. If you desire to close your TallyMoney Account, you should contact us via email or phone so that we can assist you with the matter. Should your TallyMoney Account be closed, you will no longer be able to use the TallyMoney App (or any TallyMoney Card that may have been issued in respect of your TallyMoney Account).

  2. We shall have the right (but not the obligation) to close your TallyMoney Account and terminate these Terms:

      1. you fail in any respect to fully and promptly comply with any obligations under these Terms;

      6. any proceeds of crime are credited to your TallyMoney Account;
      7. if our contracts with TallyMoney Partners that provide services that are essential to the provision of the TallyMoney Platform are terminated and TML (or TAL as the case may be) is unable to engage a suitable replacement;

      11. if your behaviour is deemed abusive or threatening – in either public or private forums – towards TML staff members or other customers.
  3. In the event of death of the holder of a TallyMoney Account, your estate or next of kin should contact [email protected] where one of our team shall take them through the procedures to close the account.

  4. TML reserves the right to suspend your TallyMoney Account without notice where TML determines you have breached these Terms (or other terms incorporated by reference herein), or we have reason to believe your TallyMoney Account has been compromised. If TML makes a decision to close your TallyMoney Account, we will sell your tally® and, net of any fees owed to us, and provided it is permitted by law, return your funds in fiat currency to your Customer’s Bank Account, less any costs that may be charged in doing so.
  5. Upon the effective date of termination:
    1. you will no longer be able to make payments in or out of tally® using your TallyMoney Account or TallyMoney Card;
    2. we will sell net of fees any tally® in your TallyMoney Account and return the fiat currency proceeds to your Customer’s Bank Account;
    3. we will retain your Data to the extent we need to do so to comply with our legal obligations.

15. Actions for Dormant Accounts

  1. If a Customer fails to access his/her/their TallyMoney Account for 3 months and there is either: insufficient tally® in their account to pay for any fees due or a balance of less than 10 tally®, then the TallyMoney Account shall be deemed to be dormant. TML may elect to close a dormant TallyMoney Account but will use reasonable endeavours to contact the Customer, which for the avoidance of doubt shall not require TML to incur costs that are likely to be excessive in relation to the value of the tally®, if any, in the Customer’s TallyMoney Account.
  2. If after 30 days from first attempting to contact a Customer using the details provided by the relevant Customer, no reply has been forthcoming, then the Customer will be deemed to be uncontactable and TML shall have full discretion to close the relevant customer’s TallyMoney Account and, net of any fees owed including a dormant account closing fee of ten tally®, sell any remaining tally® in their TallyMoney Account and direct that the fiat currency proceeds be paid to the last known Customer’s Bank Account TML has on file for that Customer. In the event the funds are returned as that Customer’s Bank Account is no longer current, TML shall be entitled to retain these funds. TML reserves the right to charge administration fees for TML’s endeavors to locate the dormant TallyMoney Account holder.
    1.

  1. TML shall not have any responsibility or liability of any kind for any losses or expenses whatsoever incurred by the Customer as a result of:
    1. a Force Majeure Event (defined below) or third party malicious damage or to comply with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction or any default of a TallyMoney Partner (provided the Customer has recourse against that TallyMoney Partner) that causes any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations under the Terms (including but not limited to the release of funds to the Customer and delays in crediting tally® to the Customer’s TallyMoney Account); or
    2. failure to obtain instructions from the Customer or any other party due to circumstances beyond its control.
  2. Neither TML nor any TallyMoney Partner shall be liable to the Customer whether in contract, tort or otherwise for any indirect, special, consequential loss or damages, such as but limited to property damage, loss of profit, loss of use of goods, loss of business or loss of reputation howsoever caused.
  3. No provision in these Terms limits the liability of TAL or TML:
    1. under section 2(3) of the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
    2. for death or personal injury caused by the gross negligence of TAL or TML; or
    3. for matters that TAL/TML cannot legally exclude its liability from; or
    4. for fraud and misrepresentations deemed fraudulent.
  4. Subject to clauses ‎17.3(B) and ‎17.3(C) above, the aggregate liability of TML and any TallyMoney Partners to you under contract, misrepresentation, restitution, tort, or otherwise, arising due to non-compliance with these Terms, shall at all times be limited to the value of your tally® held in your TallyMoney Account.

18.TAL or TML Insolvency

  1. TAL and TML have entered into a security trust deed with an independent third-party security trustee (“Security Trustee”) pursuant to which TAL and TML has granted security to the Security Trustee in respect of its contractual arrangements with the its gold vaulting service provider platform provider and EMI (“Secured Contracts”). In the unlikely event that TML should cease trading, the Security Trustee would enforce its Security over the Secured Contracts and seek to realise the gold represented by Customers’ tally® and held by TAL/TML on behalf of Customers, and return the net proceeds to the relevant customers. The Security Trustee will deduct 1% of the total value of each Customer’s tally® balance to cover the costs of doing this (including its own costs) and by agreeing to these Terms you agree to the deduction of these costs. It is likely that if TML ceased trading that no further tally® would be issued.
