Terms and Conditions — Metier 2020 Pty Ltd

1. Purpose

Where we provide you with a designated service as defined under the AML/CTF Law, these Terms form part of the agreement between you and us and govern how we meet our client identification and verification obligations.

2. Client Identification (KYC) Requirements

Before providing a designated service, and periodically thereafter, we are required by law to:

• verify your identity, and, where you are a company, trust, partnership, or other entity, the identity of directors, trustees, partners, and beneficial owners
• obtain information about the nature and purpose of our relationship with you
• screen you against applicable sanctions and politically exposed persons (PEP) lists
• conduct ongoing monitoring of the relationship, including enhanced due diligence where a matter is assessed as higher risk

You agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date identification documents and information when requested, including (as applicable) government-issued photographic identification, proof of address, constitutional or trust documents, and details of beneficial ownership or control.

You agree to notify us promptly if any information you have provided changes, including changes in beneficial ownership, control, or contact details.

3. Consequences of Non-Provision

We are not able to commence, continue, or complete a designated service until our client identification and verification requirements have been satisfied.

We reserve the right to delay, suspend, decline to provide, or terminate a service where you do not provide the information or documentation required under this clause, without liability for any resulting loss or delay.

4. Reporting Obligations

We are required by law to report certain matters to AUSTRAC, including suspicious matters and threshold transactions, regardless of client instructions.

5. Record-Keeping and Data Handling

Identification documents and related information collected under this clause will be stored securely and retained for the period required under the AML/CTF Law (currently a minimum of seven years from the end of our relationship with you).

This information will be used only for the purposes of meeting our AML/CTF obligations and providing our services to you, and will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Verification Providers

We may use accredited third-party identity verification providers to confirm your identity electronically. By providing your details for this purpose, you consent to your information being disclosed to, and processed by, such providers for identity verification purposes only.

7. No Advice on Evasion

Nothing on this website or in our services should be construed as advice on how to structure a matter to avoid or circumvent AML/CTF Law, sanctions, or reporting obligations. We will decline to act in any matter where we reasonably suspect an intention to do so.

8. Changes to This Clause

We may update this clause from time to time to reflect changes in AML/CTF Law or AUSTRAC guidance. The current version in force is the version published on this website.
