Latest revision: 4th May 2023

By using this website and the services contained therein ('Services') you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions ('Terms of Use'). If you do not agree to and accept these Terms of Use, you should not use this website. All references within these Terms of Use to 'we/us/our' and “Royist” refer to the Royist website.

Royist reserves the right to change or modify these Terms of Use or any policy or guideline of the Site, at any time and in its sole discretion. Any changes or modification will be effective immediately upon posting of the revisions to the Site, and you waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications. Please review these terms and conditions periodically and check the version date for changes.

The headings in these Terms of Use are solely used for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance. We may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to you and upon such assignment will be relieved of any further obligation under these Terms of Use. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense your rights, if any, under these Terms of Use. Our delay or failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use with respect to a breach by you or others shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such right to act. We shall not be responsible for any breach of these Terms of Use caused by circumstances beyond our control.

These Terms of Use together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the use of our website.

3. Third Party Advertising and Business Dealings
Royist may run advertisements and promotions from third parties on the Site or may otherwise provide information about or links to third-party products or services on the Site. Your business dealings with or participation in the promotions of such third parties, and any terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings or promotions, are solely between you and such third party. Royist is not responsible for and does not guarantee the price, terms, performance, quality, accuracy, availability or legality of any products, services, promotions or information offered by any advertiser. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of such dealings or promotions or as a result of such third party information or advertisements on the Site. If you have a dispute with one or more advertisers or other third parties, you release Royist from any claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

4. Registration and Security
You must be over eighteen years of age to register on our website and must ensure that the details provided by you on registration are true, accurate, current and complete. It is your responsibility to update and inform us of any changes to the details provided on registration. Although certain parts of our website may be used by anyone who visits without requiring registration, some of the Services require you to register in order to enable us to verify your identity. By registering with the service, you agree that we can send you emails about your account, other Royist services and occasional third party offers. You can manage your communication preferences or unsubscribe from communications at any time. When registering, you will be asked to create a password and will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and restricting access to your computer, as you will be accountable for any activities conducted under your password. If you believe that someone has accessed your account without authorisation, please contact us immediately.

5. End-user and Members Responsibilities
You may view lifestyle content details ('Details') such as luxury asset listings, travel destinations, international events and other content hosted and developed by us via our online publications, events calendar and brands collection. Details are hosted by us in good faith but are produced directly by our partners and have not been verified by us. You are responsible for making your own enquiries and we provide no guarantee and accept no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information contained within the Details.

• You are responsible for checking, confirming and satisfying yourself as to the accuracy of any Details.

• You are responsible for ensuring that you act in good faith towards any other parties.

• You must not divulge confidential data or information received from any party contacted on the Site. This shall not apply to any data or information that are public knowledge at the time they are so provided by the party, and it shall cease to apply if, at any time in the future, they become public knowledge through no fault of yours.

Members of Royist on any active membership plan are also required to follow the 'Club Rules' which can be found on their membership welcome pack and any additional contractual arrangements signed by the Member as applicable.

6. Responsibilities of Partners and Suppliers
The clauses in this section are exclusively applied to Partners that actively market luxury assets either as companies or individuals and who are authorized by Royist to purchase single or multiple listings on our website, or companies and individuals that have not signed a separate contract with Royist. The Partner is obliged to guarantee the accuracy and correctness of information regarding each asset listed for rental or sale through our website. The Partner is not allowed to list on the Site luxury assets for which it is not entitled to the sale or rental for the entire duration of the service. Royist has the right to block the display of the Partner’s assets, without providing any reimbursement if the Partner makes false statements regarding the asset and/or the state of rental and/or the condition of an asset listed on the website. The Partner is not allowed to contact Users to propose assets other than the ones displayed on the Website without their prior request or consent. The Partner undertakes the responsibility to enforce among its employees, representatives, attorneys and consultants, the above mentioned obligations. The Partner is required to pay in advance for each asset he requests to be displayed on the Site, according to the price agreed by email. The payment is related to a specific asset for a pre-defined duration; therefore if the asset is sold or rented the Partner cannot substitute it with another asset. In this case Royist can block the display of the asset without any refund.

7. Availability of Website
We strive to ensure that our website and the Services are available to you at all times but cannot guarantee that either the website or the Services will operate continuously, without interruptions or be fault free. On occasion, necessary maintenance or upgrade work requires us to make the website and the Services unavailable without notice, but we aim to keep downtime to a minimum. We accept no liability for any interruption or loss of service. We reserve the absolute right to alter, suspend or discontinue any part of our website or the Services, including your access to it.

8. Copyright And License

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability so the above limitations may not apply to you.

16. Applicable Law
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the parties agree that any disputes will be settled in English courts, save that we may take action in any relevant jurisdiction to enforce our intellectual property rights. Should any provision of these Terms of Use be determined to be invalid or unenforceable by any court having competent jurisdiction, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced with a provision that reflects the intent of the original provision, to the extent permitted by applicable law and all other provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.

17. Digital Millennium Copyright Act Compliance
In accordance with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the European Union Internet Copyright Directive applicable to Internet service providers (17 U.S.C. § 512; 2001/29/EC), Royist has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, subscribers or account holders who are deemed to be repeat infringers.
