Requests to transfer a business must be submitted in writing to the Compliance Department compliance@truehy.com. The request to transfer will be denied if the business is not in good standing or if there is another reasonable reason for denying the request.

The number of arbitrators shall be three. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be in London, England, and the language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
