LEI Registration Process LEICodeAE exercise the right to act on behalf of our clients and complete the registration process directly with the relevant LEI issuer.

The LEI service is provided by LEICodeAE. LEICodeAE is an Official Registration Agent.

1. To apply for an LEI code, fill in the application form, submit your data and pay for the service by credit card or PayPal. Bank Transfer to the LEICodeAE bank account will also be made available.

2. The applicant agrees that while submitting the form he/she accepts the terms and conditions.

The applicant gives all rights to LEICodeAE to apply for an LEI code on the client's behalf. The applicant confirms that He/She has the full authority to apply for an LEI on behalf of the Legal Entity.

The applicant will be required to check a box that states they are authorised to complete the application and provide authorisation to LEI Worldwide, and that they fully understand the Terms & Conditions laid out herein.

3. LEICodeAE will start with the LEI registration process once the client has made the payment.

Please understand that in certain instances LEI Worldwide may request from the client a letter of authorization or any other proof that the applicant is authorized to act on behalf of the entity. We may also request entity documentation such as a Certificate of Incorporation which will show proof of address in the interest of verification and LEI Data Quality.

If the client has submitted insufficient data, LEICodeAE will contact the client via e-mail or submitted telephone number. In the case of these documents not being submitted or refused LEICodeAE will not issue a refund.

4. The LEI code will be issued as soon as possible after the payment has been made. In most cases the LEI code will be issued in 24 hours. However, in some cases, it may take up to a full week.

LEI renewal/transfer process can take up to 7 days. Depending on the number of applications, or verification process the LEI timeframe can be affected.

5. The purchase will be counted as final if the data has been submitted and funds paid. Once the funds have been paid, we will proceed with the registration/renewal process at which point we incur the cost of registration/renewal and a refund will not be given after this point.

Please be aware; once a transfer application has been submitted, and a Letter of Authorisation supplied we are unable to issue refunds in the case of a cancelled transfer application. This is because we are required to purchase the import from the system up front and will have incurred this cost already. If the customer has paid for multi-year renewal and transfer we may issue a refund for the additional years minus a sum of up to $25 as a handling fee to cover the associated costs.

6. LEICodeAE has the right to deny the application. In cases of denial, LEICodeAE will refund client to the amount paid minus the cost to cover the refund fees.

A refund may not be issued in the case that you have ordered an LEI from LEICodeAE, and duplicate records exists. At this point we will have incurred the cost of searching the Global index and cross checking against your entity for matches and submitting a payment for the application with the relevant LOU.

Completing the registration form requires a payment that is non-refundable, even if it is discovered that the entity already existed in the database. It is recommended that the applicant ensures they are not already registered on the global database before proceeding.

A refund may not be issued in the case that an LEI renewal/transfer is ordered and the customer cancels. At the point of sale our registration team will begin preparing the documentation necessary for renewal authorisation, and an LEI renewal ticket is submitted to the LEI system.

At this point we will have partially incurred the costs associated with carrying out the service ordered.

7. For the convenience of customers LEI Worldwide offers a service to prepay renewal fee in advance for 1 year, 3 years or 5 years.

If the client has bought LEI renewal service for 3 or 5 years LEICodeAE will cover the renewal cost for the period bought and renew the company data in GLEIF database every year accordingly with the data provided in public company registry.

LEICodeAE will ask the client for an e-mail to confirm the data extracted from the company registry before submitting it for next renewal. If the client does not respond in 5 weekdays, LEICodeAE will update the data according to public company registry and submit it to GLEIF database through a relevant LOU.

8. Regardless if the client has bought renewal service for 1 year, 3 years or 5 years, LEI data will be updated every year accordingly. Hence the “NEXT RENEWAL DATE” in GLEIF database is always not more than 1 year in the future.

9. Governing law This agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law.

10. Jurisdiction Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with this agreement or its subject matter or formation.

Prices and payment terms:
1. Applicable prices are shown on the Pricelist page, although may vary from time to time or on a case by case basis.

2. LEICodeAE will not charge customers for managing the LEI code. Customers will be charged only for applying for an LEI or renewal of the LEI code.
