2. Contract

2.1 A Contract will be created when the Customer accepts the Company's Order Confirmation or when the Company commences performance of the Services.

2.2 The Company will supply the Services in accordance with the Contract.

2.3 Any prices quoted by the Company in advance of the Order Confirmation shall be an estimate only and shall not constitute an offer to the Customer capable of being accepted.

2.4 Failure or neglect by the Company to enforce at any time any of the provisions of the Contract shall not be construed nor shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Company’s rights hereunder.

2.5 If any provision of the Contract is held by a competent court to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part the validity of the other provisions and the remainder of the provision in question shall not be effected and shall remain valid and enforceable.

2.6 The Contract shall constitute the whole contract between the parties and no previous negotiations, quotations, correspondence or other communication prior to the date of the issue of the Order Confirmation shall form part of the Contract.

2.7 The Company shall not be liable for any delay in performing any obligations under the Contract if such delay is due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control and the Company shall be entitled (subject to giving the Customer full particulars of the circumstances and to using its reasonable endeavours to resume full performance without avoidable delay) to a reasonable extension of time for the performance of such obligations.

2.8 The contract will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

 

3. The Services

3.1 Time for the provision of the Services by the Company shall not be of the essence and whilst the Company will use reasonable endeavours to achieve the agreed dates for the provision of the Services, the Company will not be liable for failure to achieve those dates.

3.2 The provision of the Services by the Company may lead to a loss of business operating time or other interruption to service for the Customer or any relevant third party. The Customer acknowledges that such problems cannot be identified by the Company until it has commenced the Services and therefore the Contract Price (or such proportion of the Contract Price as the Company may at its absolute discretion determine) shall still be payable in full by the Customer and the Company shall not be liable to the Customer for any loss suffered by the Customer or any third party in the event of such problems (or similar problems) arising.

3.3 Should further work become necessary or should the required Services be found to be of a substantially different nature to that initially expected, the Company reserves the right to amend the Contract Price and/or charge additional fees in accordance with 'Standard Terms Clause 4.3'.

3.4 The Company reserves the right to change the dates for the provision of the Services provided that prior notification is given to the Customer.

3.5 Where the Services are to be provided (in full or in part) at the premises of the Customer or a third party, the Customer undertakes to ensure that:

3.5.1 the Company’s representatives have unrestricted and safe access to the relevant premises and working space, and

3.5.2 all relevant security and health and safety rules and procedures are brought to the attention of the Company’s representatives attending the relevant premises.

3.6 Where the Services are to be provided (in full or in part) at the premises of the Customer or a third party, the Customer acknowledges that, when calculating the Contract Price, the Company has assumed that it will have access to such premises without delay or restriction. If as a result of any delay or restriction on the access to such premises, the Company incurs additional expense in providing the Services, the Company shall be entitled to increase the Contract Price in accordance with 'Standard Terms Clause 4.3'. If the Services cannot be completed as result of access to the premises being restricted or denied, the Contract Price (or such proportion of the Contract price as the Company may at its absolute discretion determine) shall still be payable by the Customer.

3.7 If the Customer does not permit the Company to provide the Services or fails to take all steps within its power to facilitate the provision of the Services, the Company shall be entitled to increase the Contract Price in accordance with 'Standard Terms Clause 4.3' and if the Customer fails (after receipt of a written notice requiring it to do so) to permit the Company to perform the Services, the Company shall be entitled to render an invoice as if the Services had been duly completed. Payment shall become due as if the Services had been completed.

3.8 If the work is to be funded by a third party grant provider (hereafter “Grant Provider”), the Customer must provide a copy of the relevant authority from the Grant Provider before provision by the Company of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the Contract is between the Company and the Customer and the Customer is responsible for payment of all fees payable under the Contract by the relevant due dates and non-payment by the Grant Provider to the Customer will not justify any delay in the payment of the fees to the Company.

3.9 The Customer will indemnify the Company against:

3.9.1 any liability which it may have to any of its representatives who are engaged in providing the Services as a result of the negligence of the Customer, its staff or agents and/or as a result of the Customer’s breach of contract, and

3.9.2 (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any loss or damage which the Company might suffer as a result of the Customer’s breach of 'Standard Terms Clause 3'.

 

4. Prices, Charges and Payments

4.1 Unless otherwise stated all fees charged by the Company are not subject to VAT and all estimates are given exclusive of VAT.

4.2 The Customer shall reimburse the Company for all reasonably incurred travel, accommodation and other expenses relating to the provision of the Services. Travel expenses may be waived by the Company in respect of travel incurred by the Company's representatives to and from Customer premises at the sole discretion of the Company.

4.3 The Company reserves the right to increase the Contract Price to reflect any additional costs or expenses incurred or additional services provided by the Company and in the event that the Customer does not permit the Company to commence or provide the Services (or fails to take all steps within its power to facilitate the performance of the Services);

4.4 Any increase in the Contract Price pursuant to 'Standard Terms Clause 4.3' shall be notified by the Company to the Customer in writing and the amount of the increase shall be invoiced to the Customer once the additional costs or expenses giving rise to the increase have been incurred by the Company or the additional Services provided.

4.5 All sums due to the Company from the Customer under the Contract shall be paid without any set-off or counterclaim.

4.6 Unless otherwise stated in the Terms of Service or the Order Confirmation or the Company's invoice, the Contract Price shall be payable by the Customer twenty-eight (28) days from the date of the Company’s invoice (hereafter “Due Date”). Time is of the essence.

4.7 If payment remains outstanding after the Due Date then the Company may:

4.7.1 suspend all Services in respect of this Contract or any other contract between the Company and the Customer;

4.7.2 charge the Customer interest on outstanding sums at the rate of eight per cent (8%) per annum above the base lending rate pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act from the Due Date until payment in full is received in cleared funds;

4.7.3 charge the Customer for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the Customer’s non-payment and in collecting the outstanding amount due;

4.7.4 terminate the Contract in whole or in part and seek to recover damages for breach of contract.

4.8 All Services remain the property of the Company until paid for in full.

4.9 If the Customer requires any alteration to the Services after the Company has supplied the Order Confirmation then the Company may increase the Contract Price accordingly.

4.10 The Company undertakes to accept payment for Services by electronic Bank Transfer or by Cheque. If the Company at its sole discretion agrees to accept payment for Services by any other form of payment then the Customer agrees to indemnify the Company for all resulting fees incurred by the Company.

4.11 Should the Customer become insolvent, be unable to pay its debts as they fall due, (being an individual or partnership) commit any act of bankruptcy, or (being a company) go into liquidation, have a receiver appointed or make any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or suffer any similar action to be taken then if the Services:

4.11.1 have been completed but not paid for the Contract Price shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding any previous agreement or arrangement to the contrary;

4.11.2 have not been completed the Company shall have the right to determine the Contract and suspend the provision of any further Services and recover from the Customer an appropriate proportion of the Contract Price to reflect the Services provided and all costs incurred by the Company in connection with the Contract.

 

5. Cancellation / Postponement

5.1 The Customer may not cancel or postpone any Contract except with the written agreement of the Company and on terms that the Customer shall:

5.1.1 pay for all unpaid work to date,

5.1.2 pay such cancellation or postponement fee as the Company may at its discretion consider reasonable, and

5.1.3 indemnify the Company in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including cost of all time and materials purchased or used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by the Company as a result of such cancellation or postponement.

7.3 Whilst the Company shall comply with its obligations under 'Standard Terms Clause 6.2' the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information, reports and advice (hereafter “Data”) which it provides in the course of the Services and accordingly the Company cannot accept any liability to the Customer (or any party represented by the Customer) should the Data prove to be inaccurate in any respect.

7.4 Save as provided in 'Standard Terms Clause 7.1', in no circumstances shall the Company’s liability to the Customer exceed the amount paid by the Customer in respect of the Services.

7.6 The Customer acknowledges that it does not rely on, and waives any claim for, breach of any representations or warranties which have not been confirmed in writing and that advice given by the Company regarding the Services which is not confirmed in writing is followed entirely at the Customer’s own risk.

7.7 The Company shall have no liability to the Customer or any third parties for any failure to carry out Services for reasons beyond it's control including but not limited to acts of God, telecommunication problems, software failure, hardware failure, third party interference, Government, emergency on major scale or any social disturbance of extreme nature such as industrial strike, riot, terrorism and war or any act or omission of any third party services.

7.8 Where the Customer purchases any product or service from a Third Party seller through following a link on the Company's website to such Third Party's website, the Third Party seller's individual liability will be set out in the Third Party seller's terms and conditions.
