Terms of Engagement
|
 |
- A contract manager will be nominated at the commencement of
each contract, who will be the person responsible for the planning
and delivery of the work.
|
- If there is ever any matter with which you are not happy,
please feel free to raise it with your contract manager or if
further input is required, with Simon Tepper (simon.tepper@northport.co.uk,
0117 904 7977).
|
- Unless otherwise agreed, we principally charge on the basis
of the time spent on the matter and a daily rate (plus value
added tax where relevant) will be agreed with you prior to the
commencement of work.
- Our daily rate may be increased from time to time, but you
will be given written notice of this in advance. Any increase
will not be applied retrospectively to any contract already
under way.
- If we incur disbursements, such as printing and production
costs, and travel fees, these may be billed to you as additional
costs. This will be agreed with you before work begins.
- Unless otherwise agreed, we bill all clients on a monthly
basis where there is on-going work, at the end of each month
for work done in that month.
- Bills should be settled within 30 days, interest being charged
at 3% over NatWest base rate on overdue bills.
- We will provide all services to you with reasonable skill
and care and we acknowledge that (subject to the other exclusions
and limitations in these Terms) we will be liable to you for
losses, damages, costs or expenses ("Losses") caused
by our wilful default. Our responsibility shall only extend
to the advice and services we provide on matters upon which
you have engaged us. We will be reliant upon you for the accuracy
of the information and/or documentation you provide. We will
not be liable to you for any losses caused wholly or in part
by the provision by you of false, misleading or incomplete information
or documentation or due to the acts or omissions of any persons
other than this firm or arising from any cause beyond our reasonable
control. Our liability to you under or in connection with the
engagement shall be limited to that proportion of the total
losses (after taking into account your contributory negligence,
if any) determined to be just and equitable having regard to
the extent of our responsibility for the losses in question.
Our aggregate liability, whether to you or any third party,
of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise,
for any losses whatsoever and howsoever caused arising from
or in any way connected with each matter upon which we are engaged,
shall not exceed £1 million. Your rights in respect of
any breach on our part of this engagement shall only be enforceable
if notice in writing giving all material details of any claim
shall have been given to us on or before the second anniversary
of the date of this engagement. Our liability, whether to you
or any third party, in contract or tort or under statute or
otherwise shall exclude, any indirect or consequential economic
loss or damage (including loss of profits) suffered by you or
any third party arising from, or in connection with, the matter
on which we are engaged, however the indirect or consequential
economic loss or damage is caused, including our negligence
but not our wilful default. Nothing in this section of these
terms shall impose on us any liability of any kind or for any
amount which we would not have but for this section. Nothing
in this section of these terms shall have the effect of restricting
our liability in respect of any kind of loss, damage or liability
which cannot or must not be excluded or limited under English
law.
- Nothing in this agreement shall benefit any third party and
the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply.
- The agreement between us is subject to English law and the
English courts have no-exclusive jurisdiction in relation to
any dispute.
