Terms of Business for Litigation Support Services as at 29th March 2013.
1. Interpretation
In these terms of business (‘the Terms’) the following expression shall be given the following meanings:
‘Operative’ means a person undertaking an Engagement on behalf of the Company.
‘The Client’ means any person, firm or corporation who approaches the Company with a view to the provision of a service, engaging or otherwise employing a Operative.
The ‘Company’ means ten-percent.co.uk limited or any of its subsidiary, associated or holding companies.
‘Engagement’ means the provision of a service, completion of an assignment, task, employment, hire or other use, directly or indirectly and whether under a contract of service or contract for services or otherwise, and on a permanent, temporary or other basis, of a Operative by or on behalf of the Client, as well as any kind of business relationship formed between Operative and Client acting in any kind of joint venture or on a consultancy basis, whether providing legal services or otherwise.
‘Month’ means a calendar month.
‘Week’ means seven consecutive days.
In these Terms words importing the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender and vice versa.
All and any business undertaken by the Company is transacted subject to these Terms, all of which shall be incorporated in any agreement between the Company and the Client. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other terms and conditions, these Terms shall prevail unless expressly otherwise agreed in writing by a Director or other authorised officer of the Company. No variation in these Terms shall be valid if made without the written consent of a Director or other authorised officer of the Company.
The Engagement of a Operative or the commencement of work for or the provision of services to the Client (whichever first occurs) shall be deemed acceptance of an agreement to these Terms.
The complete or partial invalidity or unenforceability of any provision herein for any purpose shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of such a provision for any other purpose or the remaining provisions. Any such provisions shall be deemed to be served for that purpose subject to such consequential modification as may be necessary for the purpose of such severance.
These Terms supersede all previous terms of business.
2. Obligations of the Company
The Company will provide the Client with the services agreed prior to the commencement of the contract.
3. Obligations of the Client
The Client undertakes not to employ or seek to employ members of staff of the Company but if any such member of staff accepts an Engagement within 3 months of such member leaving the employment of the Company, then the Client shall be liable to pay the Company’s scale fees as if such member had been introduced by the Company.
The Client undertakes that in the event of the Client effectively introducing (directly or indirectly) any Operative to another person, firm or corporation, including any subsidiary, associated or holding company of the Client, resulting in an Engagement by that person, firm or corporation (which the Client shall immediately notify the Company) the Client shall pay to the Company an introduction fee in accordance with clause 4 hereof, unless the Engagement occurs more than 12 months after the introduction of the Operative to the Client by the Company or from the date of the Operative’s last interview with the Client whichever is the later.
4. Fees
The fee shall become due immediately upon the commencement of an Engagement or Assignment. The fee shall be calculated either in accordance with the Company’s scale of fees in relation to Operatives in force from time to time (a copy of which may be obtained from the Company on request), or as agreed prior to commencement of an Engagement or Assignment. Value Added Tax shall be payable thereon at the prevailing rate where applicable.
If a Client employs a Operative after a task has been completed, an introduction fee payable pursuant to clause 4.1 above shall be calculated as 15% of the Operative’s annual salary, at the date of the commencement of the Engagement, to include a nominal figure for benefits, bonuses and allowances which form part of the total remuneration package in accordance with the Company’s standard rates for evaluating such benefits from time to time.
All monies due hereunder shall be paid by the Client within 21 days of the date of invoice by the Company. The invoice shall be issued as soon as the Engagement has commenced.
The Company reserves the right to charge the Client interest in respect of any amount outstanding after the period for payment set out in clause 4.4 above (both before and after any judgement) from the date of invoice up to and including the day of payment at the rate of 3 per cent per annum above the base rate from time to time of Barclays Bank plc.
The Company will exercise its statutory right to claim interest and compensation for debt recovery costs under the late payment legislation if you do not pay us in accordance with our agreed terms.
5. Liability and indemnity
1. Neither the Company nor any of its staff or Operatives shall be liable to the Client for any loss, injury, damage, expense or delay incurred or suffered by the Client arising directly or indirectly from or in any way connected with an Engagement and, in particular, but without limitation to the foregoing, any such loss, injury, damage, expense or delay arising from or in any way connected with:
a. failure of the Operative to meet the requirements of the Client for all or any of the purposes for which he is required by the Client (subject to clause 5 hereof);
b. any act or omission of a Operative, whether wilful, negligent, fraudulent, dishonest, reckless or otherwise;
c. any loss, injury, damage, expense or delay incurred or suffered by a Operative;
PROVIDED THAT nothing in this clause 6 shall be construed to purporting to exclude or restrict liability of the Company to the Client for personal injury or death resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977) nor any statutory liability or any exclusion or limitation which is prohibited by law.
2. In consideration of the Company entering into an agreement with the Client into which these Terms are incorporated, the Client hereby undertakes to indemnify the Company in respect of any and all liability of the Company for:
a. any loss, injury, expense or delay suffered or incurred by a Operative, howsoever caused; and
b. any loss, injury, damage, expense or delay suffered or incurred by anyone arising directly or indirectly from or in any way connected with the acts and omissions of a Operative, whether wilful, negligent, fraudulent, dishonest, reckless or otherwise,
PROVIDED THAT this indemnity is given only in respect of any such loss, injury, damage, expense or delay caused during or arising directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with an Engagement.
3. The Client acknowledges that the limitations and exclusions of the obligations and liabilities of the Company set out herein are reasonable and reflected in the fee payable to the Company hereunder and shall accept risk and/or insure accordingly.
6. Miscellaneous
