Ltd (“BC” “we” “us” “our”) and the Client
(the “Organization” “you”, “your”) for the provision of consultancy
services by BC to the Organization.
Services
We agree
to supply consultancy services (the “Services” ) as you may have
requested or may request in writing (including by e-mail) be
supplied by us to you and for which we have subsequently confirmed
our acceptance to you in writing as outlined in our 'Letter of
Engagement'.
The Services will be performed
by us in a timely and professional manner, with reasonable care and
skill and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations;
however, time for performance of the Services will not be of the
essence of our contract with you.
Term
Subject to any earlier
termination in accordance with these terms, BC agree to provide the
Services to the Organization on such dates as are agreed between us
and you and confirmed by us in writing (the “Term”). The Term may
be extended or varied by mutual agreement between BC and the
Organization.
Consultants
We will allocate suitably
qualified personnel for the performance of the Services and we will
remain responsible for paying the remuneration and expenses of such
personnel. You and we acknowledge that such personnel will not
become the employees of the Organization.
BC reserves the right to engage
a suitably qualified consultant to perform the Services on our
behalf at any time during the Term providing that BC will be
primarily liable for the remuneration and expenses of such
consultant and the submission of accurate invoices to the Company
in respect of the consultant’s services.
Termination &
cancellation
We may terminate our agreement
with you at any time by giving you one week's written notice. You
may terminate your agreement with us at any time by giving us two
weeks’ written notice. Please note that in the case of long-term
contracts the aforementioned period should be expressed in months
and not weeks.
Either you or we may terminate
this agreement without notice and with immediate effect at any time
if the other party is in material or persistent breach of our
terms.
Where you request the
cancellation of the Services (or any part thereof), by giving BC
not less than 10 calendar days' notice, BC reserves the right to
charge 50 per cent of the fees which would be payable in respect of
those Services (or part thereof).
If you cancel the Services (or
any part thereof), within 48 hours of the commencement of the same,
BC reserves the right to charge you for the total fees payable in
respect of those Services (or part thereof).For long-term contracts
these aspects will be specifically detailed in the contract,
however, the Company will incur in an economic sanction when
cancelling the contract without respecting the agreed notice
period.
Fees and
expenses
In consideration of the Services
to be provided by us, you will pay us the daily fee as more
particularly described in the 'Letter of Engagement'.
We will provide you with an
invoice for fees due in respect of the Services rendered on
completion of the relevant Services that were provided by us. All
such invoices will be payable within 30 days from the date of
invoice.
You will reimburse us all our
reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in providing the
Services.
Liability and
insurance
You acknowledge and agree that
our total liability to you arising under or in connection with the
agreement as outlined in these terms and our 'Letter of
Engagement', whether arising in contract, tort (including
negligence) or restitution, or for breach of statutory duty or
misrepresentation, or otherwise shall be limited to an amount equal
to the value of the Services being provided to you by
BC.
Nothing in these terms seeks to
exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused
by our negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation.
You acknowledge and agree that
the performance of the Services by BC shall in no circumstances
whatsoever (a) reduce or otherwise impact on your obligations to
comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; and (b)
grant any protection, defense or safeguard against your liability
for any breach of any applicable laws, rules and
regulations.

you are solely responsible for managing your business, for taking
all decisions in respect of your business and other operational
matters and for using your judgment to consider whether or not to
implement any recommendation, or to follow any other advice we may
give you in the course of the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that
the we do not offer legal or financial advice and that no part of
the Services shall constitute legal or financial advice from us to
you, and that you are responsible for seeking your own independent
legal and financial advice on all matters relating to the Services
as you may consider appropriate.

information

information” to mean any information or matter which is not in the
public domain and which relates to the affairs of the

to any person or entity either during the Term or at any time after
