| TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
FOR THE PROVISION OF CONSULTANCY SERVICES
1. These terms and conditions are deemed to be incorporated
in all Contracts for Services, either by written or verbal agreement,
provided by WESSEX FORUM("The Consultant").
2. The purpose of any agreement
and/or 'Assignment' is to provide specific assistance to the Client
in the form of identifying any adverse factors in physical or financial
performance of those areas of the Client's operation identified
and/or specified by the Client, and through thorough investigation
to present solutions and strategies to eradicate their causes and
improve the business situation, and, with the Client's permission,
assist the Client to fully implement those solutions and strategies.
The Assignment will be carried out in the minimum time possible
with the Consultant providing appropriate qualified staff to undertake
the services contracted for in the agreement and/or Assignment.
2. The achievement of the results
depends in part on the effective co-operation of the Client. Accordingly
the Consultant does not accept responsibility for any consequential
liability arising from the Assignment nor for delay caused by circumstances
beyond its control. Under no circumstance will the Consultant's
liability for any loss or damage, direct or consequential, however
caused, which may arise directly or indirectly from the agreement
and/or Assignment, exceed the fee charged for the Assignment, or
one month of a retainer agreement, whichever is the lesser.
3. The Client will make available
to the Consultant such records, data and other information as in
the opinion of the Consultant are necessary for the timely performance
of the Assignment. The Client will provide office facilities and
telecommunications as appropriate. The Consultant will use all reasonable
endeavours to ensure that any Assignment is carried out competently,
professionally and to time. All recommendations will be made in
good faith and on the basis of information to hand at the time.
4. The Consultant will at all times
comply with the Statement on Standards of Professional Conduct of
the Consultant and with the Code of Professional Conduct of the
Institute of Management Consultants. In particular, any information
disclosed to the Consultant in the course of the Assignment will
be treated in confidence and will not be passed to any third party
without the express permission of the Client, except as may be necessary
in furtherance of the Assignment.
5. The fees chargeable for any Assignment
are at the agreed rate per day plus travelling, subsistence and
out of pocket expenses, and Value Added Tax. The Client will pay
the Consultant the total agreed fee in respect of the Assignment
whether carried out wholly or substantially at the Client's premises
or elsewhere.
6. The Consultant will present invoices
for payment of the fees either daily, weekly, monthly, or at the
end of, or at any break in, the Assignment, as is agreed between
the Consultant and the Client at the commencement of the Assignment.
Any additional work, over and above the stated time commitment,
will be separately agreed by both parties, and the fees, based on
the Consultant's normal daily fee rate will be separately invoiced.
All invoices for fees and services provided by the Consultant will
be due for payment in full at the time of presentation.
7. Unless otherwise agreed, either
the Consultant or the Client may terminate the Assignment without
penalty by giving one calendar month's notice to that effect in
writing, in which event the Consultant will pass the benefit of
any work in progress to the Client, and the Client will pay the
Consultant's fees and expenses up to the end of the period of notice,
at the time of giving notice.
