| 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 traveling, 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, 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 day'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.
