Purchase Order Terms
*** Standard Purchase Order Terms ***
Terms of Business
Any work which we agree to carry out will be on these terms to the exclusion of any terms proposed by you.
If you are utilising our services as part of the provision by you of "value added" services to one of your clients,
you may not, as part of your agreement with your client, seek to prevent or deter your client
(by requiring a fee to be paid to you by the client or otherwise) from itself being or becoming a client of ours.
We provide services as an independent contractor utilising our directors, employees or subcontractors as we see fit.
In the event that we agree as part of such services to attend your business premises,
even on a regular basis, no director, employee or subcontractor of ours shall come under the control of you or any other person.
We reserve the right to invoice for staged payments at any time
(but not more frequently that once in any period of 7 days) for services provided,
and we have the right to suspend or terminate services if any invoice remains unpaid for 7 days.
We may also charge interest on any amount which remains unpaid for more than 7 days after the invoice issue date.
The rate of interest shall be 8% over the Bank of England Official Dealing Rate.
We will provide the services with reasonable care and skill.
In the event that either party suffers any damage loss or injury which is caused by any breach of these terms by the other party
and which (in the reasonable contemplation of the parties at the time it was agreed that the services would be provided)
was a likely consequence of such a breach, the party at fault shall pay damages to the other party.
Except in the case of death or personal injury, caused by negligence, damages shall be limited to £50,000.
We shall not be liable for any failure in the performance of any of our obligations which is caused by
incorrect or incomplete information provided by you or caused by any other factor outside our control.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing signed by us, all dates for delivery of the services are estimates only.
