This clause is without prejudice to any rights which have arisen prior to termination of such and nothing will operate to exclude or limit the liability of any party in respect of fraud.For the purposes of these Terms, Employment Business acts as an employment business as defined within the Conduct Regulations; save where a permanent placement results, in which case Employment Business will be acting as an employment agency as defined within the Conduct Regulations.Client authorises Employment Business to act on its behalf in seeking Candidates and, if Client so requests, will advertise for Candidates through such additional methods as are agreed with Client at Client’s exclusive cost.Where there is a conflict of provisions between the main body of these terms of business and Temp Schedule, the main body of these terms of business will take precedence save where expressly provided for within the clauses herein or agreed as a variation set out within Temp Schedule.Headings contained in these Terms are for reference purposes only and will not affect the intended meanings of the clauses to which they relate.Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the singular include the plural and feminine includes masculine and vice versa.Client ObligationsClient agrees to, and where applicable will ensure End User will, be responsible for providing the working environment for Temp and any necessary resources, tools and facilities for Temp.These Terms are personal to Client and will not be assigned by it without the prior written consent of Employment Business.

in the same manner as if Temp were a direct worker or employee of Client, or of End User where applicable.
Upon request from Employment Business, Client undertakes to provide (without delay) to Employment Business accurate information about the working and employment conditions that are applicable to Client (or applicable to End User where relevant) whether by contract or by collective agreement or otherwise and will include subsequent variations thereto, that relate to Client’s (or to End User’s) employees and direct workers including (without limitation) –the standard terms and conditions that apply to their employees and those that apply to their workers;details relating to the application and calculation of, pay scales, bonuses, commission, overtime, shift allowance, unsocial hours allowance, hazardous duties, holiday pay, other related emoluments;entitlements relating to annual leave, night work, rest periods, rest breaks;benefits of monetary value including, without limitation, vouchers and stamps; andany other information as may be required by Employment Business to comply with the AWR.Where the AWR applies to Assignment, Client agrees that it will, upon request from Employment Business and without delay, provide accurate details relating to the working and employment conditions (as defined within regulation 5(2) and regulation 6 of the AWR) of Client’s (or of End User’s as is applicable) workers and/or employees who undertake the same or broadly similar work as that of Temp during Assignment.Where the AWR applies to Assignment and where applicable pursuant to information obtained under clause 3.11 above, Client will, and where applicable will ensure that End User will, apply the same or similar process as applied to assess Pay that is directly attributable to the amount or quality of the work done by Temp. For the purposes of this clause “Pay” means as defined in regulation 6(2) of the AWR.Where the AWR applies to Assignment and Temp is pregnant, Client acknowledges and agrees that, following the Qualifying Period, Client will, and where applicable will procure that End User will, permit Temp time off to attend ante-natal medical appointments and ante-natal classes.Where the AWR applies to Assignment, Client acknowledges and agrees that, following the Qualifying Period and whereupon Temp is unable to continue to provide some or all of the Services on maternity grounds due to reasons of health and safety, Client will, and where applicable will procure that End User will, undertake to make such reasonable adjustments as are necessary to allow Temp to continue providing services for the duration of Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, such reasonable adjustments will include provision of alternative work on terms no less favourable than those applicable during Assignment. If the Temp is unable to work due to health and safety on maternity grounds then Client will remain liable to pay the charges in accordance with clause 5.1 for the period of absence, net of the Employment Business’ service fee.Client undertakes and agrees to immediately notify Employment Business where a Temp has worked for Client/End User in the same or similar role as Assignment where, prior to the planned commencement of Assignment, such role is within the Qualifying Period.Client warrants and undertakes that it will not, and where applicable will procure that End User will not, seek to deny Temp’s entitlement to rights under the AWR by virtue of the structure of assignments and will at all times comply with regulation 9 of the AWR.Client warrants and undertakes that all information it provides to Employment Business under these Terms is true and accurate.Employment Business’s ObligationsEmployment Business shall use reasonable endeavours to introduce Candidates to Client who meet Client’s stated requirements.Where Employment Business and Client have agreed that Employment Business will supply Client with the services of a particular Candidate, Employment Business will give Client a Temp Schedule confirming the name of Temp, the agreed pay rates/fees, duration of Assignment, description of the Services, notice periods and any other relevant details communicated and agreed between the parties.Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that Temp co-operates with Client and complies with all Client’s reasonable and lawful instructions.Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that Temp enters into an agreement which contains an obligation on Temp to assign to Employment Business (for onward assignment to Client) or directly to Client (as directed by Client to Employment Business), intellectual property rights of whatever nature and, if capable of registration, whether registered or not, in all documents or other material and data or other information and devices or processes provided or created by Temp in the provision of the Services.Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that Temp enters into an agreement which contains an obligation on Temp to keep confidential all confidential information of Client obtained during Assignment. For the purposes of this clause 4.5, confidential information is confidential if it is clearly marked confidential or if Client states it is confidential clearly in writing to Temp.Employment Business may substitute Temp with another suitably qualified and similarly skilled Temp with reasonable notice at its absolute discretion.Employment Business is responsible for payment to Temp for work done during the Assignment and for any PAYE, National Insurance and any other statutory deductions required to comply with legislation.Charges/FeesClient agrees to pay Employment Business’s charges for the Introduction of and for the services of Temp/Candidate that are calculated as Temp’s/Candidate’s hourly charge rate plus a service fee of £5-8 on top of Temp’s/Candidate’s charge rate, unless otherwise agreed and set out within Temp Schedule.Client agrees to pay the charges set out in clause 5.1 above for the number of hours worked (to the nearest quarter hour) including a sum as detailed within Temp Schedule for Employer’s National Insurance contribution and holiday pay in accordance with the Working Time Regulations 1998, in respect of Temp.Signature by Client (or by End User where applicable) of timesheets or other verification of hours worked is confirmation of the amount of time worked by Temp and of satisfaction with the Services provided. Failure to sign/authorise the timesheet does not absolve Client of its obligation to pay the charges for the Services provided by Temp during Assignment.If Client is unable to sign a timesheet (or other agreed method of verification of hours/days) produced for authentication by Temp because Client disputes the amount of time claimed, then Client will notify Employment Business within two working days from the presentation to the client of the claimed hours/days for verification and will co-operate fully and in a timely fashion with Employment Business, including providing documentary evidence of the hours/days worked by Temp, to enable Employment Business to establish what periods of time, if any, Temp worked.With reference to clause 3.13, where such time off to attend ante-natal medical appointments and ante-natal classes falls within the normal working periods of Temp during Assignment, Client agrees to pay Employment Business’s charges, in accordance with clause 5.1, for such periods whether by inclusion of such time on a timesheet or otherwise. There are no refunds or rebates payable by Employment Business to Client (or to Client Group or, for the avoidance of doubt, End User) in respect of Employment Business’s charges.Client agrees to pay Employment Business all reasonable business expenses incurred by Temp in the provision of the Services.VAT will be payable in addition to charges/fees.Client acknowledges and agrees that Employment Business may, upon notice, increase the charge rate set out in under clause 5.1 (or as set out in the relevant Temp Schedule if applicable) in order to comply with the AWR.Client acknowledges that it has no right to set-off, withhold or deduct monies from sums due to Employment Business under these Terms.Employment Business will not be liable for fraudulent timesheets.Client acknowledges Employment Business may increase its charges where the cost of the supply of Temp increases due to a change in legislation.InvoicesEmployment Business will raise invoices weekly in respect of the charges payable and Client agrees to pay such invoices within 14 days of the date of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed and set out within Temp Schedule.All invoices will be deemed to be accepted in full by Client unless Client notifies Employment Business in writing within five days of the amount Client disputes and the reason Client disputes that amount. In the event Client does so notify Employment Business that it wishes to dispute part of an invoice, Client agrees to pay the undisputed part of the invoice within the agreed payment terms and will co-operate fully with Employment Business in order to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible.Employment Business reserves the right to charge interest on invoiced amounts overdue at the statutory rate as prescribed pursuant to Section 6 of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (and as may be calculated using the calculator on the website: www.payontime.co.uk) from the due date until the date payment is received in cleared funds and to charge compensation and further recovery costs in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2013.Termination of AssignmentsClient may instruct Employment Business, in writing, to end the Services of Temp immediately in the event of substantial non-performance or serious misconduct of Temp, provided that Client provides detailed, written confirmation of the non-performance and/or misconduct.Employment Business may end any Assignment immediately by giving Client notice in writing if Client is in material breach of these Terms.Either party may terminate Assignment prior to the end of Assignment by giving not less than 1 weeks’ notice in writing, or such other period of notice as agreed and set out in the relevant Temp Schedule. When notice of termination of Assignment is served by Client, payment for each week of notice will be based on the specified hours agreed in Temp Schedule or actual hours worked by Temp, whichever the greater. Client agrees to make payment in accordance with clauses 5 and 6 above irrespective of whether or not Temp continues to provide the Services during this notice period.In any event of termination of Assignment pursuant to clause 7.1 above, Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to provide an alternative Temp within fourteen days that in the reasonable opinion of Employment Business is suitable to provide the Services.These Terms may be terminated by either party by giving to the other immediate notice in the event that either Employment Business or Client goes into liquidation, becomes bankrupt or enters into an arrangement with creditors or has a receiver or administrator appointed or where Employment Business has reasonable grounds to believe Client will not pay Employment Business’s invoice within the payment terms agreed within clause 6.1.Notwithstanding clause 4.6, Employment Business may, at its absolute discretion and at any time, terminate Assignment upon immediate notice where in the opinion of Employment Business Temp is no longer suitable to provide the Services.Following termination (howsoever arising) of these Terms, the provisions contained within clauses 1, 2, 3.7, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 5.6, 5.7, 5.10, 5.11, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 will continue in full force and effect.Engagement of Temp by Client or Third PartiesSubject to clause 9.1, Client agrees that when Client or Client Group or End User Engages a Temp, other than through Employment Business, either during Assignment or within the Quarantine Period, Client agrees to notify Employment Business of that Engagement and agrees to pay Employment Business the Transfer Fee irrespective of the planned duration of the Engagement. No refund of the Transfer Fee will be paid in the event that the Engagement subsequently terminates.VAT is payable in addition to any fee due.The transfer fee is 10% of annual salary with a minimum fee of £2000 if the candidate is engaged prior to completing 30 working days.Subject to clause 9.2, where there has been an Introduction of a Candidate to Client which does not immediately result in the supply of the services of that Candidate by Employment Business to Client, but which later leads to an Engagement of Candidate by Client or by Client Group or by End User (howsoever arising) within 6 months from the date of Introduction, Client agrees to notify Employment Business of that Engagement and agrees to pay the Transfer Fee in accordance with clause 8.1 above. VAT, where applicable, is payable in addition to any fee due.All Introductions are confidential. If Client passes details of a Candidate and/or Temp to any third party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Client Group or End User) resulting in the Engagement of that Candidate and/or Temp, then Client agrees to pay the Transfer Fee. VAT, where applicable, is payable in addition to any fee due.Client acknowledges and agrees that where it fails to notify Employment Business of the actual Remuneration/fees it (or where applicable, Client Group or End User) intends to (directly or indirectly) pay Candidate/Temp, Employment Business will be entitled to calculate the Transfer Fee based on comparable market rates for similar roles.For the avoidance of doubt, no refund of the Transfer Fee will be paid in the event that the Engagement subsequently terminates.Alternative Hire PeriodAs an alternative to the Transfer Fee agreed in clause 8.1 Client may provide Employment Business with written notice in accordance with clause 7.3 above and to require Employment Business to supply the services of Temp for a further period set out as the Alternative Hire Period, during which period Client will pay the charges agreed pursuant to clause 5.1.As an alternative to the Transfer Fee agreed in clause 8.3, Client may provide Employment Business with five (5) days written notice to require Employment Business to supply the services of Temp for the Alternative Hire Period, during which period Client agrees to pay the charges agreed pursuant to clause 5.1 above or where none agreed, pursuant to market rate in the sole opinion of Employment Business.Upon completion of the entire duration of Alternative Hire Period and the payment in full of invoices relating thereto, Client may engage with Temp directly or indirectly without any additional payment to Employment Business.Where Client does not give such notice as required within clauses 9.1 and 9.2 before Candidate/Temp is Engaged, Client acknowledges and agrees that Transfer Fee will become due in full to Employment Business.Pursuant to clauses 9.1 and 9.2 above, a further Temp Schedule will be issued by Employment Business and these Terms will continue in full force and effect during the Alternative Hire Period.In the event Temp or Candidate ceases to provide services for whatever reason during the Alternative Hire Period, Client acknowledges and agrees that the Transfer Fee will become due, minus the portion directly relating to the gross profit of Employment Business paid by Client to Employment Business during the period of the Alternative Hire Period that Candidate or Temp completed. For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no refund of any fees or charges paid by Client to Employment Business in relation to the Alternative Hire Period and/or Transfer Fee.Data ProtectionFor the purposes of this clause 10 "Data Subject" means as set out in, and will be interpreted in accordance with Data Protection Legislation. For the avoidance of doubt, Data Subject includes Candidate and Temp.The parties hereto acknowledge that Employment Business is a Data Controller in respect of the Personal Data of Candidate/Temp and provides such Personal Data to Client in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation for the purposes anticipated by these Terms.The parties hereto acknowledge that Client is a Data Controller but the parties hereto are not Joint Controllers (as defined within Data Protection Legislation) save where a specific agreement is made to that effect between the parties hereto.The parties hereto agree that Temp is not Client's Data Processor (as defined within Data Protection Legislation) save where agreed otherwise within a Temp Schedule and subject to additional terms and conditions.The parties hereto warrant to each other that any Personal Data relating to a Data Subject, whether provided by Client, Employment Business or by Candidate or Temp, will be used, Processed and recorded by the receiving party in accordance with Data Protection Legislation.The parties hereto will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to adequately protect all Personal Data against accidental loss, destruction or damage, alteration or disclosure.Client will -comply with the instruction of Employment Business as regards the transfer/sharing of data between the parties hereto. If Client requires Personal Data not already in its control to be provided by Employment Business, Client will set out their legal basis for the request of such data and accept that Employment Business may refuse to share/transfer such Personal Data where, in the reasonable opinion of Employment Business, it does not comply with its obligations in accordance with Data Protection Legislation; andnot cause Employment Business to breach any of their obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.In the event Client becomes aware of an actual or any reasonably suspected Personal Data Breach, it will immediately notify Employment Business and will provide Employment Business with a description of the Personal Data Breach, the categories of data that was the subject of the Personal Data Breach and the identity of each Data Subject affected and any other information Employment Business reasonably requests relating to the Personal Data Breach.In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Client will promptly (at its own expense) provide such information, assistance and cooperation and do such things as Employment Business may request to -investigate and defend any claim or regulatory investigation;mitigate, remedy and/or rectify such breach; andprevent future breaches.

Client agrees to allow and reasonably assist Employment Business in complying with its legal obligations regarding the introduction of Candidate/s and supply of Services by Temp. Where it is foreseeable that Temp will work hours in contravention to the provisions of the Working Time Regulations, Client will provide written notice to Employment Business in good time prior to the commencement of Assignment. Employment Business will ask if Temp is willing to sign the relevant opt-out under the Working Time Regulations.Employment Business is providing resourcing services comprising of sourcing, introduction and payroll administration in relation to Services performed by Temp and accordingly, Employment Business does not accept any liability, howsoever arising, for the quality of services provided by Temp, save for death or personal injury caused by Employment Business’s direct negligence.Save where required by law, the parties hereto are not liable for-any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of revenue, depletion of goodwill, pure economic loss, loss of anticipated savings, damages, charges, expenses and/or similar losses; orany special, indirect or consequential losses.Save as required by law, the sole aggregate liability of Employment Business to Client arising in connection with these Terms will be limited to £10,000IndemnityClient agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified Employment Business against any costs, claims or liabilities incurred directly or indirectly by Employment Business arising out of or in connection with these Terms including (without limitation) as a result of:any breach of these Terms by Client (including its employees, subcontractors and agents); andany breach by Client, or any of its employees or agents, of any applicable statutory provisions (including, without limitation, any statutory provisions prohibiting or restricting discrimination or other inequality of opportunity).GeneralEmployment Business is not liable for any delay or failure in performance of its obligations to Client where this arises from matters outside its reasonable control.Any failure by Employment Business to enforce at any particular time any one or more of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such rights or of the right to enforce these Terms subsequently.If any provision, clause or part-clause of these Terms is held to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by any judicial body, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.No provision of these Terms will be enforceable by any person who is not a party to it pursuant to the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 ("the Act"). This does not, however, affect any right or remedy of a third party that exists or is available independently of the Act.Without prejudice to clause 2.2, whereupon these Terms and/or Temp Schedule/s are executed by the signature of duly authorised representatives of the parties this forms a binding agreement and will supersede all previous agreements or representations whether written or oral including without limitation Client’s terms and conditions, purchase order or other Client documents with respect to the provision of services set out herein provided by Employment Business.
