TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS

These terms and conditions (“the Conditions”) alone shall govern and be incorporated in every contract for the provision of services (“the Services”) by or on behalf of eccora Ltd (“the Company”) with any person (“the Client”). Using the services of the Company will signify your acceptance of our Terms and Conditions of Business.

ESTIMATES & PRICING

1. Unless otherwise stated, all estimates are intended as a guide. Estimates will remain valid for a period of three months from the date of submission and, unless specified, exclude all taxes. Estimates are not to be construed as an undertaking or warranty as to results.
2. Terms of payment are strictly net, unless otherwise stated in writing. The Company will submit invoices in respect of the actual charges incurred by the Company at monthly intervals which are payable in Sterling and due for payment within 30 days of the date of invoice. Time of payment shall be of the essence of the contract between the Company and the Client.
3. The Company reserves the right to set a credit limit against each client and reserves the right to suspend all assignments when payment has not been received by the due date or where such credit limit is reached or exceeded. Additionally, we reserve the right to seek pre-payment or adequate funds on account in advance of carrying out any work. This may be required for new clients, or in cases where an existing client has previously been a bad debtor, or where the client is in a poor financial position.
4. Please note that for all invoices that have not been paid within 90 days of the first invoice date, we will invoice an additional 7.5 per cent of the total for late payment and administrative charges. If the invoices remain unpaid at 120 days after first issue date an additional invoice of 10 per cent of the total will be issued every 30 days. This is without prejudice to any of the Company’s other rights and remedies in respect of such breach.
5. Questions arising from the submission of an invoice or conduct of an assignment will not be entertained by the Company unless raised prior to the due date for payment.

INSTRUCTIONS & PAYMENT

1. All oral instructions must be confirmed in writing. We accept no liability for any misunderstandings or misinterpretation of oral instructions.
2. It is important that we are able to identify who is responsible for settlement of all our invoices and for reimbursement of all our costs and expenses. Unless we have a written agreement with a third party, we will always consider the instructing party as our principal/client and therefore also as the one responsible for costs and payments in the case. Payment for our Services is not dependent on funds being received by the Client from any third-party.

COMPLETION OF SERVICES & FORCE MAJEURE

1. The Company shall not be liable to the Client in any way whatsoever for any delay in completing the Services agreed upon by the Company and the Client. The Company reserves the right to suspend the provision of any Services which have not been carried out by virtue of any cause over which the Company has no control.

USE OF REPORTS & FILES

1. Reports shall be submitted by the Company to the Client will remain the property of the Company and are not transferable to any third party.
2. No report shall be used by the Client until payment has been made, at which time ownership in any report shall pass to the Client.

LIABILITY

1. Subject to Condition 2 the Client shall indemnify the Company from any liability, costs and other expenses directly or indirectly incurred or suffered by the Company in connection with claims or proceedings brought against the Company by third parties resulting from their actions in accordance with the Client’s instructions.
2. The Company shall be responsible towards the Client in the event of the latter suffering direct loss attributable to a wilful and/or negligent breach by the Company of any of its obligations under the contract (“the Breach”), PROVIDED always that the Company’s liability in respect of any loss (including all manner of costs, fees and expenses) shall not exceed £500,000 and for the avoidance of doubt the Company shall be deemed not to have committed a Breach when acting upon instructions from the Client.

CONFIDENTIALITY

1. Information and reports exchanged between the Client and the Company are private and confidential and are accurate to the best of the knowledge of each at the time of submission. They are submitted without prejudice and are provided for the exclusive use of the Client or the Company and their agents and advisers. The content of any reports will not be divulged by either parties to any third party without the prior consent of the other.

GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION

1. The construction, validity and performance of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of England and Wales and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to resolve any dispute arising between them.
