  • Leading Resolutions shall provide the Services to the Customer, and where agreed the Customer Group, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Assignment Schedule.
  • Entering into this Agreement alone does not oblige Leading Resolutions to provide, or the Customer, and/or the Customer Group as the context requires, to accept or pay for, any Services. Where it is agreed between the parties that Services are to be provided, an Assignment Schedule setting out the nature of the Services will be produced by Leading Resolutions and signed by both parties prior to the commencement date.
  • An Assignment Schedule shall become binding upon the signature of both parties, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to the Assignment Schedule.
  • Due to the nature of the work to be undertaken by Leading Resolutions, both parties accept that it may be necessary, from time to time, to agree to alter or adapt the Services provided by Leading Resolutions and therefore the scope, timescales and any agreed Deliverables as detailed in the Assignment Schedule. The parties therefore accept that any changes or additions to the Services, the payments as set out in the Assignment Schedule subject always to clause 3 of this Agreement, will be valid only if agreed in writing by Leading Resolutions and the Customer and duly authorised by an appropriate representative of each party.
  • Each party is responsible for the management, direction, control, and compensation of its own Staff.

  • Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Leading Resolutions shall use reasonable endeavours to comply with any scope, timescales and any Deliverables or other targets as detailed in the applicable Assignment Schedule. In relation to such scope, timescales and any Deliverables, time shall not be of the essence in relation to this Agreement and the delivery of the Services unless agreed as such within the Assignment Schedule. Where time is of the essence both parties shall agree and document a collaborative delivery plan which shall be referenced within the Assignment Schedule.

3.  Payments

  • In consideration of Leading Resolutions providing the Services the Customer shall pay to Leading Resolutions an undisputed amount calculated in accordance with the applicable Assignment Schedule unless agreed otherwise in writing.
  • All undisputed fees shall be payable by the Customer free of deduction, set off or counterclaim within 30 days of the date of invoice. In the case of any part-disputed invoice the undisputed part will be paid in accordance with this sub-clause and the disputed part will be dealt with under clause 13.6. Leading Resolutions will secure an appropriate contact and will further ensure each invoice to include the agreed assignment authorised purchase order number obtained from the Customer specific to the Services provided. The Customer agrees to provide any required purchase order number or comply with any other internal requirement of the Customer in a timely manner.
  • The charge for the Services shall, unless otherwise stated, be exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which shall be payable by the Customer subject to receipt of a valid VAT invoice.
  • If any sum payable to Leading Resolutions under this Agreement is not paid by the date on which it is due, then (without prejudice to any other available remedy), subject to Leading Resolutions providing the Customer with written notice at least five (5) days’ prior to charging such interest, interest will accrue on the overdue amount at the rate of two (2%) per cent over the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time from the date the payment is due until payment is made (calculated on an annual basis but accruing daily) and Leading Resolutions reserves the right in its discretion to suspend provision of all or any part of the Services without liability for any consequence.

4.  Duration and Termination

4.1                        Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise by operation of law, this Agreement shall start on the date that both parties have signed this Agreement and shall continue in force for an initial term until the day immediately prior to the fifth anniversary of the date this Agreement is signed by both parties (“Initial Term”). This Agreement shall then continue on an annual basis (subject to express rights of termination in this Agreement) unless and until terminated by either party on 3 months’ prior written notice to expire no earlier than the end of the Initial Term or the then next anniversary of the end of the Initial Term. Each discrete assignment for Services shall start on the date specified in the applicable Assignment Schedule, and shall continue for the period stated in that Assignment Schedule unless completed earlier to the Customer’s satisfaction, or terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Assignment Schedules shall not automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but will continue in accordance with their terms.
4.2                        Either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party no less than 30 days’ written notice. Each Assignment Schedule may be terminated by either party by giving the other party not less than the period of notice specified in that Assignment Schedule.
4.3                        In the event of conflict between the terms of this Agreement and an Assignment Schedule, this Agreement will take precedence except to the extent that the Assignment Schedule expressly varies this Agreement.
4.4                        Either party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and all then current Assignment Schedules forthwith on notice at any time if:

  2. an encumbrancer takes possession, or a receiver is appointed, over any of the other party’s property or assets; or

4.5                             Termination or expiry of this Agreement for whatever reason shall be without prejudice to the accrued rights, remedies and obligations of the parties.
5.1                             The Customer shall be responsible for the accuracy of the content of all documents, data or other materials provided to Leading Resolutions during the course of this Agreement and all Assignment Schedules.
5.2                             The Customer acknowledges that Leading Resolutions has expended considerable resource in sourcing, training and maintaining its Personnel to perform the Services. Accordingly, the Customer agrees that in the event that the Customer or any other company within the Customer’s Group to which Leading Resolutions provides any Services, employs or engages such Personnel either within three months of the Personnel having been introduced to and interviewed by the Customer, during the currency of any Assignment associated with this Agreement, within a period of six months after the expiry or termination of any such Assignment (including any extension), or whilst working for Leading Resolutions in any capacity whatsoever, whether as an employee or in a self-employed capacity (and whether directly or indirectly through another legal entity) then the Customer shall pay Leading Resolutions on demand a sum equal to a placement fee of 40% of the annual gross starting salary payable to the individual (or if the services are supplied in a self-employed or other capacity, 40% of the total fee which is payable) during the first 12 months of any such engagement.
The Customer further acknowledges that this payment represents a genuine pre-estimate of the placement fee which would be typically payable for the permanent placement or introduction of such Personnel at the level of experience and expertise required and is therefore not a penalty.
