2. The Client agrees: a) to notify the Agency immediately an engagement is accepted and b) to pay the fee of the Agency within ten days of receipt of the account.

VAT will be charged in addition to the fee.
4. Should the relevant engagement terminate before the expiry of 3 weeks, you are entitled to a refund less a charge under our temporary scale for each week our applicant has been with you, provided that the client notifies the Agency in writing within 7 days of the termination and has paid the Agency's fee within 10 days of the date of the invoice. Furthermore our full fee reamains due and/or no refund will be given if the offer of employment is cancelled or the employment is terminated due to any reason whatsoever, other than the unsuitability of our applicant.

6. Introductions are confidential. The passing on of an introduction to another employer which results in an engagement renders the Client liable to a payment of the Agency's fee, in full
7. An introduction fee is calculated in accordance with paragraph 3 of those terms and will be charged in relation to any applicant engaged as a consequence or of resulting from an introduction by or through the Agency, even though the introduction may be made indirectly.

The Client shall notwithstanding satisfy him/herself as to the suitability of any applicant and shall take up references provided by the applicant and/or the Agency before engaging such applicant. The Client shall be responsible for obtaining work and other permits, for the arrangement of any medical examinations and/or investigations into the medical history of any applicant, if required and satisfy any medical and other requirements or qualifications required by law.
