Terms & Conditions

Conditions

1. These terms and conditions, together with the terms present in the Services Nolichem Consultancy Limited, shall apply to all services which we deliver to you (‘Buyer’). The Buyer’s written request for work (hardcopy format, by electronic mail or by post), constitutes an offer to purchase Services from Nolichem Consultancy Limited (‘Seller’) in accordance with these terms and conditions. Any such offer shall only be deemed accepted when Nolichem Consultancy Limited issues a written acceptance either by electronic mail or by post at which point a contract will come into existence between us (‘Contract’).
2. 2. Except to the extent that these terms and conditions are varied by us in writing, they shall constitute the entire agreement between us in respect of any Contract and shall prevail over your own terms and conditions. The Buyer agrees that in entering into any Contract, the Buyer shall not rely on any representation or understanding, whether oral or in writing, which is not included or referred to in these terms and conditions.

Fees

3.1 Where an hourly rate applies, it is payable in units of 30 minutes in respect of all of the Services that are provided on your or any associated party’s behalf by any of our employees, subcontractors or agents.

3.2 Our fees are set out in the Services Nolichem Consultancy Limited document. Any applicable fixed or discounted fees will be agreed in writing. All our charges are reviewed in September each year and may be increased, in which case you will be notified in writing and such increase will take effect from the date of that notice.

3.3 In addition to the fees set out in clauses 3.1 and 3.2 above, notwithstanding any other provision in these terms and conditions, the Buyer will be responsible for all costs and disbursements properly incurred by us in the provision of Services to you. The Buyer will pay such costs and disbursements in advance on demand. Nolichem Consultancy Limited also reserves the right to charge you for out of pocket expenses which are reasonably incurred by our employees, subcontractors or agents in the provision of the Services.

We agree at your request to provide reasonable evidence of the payment of such expenses.

3.4 All our fees are subject to the addition of Value Added Tax or any other tax required by Law at the prevailing rate.

3.5 Nolichem Consultancy Limited shall usually invoice you for the Services in arrears on completion of the Services, but reserve the right to invoice you at any time. Payment shall be due and payable on receipt of our invoice. In addition to our other rights, if payment is not received within 7 days of the date of our invoice we shall be entitled to charge you interest on any outstanding amount in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. The rate shall apply both before and after judgment.

3.6 The Buyer shall pay for any bank charges associated with international payments and foreign currency payments.
