FRAMEWORK SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS (UK AND IRELAND)
1. Formation of Contract
1.1 These terms and conditions, including the relevant service specific terms set out in Annex 1 (“Terms and Conditions”), together with any quotation, proposal, estimate or fee quote ("Quotation") provided by or on behalf of the Company (as defined below), shall apply to the services (“Services”) described in the Quotation and carried out by the entity noted on the Quotation (“Company”) to the customer noted in the Quotation (“Customer”).
1.2 These Terms and Conditions shall supersede and override any terms or conditions contained in or referred to in the Customer's purchase order or acceptance of a quotation or specification and shall prevail over any inconsistent terms or conditions contained or referred to in the Company’s confirmation of order or implied by law (unless the law in question cannot be excluded), trade custom, practice or course of dealing. Any phrase introduced by the terms “including”, “include”, “in particular” or any similar expression, shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding those terms.
1.3 Unless otherwise specified therein, Quotations shall be valid for sixty (60) days from the date thereof and the Company may withdraw any such Quotation at any time. No Quotation given by the Company shall be an offer to contract with any person and contract shall only come into existence in accordance with sub-condition 1.4
1.4 The Customer's purchase order or the Customer's acceptance of a Quotation constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Services specified in the Quotation upon these Terms and Conditions and the relevant service specific terms based on Services purchased. No offer placed by the Customer shall be accepted by the Company, other than by a written acknowledgement issued by the Company or (if earlier) by the Company starting to provide the Services, when a contract for the supply and purchase of those Services on these Terms and Conditions will be established (the “Contract”).
1.5 No acceptance or acknowledgement, even if in writing and signed by the Company, of the Customer’s purchase order or any other document pertaining to the Services shall constitute acceptance of any provision of the Customer’s purchase order or any other document that conflicts with or adds to these Terms and Conditions unless the Company specifically agrees to such a variation of these Terms and Conditions pursuant to and in accordance with sub-condition 2.1.
1.6 In the event of any conflict between the terms of a Quotation and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and conditions shall take priority unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing by the Company.
2. Variation including Cancellation, Postponement and Amendment
2.1 These Terms and Conditions may not be varied or waived by either party unless the variation or waiver is in writing and is signed by an officer or duly authorised signatory of the Company. The variation or waiver must set out the condition(s) or sub-condition(s) to be varied or waived and the detail of each such variation or waiver.
2.2 The Customer may cancel, postpone or amend any order (in whole or in part) at any time, provided that the Customer shall pay to the Company the full amount of the Consideration (as defined in sub-condition 3.1) relating to such order plus all Costs (as defined in sub-condition 3.1) relating to such order incurred by the Company prior to the date of the cancellation, postponement or amendment plus any other losses, expenses and costs incurred by the Company as a result of the cancellation, postponement or amendment.
2.3 The Company reserves the right to review and amend any Quotation prices where documentation, specification or other materials relating to the Contract have materially changed since the original Quotation was given or where additional services not envisaged by the Quotation are requested, for example, producing written descriptions of detailed procedures undertaken as part of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, approval of such additional requests shall remain at the Company's discretion. If there are any variations in the cost of materials, labour or otherwise during the period of the Contract, the price may, at the absolute discretion of the Company, be adjusted to account for such variation. The changed or additional Services will be invoiced at the rate ruling at the date of the invoice unless they have been the subject of a further Quotation.
3. Prices & Payment
3.1 The Customer shall pay the Company the charges set out in the Quotation, if applicable, or as otherwise contemplated for the provision of the Services (“Consideration”) and shall pay the Company on demand for any expenses incurred in the provision of the Services ("Costs"), unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
3.2 Any other charges stated separately from the Consideration are payable by the Customer at the time of invoice, and shall be treated as part of the Consideration.
3.3 Unless otherwise agreed in Quotation, the Company may issue invoices in respect of Services as follows:
3.3.1 40% of the Consideration as an up-front payment on signature of the Contract;
3.3.2 60% of the Consideration upon completion of the Services, save where the services are subject to Part A of Annex 1 in which case 30% shall be payable on completion of the analysis and 30% shall be payable following the issue of a draft Report.
Company may require satisfactory credit references before accepting a new Customer and prepayment of up to 100% of the first Contract.
3.4 The Customer shall pay the Consideration and Costs stated in any invoice for Services provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions in full, without deduction or set-off, within thirty (30) days of the date stated on that invoice. The Consideration shall be paid free and clear of, and without deduction for and on account of, tax, unless the Customer is required by law to make such payment subject to the deduction of withholding tax; in which case the sum paid by the Customer shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that after such deduction or withholding the Company receives an amount equal to Consideration and Costs it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
3.5 The Customer shall pay the Consideration and Costs to the Company by electronic bank transfer in cleared funds in the currency specified in the Company’s Quotation, proposal or order confirmation. All payments due to the Company shall be payable within the specified time irrespective of whether or not the Customer has recovered payment from a third party.
3.6 In default of payment within the thirty (30) days, the Company may: suspend any further Services being carried out for the Customer (including the right to withhold reports); alter or withdraw credit terms; and amend terms, prices or service levels. Company does not accept any responsibility for the consequences of withholding reports or discontinuing services in such circumstances. The amount outstanding from time to time shall bear interest, calculated from the due date of the invoice to the date of receipt of the amount in full at a rate equivalent to 5% per annum above the base rate from time to time of HSBC Bank in the relevant currency. Further, Company reserves the right to forward unpaid accounts to a debt- collecting agency at Customer’s cost.
3.7 The Company may retain or set off any sums owed to it by the Customer which have fallen due and payable against any sums due to the Customer under this Contract or any other agreement between the parties or any of their Group Companies. If the Customer pays any amount to Company without apportioning it between specific debts or liabilities it shall be apportioned as Company thinks fit. Partial payment may be attributed to one or more specific items, rather than to all the items, which are the subject of a particular agreement. For this paragraph, "Group Company" means, in relation to a company, that company, any subsidiary or holding company of that company, and any subsidiary of a holding company of that company.
3.8 The Customer undertakes that during the provision of the Services and for 6 months following completion thereof, the Customer shall not:
3.8.1 solicit or entice away (or assist anyone else in soliciting or enticing away) any member of the Company’s staff with whom the Customer has had dealings in connection with the Contract and/or the provision of the Services during the 12 months immediately prior to the earlier of the date of the Customer's purchase order or the date of the Quotation; or
3.8.2 employ (directly or through a third party) any person as referred to in sub-condition 3.8.1 or engage them in any way to provide services to the Customer. For clarity, this shall not apply in respect of any member of the Company’s staff who without having been previously approached directly or indirectly by the Customer responds to an advertisement placed by the Customer or on the Customer’s behalf.
In the event of a breach of this undertaking, which leads to the departure of any person as referred to in sub-condition 3.8.1, the Customer will pay to the Company, on demand, a sum equivalent to 50% of the total annual remuneration package paid by the Company to the individual prior to his or her departure. The Customer acknowledges that this provision is a fair and reasonable term intended to be a genuine assessment of the likely loss to the Company.
4. Services
4.1 Subject to the remaining sub-conditions of this condition 4, the Company warrants that it will complete the Services in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards.
4.2 The Customer shall give the Company notice of any defects in the Service as soon as it is aware of them and shall in any event give Company detailed notice in writing of those defects within three (3) months of the Services being supplied. The Customer may not make any claim except when it has given notice as required by this condition. Where Company agrees the Services are defective, a suitable timeframe for any defect remediation will be mutually agreed by Company and the Customer.
4.3 The Company will use its reasonable endeavours to complete Services by any date reasonably requested in writing by the Customer, but the Company shall not be liable to the Customer for: (i) any delay in the performance of any obligation under the Contract; or (ii) damages suffered by the Customer by reason of such delay. For clarity, Company does not guarantee any date that is given by way of estimate only.
4.4 The Company’s obligation to complete Services under the Contract shall be subject to any obligation it may have to comply with any law or other regulation binding on it which may be in force from time to time.
4.5 No employee, agent or other person is authorised to give any warranty or make any representation on behalf of the Company in relation to the Contract, or to assume for the Company any other liability in connection with the Services, unless such warranty, representation or assumption of liability is given by Company to the Customer in accordance with sub-condition 2.1.
4.6 The Customer shall supply as much information as possible, including a unique purchase order number, reference or authorization, about each Service requirement in order to assist in achieving an efficient service.
4.7 The Customer represents and warrants to the Company the completeness and accuracy of all documents and information supplied to the Company for the purposes of the Company fulfilling the Services, both at the time of supply and subsequently. It is a material condition of this Contract that Services will be provided by the Company on the basis that full disclosure is made by the Customer of all information and documentation which may affect such work.
4.8 Customer is responsible for providing all required information for the Characterisation of Test Articles (as defined in the OECD Environment Health and Safety Publications Series on Principles of Good Laboratory Practice ("GLP") and Compliance Monitoring ( No. 19 – Advisory Document of the Working Group on GLP on the Management, Characterisation and Use of Test Items)). Customer acknowledges that any failure to provide such information may lead to a GLP study being non-compliant, for which Company shall not be held liable.
