2.             SUPPLY OF THE SERVICES

2.1.          The Supplier shall supply or make available the Services to the Consumer in accordance with the terms of, and the Specifications set out in, this Agreement in relation to each Service with reasonable skill and care.  The Charges are predicated on the nature and extent of the provision of the Services to the Consumer after the Commencement Date being consistent with the nature and extent of such Services as they were provided by the Supplier to the Target Business in the twelve months prior to the Commencement Date. Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to any express provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Supplier shall not be obliged to provide a level, extent or type of Service which is materially more extensive, different or more onerous from that previously provided by the Supplier to the Target Business in the twelve months prior to the Commencement Date.  Any dispute regarding the level, extent or type of Service shall be dealt with in accordance with Clause 11.

(ii) the allocation of Services in circumstances of restricted availability of supply.

2.3.          If either party wishes to change the nature, volume or cost of the Services provided under this Agreement, that party shall make a request to the other party in writing setting out in as much detail as reasonably possible the change required and the reason for requesting the change.  The other party shall consider the request in good faith with a view to implementing it if it can reasonably do so provided always that no change to the nature, volume or cost of the Services shall be implemented without the prior consent of the other party.

2.4.          If, by agreement between the parties, the Consumer decides to offer permanent employment to any of the Supplier’s staff who would have been part of the resources providing the Services to the Consumer, and they accept such offers, the Supplier and the Consumer will review the extent and cost of the relevant Service and make any necessary adjustment.

2.5.          The Supplier shall provide the Consumer with copies of any relevant health and safety information and product literature in relation to the Services that it may possess.

3.             CHARGES

The Charges shall be invoiced on a monthly basis, in arrears, in respect of calendar months, and shall be paid by the 30th day after an original invoice is received.  All payments shall be made by wire transfer to a bank designated by the Supplier or by such other method as the parties may agree.

3.2.                              All sums payable by one party to another party pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of VAT.

3.3.                              If the Supplier makes a taxable supply to the Consumer for VAT purposes pursuant to this Agreement:

3.3.1.       the Consumer shall pay to the Supplier (in addition to any other consideration for that supply) a sum equal to the amount of VAT which is or becomes chargeable on that supply for which the Supplier has the liability to account to the relevant Tax Authority; and

3.3.2.                     the Consumer shall pay that sum not later than:

(a)                                  the date by  which the relevant Charges are required under the terms of this Agreement to be paid; or

(b)                                 the date falling five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Consumer of a valid VAT invoice in respect of that supply,

whichever is the later.

5

3.4.          If:

3.4.1.       the Consumer has paid any amount in respect of VAT pursuant to Clause 3.3.2 on the basis that the relevant transaction gave rise to a positive rated supply for VAT purposes, and it subsequently transpires that the transaction did not give rise to a positive rated supply; or

3.4.2.       the Consumer has paid any amount in respect of VAT pursuant to Clause 3.3.2, and it subsequently transpires that such amount was in excess of the amount of VAT actually chargeable on the relevant supply for which the party to whom that amount in respect of VAT was paid has the liability to account to the relevant Tax Authority,

the Supplier shall repay to the Consumer an amount equal to the difference between such amount in respect of VAT and the amount of VAT actually chargeable in respect of the relevant transaction or on the relevant supply, such repayment to be made within three Business Days after the Supplier first becomes aware of the relevant error.

3.5.          If one party (“Party A”) is required by the terms of this Agreement to reimburse another party (“Party B”) for any cost or expense, Party A shall reimburse Party B for the full amount of such cost or expense, including any part of it which represents VAT, except:

(a)           where this Agreement provides otherwise, or

(b)           to the extent that Party B is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of that VAT from the relevant Tax Authority.

3.6.          If the Consumer fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Agreement, to the extent that the amount is undisputed, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge the Consumer interest on the overdue amount from the date falling five (5) Business Days after the due date to the actual payment at a rate equal to 2% per annum above the base rate for the time being of Barclays Bank plc.  The interest shall accrue daily and be calculated on a 365-day year basis.

3.7.          The Supplier shall establish and maintain accurate books and records documenting the costs charged to the Consumer under this Agreement.  The Supplier shall provide the Consumer and its representatives with access, during normal working hours and subject to reasonable prior notice from the Consumer, to such books and records as is reasonably necessary to review the accuracy of the costs billed to the Consumer under this Agreement.

4.             LICENCES FROM COMPETENT AUTHORITIES

4.2.          The Supplier shall obtain and maintain, at its own cost, any approval required from any regulatory authorities for the provision of the Services, the Supplier shall obtain all necessary third party consents, and the Consumer shall provide the Supplier with all reasonable assistance required in this regard, provided that the Supplier shall be liable for any third party costs incurred by the Consumer in respect of such assistance, provided such costs shall not be incurred without the prior approval of the Supplier.

4.3.          The Supplier shall, at its own cost, secure any and all permits, licences and/or variations thereof, governmental or other regulatory authorities required to ensure compliance with all local laws, regulations and ordinances applicable to the provision of the Services to the Consumer.

5.2.          Subject to Clause 5.3, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify the other (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of any Losses directly incurred by the Indemnified Party in respect of destruction, loss of or damage to the Indemnified Party’s assets located at the Site and/or arising in respect of the Indemnifying Party’s breach of this Agreement, in each case, only to the extent that such Loss is caused by the negligence, recklessness, wilful misconduct, wilful default or fraud of the Indemnifying Party, its servants or agents and not otherwise.

5.3.          Without limiting the liability of either party for death or personal injury caused by negligence for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation nor where liability cannot be excluded or limited as a matter of law, each party’s Aggregate Liability to the other in respect of any Losses for which the first-mentioned party is liable under this Agreement shall in respect of all such Losses arising by reference or attributable to acts, event, omissions or defaults occurring during a calendar year be limited to a maximum amount equal to £100,000.

5.4.          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Supplier makes no representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to the Services delivered or purchased hereunder and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Supplier expressly disclaims any warranty as to the suitability of the Services for the Consumer’s requirements or any other purpose.  Any suggestions made or advice given by the Supplier concerning the Services and the use thereof reflect the Supplier’s opinion only and the Supplier makes no warranty in relation thereto.  The Consumer assumes all risk and responsibility in respect of any such suggestion or advice and the receipt, taking or use of the Services.
