3.1 Until the Service Charge for each accounting period has been calculated, the Tenant must pay, by equal quarterly payments on the Rent Days, a provisional sum by way of Service Charge at the level that the Landlord requires.
3.2 The Tenant must also pay on demand any sum or sums that the Landlord requires where the Landlord will be obliged to incur any Service Costs and the sums held on account by the Landlord are insufficient to meet those costs.
3.3 The Landlord may, at the Landlord’s option, either recover the costs of providing heating and cooling to the Premises from the Tenant in accordance with clause 4.2 or as part of the Service Charge in accordance with this paragraph 3 of Part 1 of this Schedule.
4. Balancing payments of service charge
4.1 When the Service Charge for each accounting period has been calculated:
4.1.1 the Tenant must pay any amount due from it on demand; and
4.1.2 the Landlord must credit any amount due to the Tenant against the next payment or payments to be made by the Tenant under paragraph 3 of Part 1 of this Schedule. Any amount owing at the End Date must be repaid to the Tenant within one month of its calculation.
4.2 The End Date will not affect the Tenant’s obligation to pay or the Landlord’s right to recover Service Charge after the End Date where this has not been calculated and demanded before the End Date.

5. Service charge disputes
If any dispute arises in connection with the Service Charge, the Landlord and the Tenant must attempt to resolve it by appropriate alternative means before resorting to court proceedings. The Service Charge Statement will (except for obvious error) become binding on the parties four months after it is delivered to the Tenant or (if later) once any dispute relating to it and arising during that period has been settled or decided.
6. Variation in the proportion of the service charge payable
6.1 In calculating the Service Charge for any of the Services, the Landlord’s surveyor may make any adjustment that is fair and reasonable in all the circumstances, having regard to the relative degree of benefit obtained by the Tenant and other tenants at the Building from those Services, including by dividing the services and charges set out in Part 3 of this Schedule into separate categories and applying weighting to those categories to take into account differing uses or operating hours.
6.2 If there is any change in the extent of the Building or the Podium, the Landlord must, where it is appropriate to do so, vary the Service Charge as is reasonable to take account of that change but the Service Charge will not materially increase solely as a result of any change in the extent of the Building.
6.3 The Service Charge must not be increased by reason only that any Lettable Units:
6.3.1 remain unlet;
6.3.2 are let on terms that do not require the tenant or other occupier to pay a service charge; or
6.3.3 are let on terms that cap the liability of any tenant or other occupier for service charge.
7. Landlord’s contribution to service charge
7.1 The Landlord is to contribute to the Service Charge any shortfall in the Service Charge arising from any Lettable Units:
7.1.1 being unlet;
7.1.2 are let on terms that do not require the tenant or other occupier to pay a service charge; or
7.1.3 are let on terms that cap the liability of any tenant or other occupier for service charge where the level of the service charge attributed to the relevant area exceeds the cap.
