Consulting Terms and Conditions
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the provision of consulting services by Emtalent Digital Limited, a business registered in the United Kingdom ("Consultant", "we", "us", or "our") to the client ("Client", "you" or "your"). By engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2. Services
We will provide consulting services as agreed in writing between us and you. The details of the engagement—including scope, deliverables, fees, and timescales—will be defined in a separate Statement of Work (SOW).
3. Fees and Payment
Fees are outlined in the SOW or project agreement. Invoices are payable within 14 days of issue unless otherwise agreed. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue payments at the rate permitted by the UK Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
4. Client Responsibilities
You agree to provide all necessary access, information, and cooperation to allow us to carry out the services effectively. Delays caused by the Client may lead to additional charges or timeline extensions.
5. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential all non-public, proprietary, or sensitive information disclosed during the engagement. This obligation survives termination of the agreement.
6. Data Protection (GDPR and International Equivalents)
We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and, where applicable, relevant international data protection laws. If we process personal data on your behalf, we will do so only under your instructions and with appropriate technical and organisational safeguards in place.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claims arising under this agreement is limited to the total fees paid by you for the relevant services. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss.
9. Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for delays or failure to perform obligations due to events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, pandemics, war, cyber-attacks, or government restrictions.
10. Termination
The Client may terminate the engagement at any time with immediate effect by providing written notice. The Consultant may terminate the engagement by giving the Client at least 14 days’ written notice. Upon termination, the Client shall pay all outstanding fees for work completed up to the termination date.
11. Dispute Resolution
We aim to resolve disputes amicably. If a resolution cannot be reached informally, either party may refer the dispute to mediation before resorting to court proceedings. The mediation will be conducted in English under the rules of the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) or a similar body.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
