5. Limitation of Liability

The Company maintains appropriate public liability and employer's liability insurance. Details are available upon request.

Subject to the provisions below, the Company's total aggregate liability under or in connection with the Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total Fees paid by the Client in the 12-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

The Company shall not be liable for:

  • Loss of profit, revenue, anticipated savings, or goodwill.
  • Indirect or consequential losses of any kind.
  • Losses arising from the Client's failure to meet its obligations under these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

6. Indemnification

The Client shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, employees, and agents against all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Enters into insolvency, administration, liquidation, or any analogous proceeding.

Upon termination, the Client shall pay all outstanding Fees for Services provided up to and including the date of termination, together with any reasonable costs incurred by the Company as a result of early termination.

8. Confidentiality

Each party shall keep confidential all information of a confidential nature obtained from the other party in connection with the Agreement and shall not disclose such information to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, except as required by law or regulation. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

9. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Agreement where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of that party ("Force Majeure Event").

Force Majeure Events include, but are not limited to: natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, government actions or sanctions, strikes or industrial action (not involving the affected party's own employees), fire, flood, or severe adverse weather conditions.

The affected party shall notify the other party promptly of the Force Majeure Event and use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate its effects. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than 60 days, either party may terminate the Agreement by giving 14 days' written notice.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
