Terms & Conditions of Business

These terms and conditions of business are between Amoria Bond Limited ("Amoria Bond"), an employment agency, and you the Client ("the Client"). The Client is defined as a company utilising the services of Amoria Bond.  The Consultant is the person introduced by Amoria Bond to the Client as a candidate for the Client's role.

2.

All business undertaken by Amoria Bond on behalf of the Client is subject to these terms and conditions unless specifically varied by written agreement between Amoria Bond and the Client.  A full contract will be drawn up between Amoria Bond and the Client once the Placement of a Consultant has been agreed.

3.

A Placement takes place once the Client offers a role, whether on a temporary, fixed term or permanent basis, to the Consultant and the Consultant accepts such a role.

4.

If a placement of a Consultant takes place within twelve months of the initial introduction or any subsequent reintroduction then such a placement will be subject to these terms and conditions.

5.

An introduction shall be deemed to have taken place when Amoria Bond provides to the Client any information which identifies a Consultant, whether or not the Consultant was known previously by the Client. To enable Amoria Bond to introduce suitable Consultants, the Client must provide Amoria Bond with all relevant information on its requirements including the anticipated start date, the role and the type of work required, the experience, training and qualifications necessary for the role, the anticipated charge rate, and any known risks to health and safety.

6.

Information relating to Consultants is strictly confidential. If the Client passes on details of a Consultant to a third party that results in a placement or appointment of that Consultant by the third party, the Client shall pay Amoria Bond a fee of 35% of the anticipated first year's remuneration of the Consultant.

7.

Should the Client either:

(i) solicit, or employ directly, or indirectly, the services of any employee or former employee of Amoria Bond who has at any time while employed by Amoria Bond been engaged on the Client's work; or

(ii) engage or utilise the services of any firm or company as a result of such an employee becoming a director, manager, agent or employee

for a period of 12 months from the date upon which this Agreement becomes effective or the latest date on which Amoria Bond successfully places a Consultant with the Client, whichever is the later date, then a fee of £10,000 shall be payable to Amoria Bond.

8.

Once a placement has been agreed, Amoria Bond shall produce a contract covering the specific terms agreed in respect of that placement and shall contain all appropriate and necessary details and data. A standard template version of this contract is available upon request for the Client's consideration.

9.

Fees for a Contract placement will be finalised once a suitable Consultant has been identified, but these will have been agreed in principle upon receiving the Client's instructions to source consultants for a particular role.

Should the Client, however, seek to engage, either directly or indirectly, with the Consultant other than through Amoria Bond, Amoria Bond’s introduction fee, which is 13 weeks of the anticipated charge out rate for the Consultant becomes payable by you.

The Client shall notify Amoria Bond immediately when an appointment is made and shall provide full details of the appointment. Should the Client fail to advise Amoria Bond of the appointment within 7 days of the start date, a fee becomes payable of 35% of the anticipated first year's remuneration of the Consultant.

10.

Amoria Bond shall insist that the Consultant(s) operate a fully compliant process in respect of taxation, social security and other appropriate legislation.

11.

Invoices shall be produced on a monthly basis and in accordance with approved timesheets.  Amoria Bond operates an online timesheet system, which is the preferred method of time approval; the Client's own system can be adopted if that is preferable to the Client.

12.

An invoice is payable within 30 days of its date of issue, after which the Client shall pay to Amoria Bond a compensation payment and statutory interest (calculated monthly) on the sum due in accordance with current EU legislation. If Amoria Bond incurs any legal costs as a result of non- or late payment of invoice, the Client will become liable to pay such costs.

13.

Amoria Bond does not personally test the Consultant's technical skills, and it is for the Client to satisfy itself as to the Consultant's overall capability when interviewing the Consultant and/or during the first week of the commencement of the assignment.  The Company will accept no responsibility for information relating to the Consultant which is outside its knowledge as the Consultant is not an employee of the Company.
