Fees
Fees will be charged for delivery of service as set out in the proposal document or purchase order.
All bought in services such as photography, specialist surveys, technical monitoring and couriers will be subject to an administration and handling fee of 15%.
Consultation reports and policies are dependent upon receipt of specific information regarding the client’s organisation and operation. While reasonable efforts will be made to give notice of any required information, unreasonable delays in returning that information might result in fees being charged for the delay or another client’s work being given priority.

Reasonable expenses incurred in completing the contract, e.g. travel, will be charged to the Client at cost.

We reserve the right to charge interest on any overdue account, which will be charged at the published rates as set out in the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998, amended 2002. We may terminate our engagement and cease acting if payment of any fees billed is unduly delayed. However, it is not our intention to use these arrangements in a way that is unfair or unreasonable.

Unless explicitly agreed as part of a contract, copyright will remain with material originators. This is relevant to all written material, but will also apply to any commissioned photography or technical reports. Clients should take care to ensure that they have considered the future use of any items and negotiated a clear agreement on copyright ownership.
Confidentiality and conflicts of interest
If a potential conflict of interest or confidentiality issue arises existing clients will always be consulted about their preferred course of action.
All information given in confidence will continue to be treated in confidence so long as it remains out of the public domain, and will only be used to provide services for the Client.
Termination
If either party wishes to terminate an agreement before the completion of the project 30 days’ written notice must be given.
Clients will be liable for projected fees in that period (calculated on a pro-rata basis), while any work planned for that period will also be completed.
