Terms and Conditions of Contract

By commissioning work from Lee Morton Consulting, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of contract outlined below:

 

1     All agreements are made solely between clients and LEE MORTON CONSULTING – “Lee Morton”. These terms and conditions form an integral part of any contract for the provision of consultancy, training or other services.  The use of the name “Lee Morton” will also refer to any consultants appointed by Lee Morton Consulting to implement this contract.

2     Both parties will enter into a contract based on a written proposal and these terms and conditions.  The proposal will cover the following:-

a) the objectives of the assignment;

b) scope of the assignment, including the methodology;

c) the responsibilities of the parties, including those to be undertaken by the client;

d) the stages of the assignment including, if applicable, provision for progress meetings;

e) the output of the assignment, e.g. report, recommendations etc.;

f) the estimated consultant time and the estimated cost based on stated fee rates and estimated expenses.

3          Professional time of Lee Morton will be billed on the basis agreed.  Should the scope of the work or the original estimates of time be changed, this should be confirmed by a supplementary exchange of letters/emails between the client and Lee Morton.

4          In addition, the client will reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses as detailed in the written proposal.

5          Invoices will be issued by Lee Morton at intervals agreed in the written proposal and electronic payment becomes due in fourteen days. Interest will accrue on late payments at 3% above LIBOR.

6          A client may terminate an assignment upon giving written notice to Lee Morton in which case the client is responsible for fees accrued and expenses incurred up to that point in time, plus the notice period detailed in the written proposal.

7          Lee Morton reserves the right to withdraw from an assignment if conditions develop which impair the successful completion of the assignment or lead to a conflict of interest or other problems of an ethical nature.  Lee Morton will not be responsible for any client costs thereby incurred.

8          Lee Morton shall treat any information about the affairs of the client gained in the course of an assignment as confidential and will not disclose such information without the express permission of the client unless it has already been disclosed.

9          Lee Morton shall not enter into an agreement with two or more clients with competing interests without first securing the clients’ agreement.

10       (a) Lee Morton provides advice to clients and acts in good faith.  Lee Morton shall not be liable in any way for performance or non-performance of services under this agreement, whether or not caused by negligence and whether in contract or tort or otherwise.

             (b)  No claims by the client in connection with the performance or non-performance of services under the Agreement shall be brought against Lee Morton or any of its directors, officers or employees.

11       Lee Morton assigns to the client the copyright and all intellectual property rights resulting from the work carried out for the client.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no rights are hereby transferred to the client or any third party in any copyright or other intellectual property rights owned by Lee Morton or its consultants prior to the commencement of the assignment.  For the avoidance of doubt, Lee Morton shall also be free to utilise in its ordinary course of business the intellectual property rights acquired during the work for the client.

12       Clients may not directly or indirectly approach any Lee Morton consultants to offer assignments or employment either during the contract period or for a period of twelve months after the contract has been completed.

13       If the client approaches the consultant with both parties’ written agreement and wishes to utilise the consultant on either a project or employment basis, then a fee of 15% of the annualised contract value or the annual salary will be paid to Lee Morton on the commencement of the assignment or employment.

14       Lee Morton, if required to be present at any legal proceedings due to its work on behalf of the client, will charge the client at the contract hourly rate plus expenses as specified in the agreement letter.

15       In the unlikely event of a contractual dispute, this contract is governed by English law and subject to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
