Receiving a Candidate’s CV, Interviewing or Engaging a Candidate, or a Candidate commencing work for or providing services to the Client or to any Third Party as envisaged under Clause 4.1 (whichever first occurs) shall be deemed acceptance of and agreement to these Terms by the Client.

of any offer of an Engagement which the Client makes to a Candidate; and
upon an offer of Engagement being accepted by a Candidate or otherwise upon the commencement of an Engagement (whichever first occurs) and the Client shall provide TLP with details of the Annual Remuneration.
Notwithstanding Clause 6.2, the Client:
shall satisfy itself as to the suitability of any Candidate for the purposes of the vacancy for which a Candidate has been Introduced;
has sole responsibility for selecting a Candidate for Engagement;
should, TLP recommends, make all offers of Engagement subject to receiving satisfactory references, which the Client should take up directly, and verify to its own satisfaction all statements made by or on behalf of a Candidate, in particular ensuring that any legal, professional body or other requirements relating to (without limitation) training, qualifications, authorisations, professional certification, medical requirements and immigration status, are satisfied.
Introductions of Candidates and any CV supplied by TLP to the Client are confidential and should not be disclosed to any other person without the prior written consent of TLP. The Client may only use any CV supplied for the purposes of selecting a Candidate for Interview and deciding whether to Engage a Candidate. If the Client decides not to Engage a Candidate, the Client hereby undertakes to return all copies of the Candidate’s CV to TLP and to remove, delete or destroy all records it may have which include details of or from the CV.

FEES
If the Client:
Engages a Candidate; or
Introduces a Candidate to another person, including (without limitation) any subsidiary, associated or holding company of the Client, (a “Third Party”) resulting in an Engagement by that Third Party
at any time within 12 Months from the later of:
the Introduction of a Candidate to the Client by TLP; or
the date of a Candidate’s last Interview with the Client,
the Client shall pay TLP a Recruitment Fee pursuant to Clause 4.2 of these Terms. No Recruitment Fees will be charged unless the Client or a Third Party Engages a Candidate. All amounts payable under these Terms are exclusive of value added tax which shall be payable by the Client at the prevailing rate where applicable.
The Recruitment Fee per Engagement is based upon a Candidate’s Annual Remuneration in accordance with the following scale:
Annual Remuneration up to: Recruitment Fee (as a percentage of Annual Remuneration)
£29,999 17.5%
£49,999 20%
£50,000 and over 22.5%
All dedicated search and overseas assignments are charged at 35% of Annual Remuneration.
All monies due under this Clause 4 shall become due and payable in full by the Client within 30 days of the date of invoice issued by TLP.
TLP reserves the right to charge the Client interest on any amount outstanding after the period for payment set out in Clause 4.3 (both before and after any judgment) at the rate of 4% per annum above the base rate of National Westminster Bank plc from time to time in force from the due date until the date of payment, and any such interest shall be payable on demand.

REPLACEMENT AND REBATE GUARANTEE
If a Candidate is dismissed or leaves within twelve Weeks of commencing the Engagement and provided that:
all monies due under these Terms have been paid in full by the Client in accordance with Clause 4;
such termination is not as a result of redundancy, pregnancy, injury or ill-health or by reason of a Candidate’s race, sex, sexual orientation, religion or belief, any disability or age;
such termination has not arisen as a result of the Client entering into the Engagement with the prior or likely intention of disposing with a Candidate’s services or terminating the Engagement either without proper cause or with a view to obtaining a Rebate unfairly;
the Client serves notice on TLP in writing at its registered office of the termination of the Engagement within 5 Business Days of such termination; and
neither the Client nor any Third Party shall commence Engagement of the Candidate within 12 Months from the date of the termination of the Engagement,
then TLP will use its reasonable endeavours to find a replacement at no extra cost to the Client.
If pursuant to Clause 5.1 TLP is unable to find a replacement within a reasonable time then TLP will pay the Client a Rebate calculated as follows:
where the Engagement terminates:
within two Weeks of the date of commencement of the Engagement, 50% of the Recruitment Fee paid by the Client;
between two Weeks and four Weeks of the date of commencement of the Engagement, 25% of the Recruitment Fee paid by the Client;
between four Weeks and twelve Weeks of the date of commencement of the Engagement, 10% of the Recruitment Fee paid by the Client.
No Rebate shall be made in respect of an Engagement where a Candidate was previously Engaged in any capacity by the Client through TLP.
The Client shall repay the amount of any Rebate in full to TLP where the Client (or any Third Party) subsequently re-Engages (or Engages) a Candidate in any capacity within 12 Months of the date of termination of the Engagement and a full Recruitment Fee shall be payable with no entitlement to a refund or Rebate.

TLP will use its reasonable endeavours to Introduce to the Client a suitable Candidate to fill the position which the Client seeks to fill based on the information provided by the Client to TLP on the position, including the type of work a Candidate in that position would be required to do.

THE CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS
The Client warrants and confirms that prior to Introduction it has given to TLP sufficient information in order for TLP to select a suitable Candidate(s) for the position the Client seeks to fill, including but not limited to:
the identity of the Client and, if applicable, the nature of the Client’s business;
the date on which the Client requires a Candidate to commence work and the duration, or likely duration, of the work;
the position which the Client seeks to fill, including, but not limited to, the type of work a Candidate in that position would be required to do, the location at which and the hours during which the Candidate would be required to work, any risks to health or safety known to the Client and the steps the Client has taken to prevent or control such risks;

any act or omission of any Candidate, whether wilful, negligent, fraudulent, dishonest, reckless or otherwise;

The Client acknowledges that in entering into these Terms, it has not relied on any representations, warranties or other assurances by TLP other than those expressly set out in these Terms, provided that nothing in this Clause 8.2 shall operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation between TLP and the Client.
