			5.1        The Company shall be entitled from time to time, without prejudice to the other terms of this Agreement, to offer the Client a suitably qualified, skilled and experienced substitute Consultant or Supplier.

			6.2        No refund of the Conversion Fee shall be payable if the Engagement terminates unless such Engagement terminates within a period of 3 months from start of Engagement in which case 50% of Conversion Fee shall be refunded.

			7.3        The Client shall notify the Company promptly, and in any event within 24 hours or becoming aware, if a Supplier or Consultant fails to attend for the purposes of providing their Services under an Assignment or notifies the Client that the Supplier or Consultant is unable to attend for any reason.

			7.5        Any termination of this Agreement (howsoever occasioned and whether in whole or in part) shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies a party may be entitled to hereunder or at law and shall not affect any accrued (before termination) right or liabilities of either party nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.
		

		
			8.          Acknowledgements and Liability
		

		
			8.1        Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way constitute:
		

		
			(a)         the Supplier or the Consultant as the employee(s) or worker(s) of the Company or the Client; or
		

		
			(b)         (where there is no Supplier,) the Consultant as the employee of the Company or the employee of the Client,
		

		
			and the Company confirms that the Supplier, or (where there is no Supplier) the Consultant, is engaged under a contract for services (in respect of which, without limitation, the Client does not supervise and/or have the right to control the actions of the Supplier or the Consultant in the way that it would if an employment relationship existed).
		

		
			8.2        Where the Services are performed by a PSC Contractor, the Company and the Client acknowledge that the PSC Contractor offers their services on an independent business to business basis and accordingly neither the Client nor the Company supervises and/or has the right to control the actions of the PSC Contractor in the way that it would if an employment or worker relationship existed.  If the Client does, or intends to, supervise and direct any PSC Contractor, the Client shall immediately notify the Company of that fact.
		

		
			8.3        The parties acknowledge that the Company is not obliged to put the Supplier and/or the Consultant forward for consideration by the Client for the provision of services and the Supplier and/or the Consultant is not obliged to provide services to the Client beyond the termination of the relevant Assignment.
		

		
			8.4        The Client acknowledges that the Company is in the business of providing resourcing services which comprise the sourcing and introduction of suitable service suppliers to the Client and the contractual arrangements for the provision of their services to the Client.  Whilst every effort is made by the Company to ensure a reasonable standard of skill, integrity and reliability from the Supplier/Consultant and to provide the Supplier/Consultant in accordance with the Client's requirements, the Company cannot accept full responsibility for the quality of the Services provided by the Supplier and the Consultant or their activities while at the Location(s).  Accordingly, the Company's liability is limited as set out in this clause 8.
		

		
			8.5        The Client acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for supervising, monitoring or directing the Supplier(s) and/or Consultant(s) whilst working on Assignment and that accordingly, only the Client is in a position to assess and insure against risks in respect of or during or arising out of the period for which the Supplier and/or the Consultant is performing the Services.
		

		
			8.6        The charges made by the Company reflect only those Supplier/Consultant sourcing, selection and introduction services agreed to be supplied by the Company and do not indicate acceptance of any liability for the Supplier's or the Consultant's acts or omissions.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			7

		

		

			

		

		

		
			8.7        Subject to clause 8.9,  and as between Company and Client, Company shall not be liable for any Losses or delay arising from:
		

		
			(a)         any failure of the Supplier and/or Consultant to provide the Services for all or part of the term of this Agreement unless such failure results from an act or omission of the Company or breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Company;
		

		
			(b)         the negligent, wrongful, dishonest or fraudulent acts or omissions or misrepresentations of the Supplier or the Consultant, including, without limitation, any lack of skill of the Supplier/Consultant unless the Company has itself contributed to such acts, omissions or misrepresentations; or
		

		
			(c)         theft of any data or materials or the negligent driving of the Supplier and/or Consultant.
		

		
			For clarity, exclusion of liability under this clause 8.7 shall not prevent Client from enforcing any provisions of the agreement between Company and Supplier/Consultant directly against such Supplier and/or Consultant in accordance with the terms of the Agreement between Company and Supplier and/or Consultant.
		

		
			8.8        the Company shall not be liable for any Losses arising out of:
		

		
			(a)         any act or omission or misrepresentation (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) of the Supplier or the Consultant;
		

		
			(b)         any special, indirect or consequential damages or loss; or
		

		
			(c)         any loss of profit (other than direct loss arising from a breach of confidentiality), business, revenue, goodwill, anticipated savings, arising out of any failure by the Company to perform any obligations under this Agreement.
		

		
			8.9        Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to exclude or limit the Company's liability for:
		

		
			(a)         death or personal injury caused by the Company's negligence;
		

		
			(b)         its own fraudulent acts or omissions or its own acts or omissions which result in a breach of any term under this Agreement; or
		

		
			(c)         any other liability which cannot by law be excluded.
		

		
			8.10      The Client shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Company against any Losses incurred by the Company arising out of this Agreement and/or as a result of any breach of this Agreement by the Client. For clarity such obligation to indemnify shall not apply to the extent any Losses are caused by Company’s own acts or omissions in breach of any term of this Agreement or any fraudulent acts or omissions or negligent acts or omissions of Company.
		

		
			9.          Confidentiality and Intellectual Property
		

		
			9.1        The Company undertakes to the Client that it shall, and shall require that the Supplier and the Consultant shall:

			(b)         require that the Supplier and the Consultant shall enter into any and all assignments of intellectual property Rights (relating to work results or otherwise arising during the performance of the Services) or confidentiality undertakings that the Client may reasonably require it or them to enter into and hereby confirms that such work results and intellectual property rights are owned by and shall be owned by the Client; and
		

		
			(c)         shall procure that Supplier and Consultant shall not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of the Services.
		

		
			The obligations set out in this clause 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement indefinitely. This clause shall not override any confidentiality or other similar agreements

			10.1      Any information and data provided by the Company to the Client and used by the Client directly or indirectly in the performance of this Agreement shall remain at all times the property of the Company.

For clarity, any deliverables provided by the Supplier or Consultant in the performance of the Services shall be owned by the Client and Company shall not place any restriction on the use of such deliverables by the Client.
