Terms and conditions
TERMS OF SERVICE
These Terms Of Service (“Terms”) are entered into between the Consultant and the Client (together the “Parties”) and are automatically incorporated into any engagement between the Parties.





1. DEFINITIONS

“Consultant” means Jamila Musayeva.
“Client” means the person or entity purchasing Services from the Consultant.
“Contract” is the agreement for the Consultant to provide Services to the Client.
“Materials” means anything the Consultant produces to provide the Services.
“Services” are the services (such as tutoring, mentoring and coaching) provided by the Consultant.



2. CONTRACT BETWEEN CONSULTANT AND CLIENT

A Contract is made when the Consultant accepts a request by the Client to perform Services. The Contract will set-out the details of the Services to be provided. These Terms will automatically be incorporated into the Contract.

The Consultant will carry-out the Services as a reasonably competent professional.

The Contract commences on the date of agreement between the Parties, and continues until the Services are delivered (in the reasonable judgment of the Consultant) or the Contract ends. The Client’s payment obligations shall end once payment of any invoices issued is made in full.

3. PAYMENT OF CONTRACT

The Client shall ordinarily pay the Consultant’s invoice (“Contractual Invoice”) in full before the Consultant provides any Services. All banking charges and fees shall be borne by the Client.

Until the Contractual Invoice is fully paid, the Consultant is not required to provide any Services.

Alternatively, the Consultant (at their discretion) may require a smaller payment of the Contract Amount prior to commencement of Services, and the balance to be invoiced later. In such cases the invoiced amount must be paid in full before the Services are provided. The Consultant may invoice the Client for the outstanding amount at any time, and deliver (or continue to deliver) Services provided that the invoices are paid in full.

The Consultant may request an additional payment in advance from the Client to cover any out-of-pocket expenses incurred or which will be incurred by the Consultant (such as, but not limited to, travel, accommodation, food and sustenance) (“Additional Invoice”). The Client shall pay any Additional Invoice(s) before Services are delivered. Failure to pay shall entitle the Consultant to suspend and/or terminate the Contract.

The Consultant shall return any unused amounts from the Additional Invoice(s) at the end of the Contract. Where possible the Consultant shall keep documentary evidence and/or proofs of payments for expenses incurred under the Additional Invoice(s).

The Consultant may set-off any payments made under the Additional Invoice(s) against outstanding amounts due from the Contractual Invoices. In the event of non-payment of the Contractual Invoice(s) and/or Additional Invoice(s), the Consultant may allocate any payments made to satisfy outstanding invoices and the Client shall pay any outstanding balance.

4. EXPENSES & EXTRA COST

The Consultant may issue an Additional Invoice(s) for costs and expenses likely to be incurred in performance of the Contract.

All costs and expenses incurred by the Consultant shall be reimbursed by the Client upon receipt of an Additional Invoice(s) during or following the conclusion of the Contract.



5. LATE PAYMENT, SUSPENSION OF SERVICES

The Consultant may suspend and/or terminate the Contract until the Contractual Invoice and any Additional Invoice(s) are paid in full. If the Consultant issues an Additional Invoice whilst providing Services, the Services may be suspended and/or the Contract terminated before payment in full is received.

Interest on any outstanding balances shall be payable by the Client. Interest will accrue at 4% compounding monthly from the date the invoice was due.

Any costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Consultant in recovering unpaid amounts shall be reimbursed by the Client.

Late payment of invoices by the Client is a material breach of Contract. Unless otherwise stated on the invoices, time is of the essence for payment.

6. TERMINATION

The Contract shall end upon the completion by the Consultant (in their reasonable judgment) of the Services. The Client shall be liable for any outstanding amounts until they are paid in full.

Either Party may terminate the Contract without cause by providing written notice to the other. Where the termination is more than 1 week before the delivery of the Services, the Consultant shall be entitled to retain 30% of any amount prepaid by the Client, together with any costs of expenses incurred. Where termination is less than 24 hours before the delivery of the Services, the Consultant shall retain 90% of any payments made, together with any costs and expenses incurred.

Either Party may terminate the Contract for a material breach by the other Party, provided that the defaulting Party has been advised in writing of the their breach and given reasonable time to remedy it.

9. POSTPONEMENT AND TERMINATION
Where the Services are postponed for reasons outside of the reasonable control by either Party (such as, but not limited to, war, strikes, lockouts, accidents, fire, visa and travel restrictions or any other cause outside of the direct control of a Party) (“Force Majeure”) the Parties shall seek to agree an alternative timeframe for providing the Services. Where this may require additional expense, the Consultant may issue an Additional Invoice to the Client.

The Client shall pay any external / third-party costs incurred in the event of suspension of Services (such as third party costs) - either directly to the third party or to the Consultant.

If the Parties cannot agree an alternative date for delivering the Services, the Parties may terminate the Contract by sending written notice to the other by email. Until such notification is received the Contract shall remain in force.

Upon termination the Client shall immediately pay all outstanding invoices to the Consultant. All rights, obligations and liabilities of the Parties (excluding the Client’s payment of invoices) shall thereafter be terminated.
