Terms of Business

Summary
We’ll do what we can to fulfil your needs and meet your expectations, but it’s important to have things written down so that we both know what’s what, who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong. In this contract you won’t find any complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. We’ve no desire to trick you into signing something that you might later regret. What we do want is what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.

So in short;

You (as defined in the name fields in the application form above) (“You”) are hiring us (Active Presence Limited) (“We or Us”) to:
Deliver the Early Support Program (ESP) version of our Present Right Now advanced presentation skills training program.
For the estimated total price of £970.00 per participant (excluding VAT) as outlined in this proposal.
The Agreement will last from you being accepted onto Present Right Now and agreeing to this proposal until 120 days from us supplying you with your registration details for Present Right Now.     
Of course it’s a little more complicated, so here's the next level of detail.

 What we're agreeing to

You: You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company or your organisation. You’ll give us the assets and information we tell you we need to complete the project. You’ll do this when we ask and provide it in the formats we ask for. You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out in this proposal.

Us: We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll endeavour to meet every deadline that’s set and on top of that we'll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.

Relationship
During the term of this Agreement, we will provide training services to you as described in this document hereto (the “Services”).   

Fees and Payment Schedule
As consideration for the Services to be provided by us, you agree to  pay the amounts specified in "Investment required" hereto.

Your registration details will be released when the fees due have been paid in full. 
We issue invoices electronically. All proposals are quoted in GB Pounds Sterling and payments will be made at the equivalent conversion rate at the date the transfer is made.
You agree to pay all charges associated with international transfers of funds. The appropriate bank account details will be printed on our electronic invoice.

Term and Termination
Should either party default in the performance of this Agreement or materially breach any of its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to our obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement between us, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement immediately.

Independent Contractor
Our relationship with you will be that of an independent supplier and not that of an employee.

Method of Provision of Services
We will be solely responsible for determining the method, details and means of performing the Services.

Conflicts with this Agreement
We represent and warrant that we are not under any pre-existing obligation in conflict or in any way inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. We will not knowingly infringe upon any copyright, patent, trade secret or other property right of any former client, employer or third party in the performance of the Services.

Miscellaneous

1 Amendments and Waivers.  Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with our written consent.

2 Sole Agreement.  This Agreement, constitutes the sole agreement of the parties and supersedes all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

3 Notices.  Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon delivery, when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by email.

4 Choice of Law.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of England, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

5 Severability.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith.  In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

We’ll carry out our work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience.

That said, we can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them.

Your liability to us will also be limited to the amount of fees payable under this contract and you won’t be liable to us or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if we’ve advised you of them. 

Intellectual property rights

Just to be clear, “Intellectual property rights” means all patents, rights to inventions, copyright (including rights in software) and related rights, trademarks, service marks, get up and trade names, internet domain names, rights to goodwill or to sue for passing off, rights in designs, database rights, rights in confidential information (including know-how) and any other intellectual property rights, in each case whether registered or unregistered and including all applications (or rights to apply) for, and renewals or extensions of, such rights and all similar or equivalent rights or forms of protection which subsist or shall subsist now or in the future in any part of the world.

First, you guarantee that all elements of text, images or other artwork you provide are either owned by you, or that you have permission to use them. When you provide text, images or other artwork to us, you agree to protect us from any claim by a third party that we’re using their intellectual property.

We guarantee that all elements of the work we deliver to you are either owned by us or we’ve obtained permission to provide them to you. 

We’ll own any intellectual property rights we’ve developed prior to, or developed separately from this project and not paid for by you.   

But where’s all the horrible small print?

Just like a parking ticket, neither of us can transfer this contract to anyone else without the other’s permission.

We both agree that we’ll adhere to all relevant laws and regulations in relation to our activities under this contract and not cause the other to breach any relevant laws or regulations.

This contract stays in place and need not be renewed. If for some reason one part of this contract becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of it remain in place.

Although the language is simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of English courts.
