“Contract” means the contract between UKVISAS and the Client for the supply of Services in
accordance with these Terms.

Basis of contract

2.1 Any descriptive matter or advertising issued by UKVISAS, and any descriptions or illustrations
contained in UKVISAS’ brochures, promotional materials or on its website, are issued or
published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Services described in
them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.

2.2 These Terms apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Client seeks
to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of
dealing.

Supply of Services

3.1 UKVISAS shall supply the Services to the Client in accordance with these Terms in all material
respects.

3.2 UKVISAS shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates for the
Services, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for
performance of the Services.

3.3 UKVISAS warrants to the Client that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and
skill.

Fees and payment

4.1 Immediately upon instructing UKVISAS to make an application, the Client shall pay to
UKVISAS a sum equal to the full fees as notified to Client in respect of that application.

UKVISAS is under no obligation to commence or undertake any work in respect of that application until such sum has cleared funds have been received by UKVISAS.

4.2 The Client shall pay to UKVISAS any sum required by UKVISAS in respect of disbursements incurred or likely to be incurred in respect of the application immediately upon UKVISAS requesting such payment.

4.3 The Client shall pay the balance of UKVISAS’ fees due for any successful application within 7 days of the date of UKVISAS’ invoice. All other invoices rendered by UKVISAS from time to time shall be payable within 7 days of the date of UKVISAS invoice.

4.4 UKVISAS may charge additional fees for services which may be rendered, and which may not have been anticipated by UKVISAS and may be necessary to better perform UKVISAS’ contractual obligations to the Client. Such services include, but are not limited to, the obtaining of entry clearance, visas, extended or amended leave to remain, further advice for or relating to the principal beneficiary of any application hereunder or any relatives. Such additional fees will be agreed in advance wherever possible, but in the absence of such agreement to be determined by UKVISAS, in its sole discretion.

4.5 All amounts payable by the Client under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable from time to time (VAT), where this is deemed chargeable by law. Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by UKVISAS to the Client, the Client shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from UKVISAS, pay to UKVISAS such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services.

4.6 If the Client fails to make a payment due to UKVISAS under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting UKVISAS' other remedies, the Client shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.

Withdrawal of application and fees

5.1 The Client accepts that if it withdraws, or instructs UKVISAS to withdraw, or withdraws its instructions in respect of, any application after it has submitted it to the relevant governmental authorities, but before a final determination (which term shall mean and include a determination of any and all appeals that may arise from a refusal of an initial application) is made by such authority, UKVISAS fees will be payable as if that application had been successfully completed and approved by the relevant authority or authorities.

5.2 Subject to clause 11 which shall prevail, the Client accepts that if it withdraws UKVISAS instructions in respect of any application after UKVISAS has begun work, but before the application has been submitted to the relevant governmental authorities, fees will be payable to UKVISAS for work carried out prior to the withdrawal of instructions. The exact quantum of these fees shall be determined solely by UKVISAS, save that they shall not be more than 85% of the fees for a successful application.

Success warranty


6.1 Subject to clause 6.2, UKVISAS warrants to the Client that, except where UKVISAS expressly states to the contrary before or at the time of accepting the instruction, UKVISAS will process the application to obtain a sponsored worker visa, or, reimburse to the Client any fees and Home Office charges paid to UKVISAS in respect of that specific instruction in the event the application for the UK Visa is not successful.

(a) the Client or beneficiary of the application withdraws the application or instructions;

6.3 UKVISAS reserve the right to deduct from any sums due to Client under the warranty in clause 6 the costs of any disbursements incurred by UKVISAS in respect of the application for which UKVISAS has not been reimbursed.

7.1 The Client (and where applicable shall procure that the beneficiary of the application shall):

(a) promptly provide UKVISAS with any information, documentation or other material that UKVISAS may reasonably require in respect of the application;

(b) co-operate with UKVISAS in all matters relating to the Services;

(c) warrants that any information or documentation provided shall be true and accurate, and shall indemnify UKVISAS for any and all costs (including incidental and consequential costs) incurred by UKVISAS by reason of breach of this clause, such costs including but not being limited to fines, penalties, additional government fees, legal costs, costs of wasted work and transport costs;

(d) undertakes to comply with and obey any and all immigration, employment or other regulations, restrictions or codes of conduct pertaining to the application;

12.8 Governing law. The Contract, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

12.9 Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation.
