Terms and Conditions

Any engagement with Enrite will include terms specific to that engagement in addition to the standard terms found on this website.

1. Relationships

  1. The relationship of Enrite (and all Consultants) to the Client will be that of independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement shall render it (nor any Consultant) an employee, worker, agent or partner of the Client and Enrite shall not hold itself out as such and shall procure that all Consultants shall not hold themselves out as such.
  2. This Agreement constitutes a contract for the provision of services and not a contract of employment and accordingly Enrite shall be fully responsible for and shall indemnify the Client for and in respect of any liability arising from any income tax, national insurance and social security contributions and any other liability, deduction, contribution, assessment or claim arising from or made in connection with either the performance of the Services (as defined in ‘The Services’ above) or any payment or benefit received by a Consultant in respect of the Services, where such recovery is not prohibited by law; and for any employment-related claim or any claim based on worker status (including reasonable costs and expenses) brought by a Consultant against the Client arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services.

If either Party receives a subpoena or other validly issued administrative or judicial process demanding Confidential Information of the other Party, it shall promptly notify the other of such receipt and tender to it the defence of such demand.  The Party receiving the subpoena shall thereafter be entitled to comply with such subpoena or other process to the extent required by law.

The maximum remedy available to Client and the maximum liability of Enrite for all damages, costs and expenses is limited to the amount the Client has paid or is payable for the Client’s use of the Services in the 12 months period prior to the event giving rise to the liability.
