Terms & Conditions

1. Intent
   1. It is the intention of Jantzen Consulting Ltd trading as TheNub (“we”, “us” or “our”) to engage with you, the customer, (“you”) and set clear objectives with a solution that we both agree is likely to yield the best results.  As part of the planning process we will list key conditions that both parties need to adhere to for the intent of this agreement to be achieved.  Below are our further terms and conditions under which we provide our services (“Services”).
2. Application
   1. These terms and conditions (“agreement”) shall govern and be incorporated into each Fee Advice or contract for Services by us and shall be deemed accepted upon the earlier of executing and returning the Fee Advice to us or receiving any part of the Services.  No other terms or conditions shall apply unless expressly agreed to in writing by us.
3. Services
   1. The scope of Services that we agree to provide you and our remuneration (“Fee”) for those Services are set out in our Fee Advice.
   2. The Services supplied under this agreement shall be supplied for the period specified in the Fee Advice, unless this agreement is terminated in accordance with clause 9.
   3. Should the client be successful in gaining external recognition (such as an award) for the growth delivered with Jantzen Consulting then following authorisation by the client Jantzen Consulting will have the right to use such recognition within their marketing material.
   4. No change to the Services shall be valid until agreed to by us, however from time to time and without notice, we may change the Services in order to comply with any applicable safety or statutory requirements, provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature, scope of, or the Fee for the Services.

   3. You shall reimburse to us all out of pocket expenses and disbursements incurred by us in connection with the delivery of the Services, at cost (or at agreed rates of travel) and without mark up.  We may submit interim invoices in respect of out of pocket expenses and disbursements supported by appropriate proof of expense. International travel will be charged at 50% of the agreed day rate for each leg of the journey.
   4. Unless agreed otherwise, we will invoice you on a monthly basis and invoices are to be paid in full within 30 days of the invoice date.  We reserve the right to suspend work if payment is not paid by the date required and charge a reasonable interest on overdue monies.

      Less than 48 hours – 50%
      Less than 24 hours – 100%
   6. Postponement within 48 hours of the planned service delivery will be treated as a cancellation and charged in line with clause 4.5. Any postponement more than 48 hours in advance will be treated as a cancellation, and be charged in line with clause 4.5, unless scheduled delivery service can be rescheduled on an agreed date within 60 days.
