Introduction fees will be charged whether or not the Client knew of the Candidate previously.

(ii) the Client or its subsidiary or associated company does not engage the Candidate within twelve months from the date of such termination; and

(i) the Client or anybody associated with it engages within 12 months of the last introduction date in any capacity, whether under a contract of service or a contract for services, any person who at the time of such engagement or who within 13 weeks immediately prior thereto was employed by fixedfeerecruiters.com or anybody associated with it: or

(i) any refund which may become due is void and full payment will be due by the Client; and
(ii) fixedfeerecruiters.com shall have the right to charge monthly interest at the rate of 3% of the total unpaid amount due. A further invoice for this amount will immediately be submitted to the Client which itself must be paid within 14 days of the invoice date.
