4.2 We may, on occasions, subcontract work on your affairs to other tax or accounting professionals. The subcontractors will be bound by our client confidentiality terms.

4.3 We reserve the right, for the purpose of promotional activity, training or for other business purpose, to mention that you are a client. As stated above we will not disclose any confidential information.

5.0 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
5.1 We will inform you if we become aware of any conflict of interest in our relationship with you or in our relationship with you and another client unless we are unable to do so because of our confidentiality obligations. We have safeguards that can be implemented to protect the interests of different clients if a conflict arises. Where conflicts are identified which cannot be managed in a way that protects your interests then we regret that we will be unable to provide further services.

5.2 If there is a conflict of interest that is capable of being addressed successfully by the adoption of suitable safeguards to protect your interests then we will adopt those safeguards. We reserve the right to provide services for other clients whose interests are not the same as yours or are adverse to yours subject of course to the obligations of confidentiality referred to above.

6.0 DATA PROTECTION
6.1 The Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) contain a number of requirements in relation to the processing of personal data.

7.0 DISENGAGEMENT
7.1 Should we resign or be requested to resign we will normally issue a disengagement letter to ensure that our respective responsibilities are clear. Should we have no contact with you for a period of one year or more we may issue to your last known address a disengagement letter and hence cease to act.
8.0 ELECTRONIC AND OTHER COMMUNICATION
8.1 Unless you instruct us otherwise we may, where appropriate, communicate with you and with third parties via email or by other electronic means. The recipient is responsible for virus checking emails and any attachments.

8.2 With electronic communication there is a risk of non-receipt, delayed receipt, inadvertent misdirection or interception by third parties. We use virus-scanning software to reduce the risk of viruses and similar damaging items being transmitted through emails or electronic storage devices. However electronic communication is not totally secure and we cannot be held responsible for damage or loss caused by viruses nor for communications which are corrupted or altered after despatch. Nor can we accept any liability for problems or accidental errors relating to this means of communication especially in relation to commercially sensitive material. These are risks you must bear in return for greater efficiency and lower costs. If you do not wish to accept these risks please let us know and we will communicate by paper mail, other than where electronic submission is mandatory.

8.3 Any communication by us with you sent through the post system is deemed to arrive at your postal address two working days after the day that the document was sent.

9.0 FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS
19.1 Our fees may depend not only upon the time spent on your affairs but also on the level of skill and responsibility and the importance and value of the advice that we provide, as well as the level of risk.

9.2 If we provide you with an estimate of our fees for any specific work, then the estimate will not be contractually binding unless we explicitly state that that will be the case.

9.3 Where requested we may indicate a fixed fee for the provision of specific services or an indicative range of fees for a particular assignment. It is not our practice to identify fixed fees for more than a year ahead as such fee quotes need to be reviewed in the light of events. If it becomes apparent to us, due to unforeseen circumstances, that a fee quote is inadequate, we reserve the right to notify you of a revised figure or range and to seek your agreement thereto.

9.4 In some cases, you may be entitled to assistance with your professional fees, particularly in relation to any investigation into your tax affairs by HMRC. Assistance may be provided through insurance policies you hold or via membership of a professional or trade body. Other than where such insurance was arranged through us you will need to advise us of any such insurance cover that you have. You will remain liable for our fees regardless of whether all or part are liable to be paid by your insurers.

9.5 We will bill upon completion of a piece of work for you, and our invoices are due for payment upon presentation. Our fees are exclusive of VAT which will be added where it is chargeable. Any disbursements we incur on your behalf and expenses incurred in the course of carrying out our work for you will be added to our invoices where appropriate.

9.6 Unless otherwise agreed to the contrary our fees do not include the costs of any third party, counsel or other professional fees.

9.7 It is our normal practice to ask clients to pay by monthly Standing Order and to periodically adjust the monthly payment by reference to actual billings.

9.8 We reserve the right to charge interest on late paid invoices at the rate of 5% above bank base rates under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. We also reserve the right to suspend our services or to cease to act for you on giving written notice if payment of any fees is unduly delayed. We intend to exercise these rights only where it is fair and reasonable to do so.

9.9 If you do not accept that an invoiced fee is fair and reasonable you must notify us within 21 days of receipt, failing which you will be deemed to have accepted that payment is due.

9.10 If a client company, trust or other entity is unable or unwilling to settle our fees we reserve the right to seek payment from the individual (or parent company) giving us instructions on behalf of the client and we shall be entitled to enforce any sums due against the Group Company or individual nominated to act for you.

10.0 IMPLEMENTATION
10.1 We will only assist with implementation of our advice if specifically instructed and agreed in writing.
11.0 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
11.1 We will retain all copyright in any document prepared by us during the course of carrying out the engagement save where the law specifically provides otherwise.
12.0 INTERPRETATION
12.1 If any provision of our engagement letter or terms of business is held to be void, then that provision will be deemed not to form part of this contract. In the event of any conflict between these terms of business and the engagement letter or appendices, the relevant provision in the engagement letter or schedules will take precedence.
13.0 INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN A CLIENT
13.1 If we become aware of a dispute between the parties who own or are in some way involved in the ownership and management of the business, it should be noted that our client is the business and we would not provide information or services to one party without the express knowledge and permission of all parties. Unless otherwise agreed by all parties we will continue to supply information to the normal place of business for the attention of the directors/proprietors. If conflicting advice, information or instructions are received from different directors/principals in the business we will refer the matter back to the board of directors/the partnership and take no further action until the board/partnership has agreed the action to be taken.
14.0 LIEN
14.1 Insofar as we are permitted to so by law or professional guidelines, we reserve the right to exercise a lien over all funds, documents and records in our possession relating to all engagements for you until all outstanding fees and disbursements are paid in full.
15.0 LIMITATION OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
15.1 The advice and information we provide to you as part of our service is for your sole use and not for any third party to whom you may communicate it unless we have expressly agreed in the engagement letter that a specified third party may rely on our work. We accept no responsibility to third parties, including any group company to whom the engagement letter is not addressed, for any advice, information or material produced as part of our work for you which you make available to them. A party to this agreement is the only person who has the right to enforce any of its terms and no rights or benefits are conferred on any third party under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
16.0 PERIOD OF ENGAGEMENT AND TERMINATION
16.1 Unless otherwise agreed in our engagement letter, our work will begin when we receive implicit or explicit acceptance of that letter. Except as stated in that letter we will not be responsible for periods before that date.

16.2 Each of us may terminate our agreement by giving not less than 21 days’ notice in writing to the other party except where you fail to cooperate with us or we have reason to believe that you have provided us or HMRC with misleading information, in which case we may terminate this agreement immediately. Termination will be without prejudice to any rights that may have accrued to either of us prior to termination.

16.3 In the event of termination of our contract, we will endeavour to agree with you the arrangements for the completion of work in progress at that time, unless we are required for legal or regulatory reasons to cease work immediately. In that event, we shall not be required to carry out further work and shall not be responsible or liable for any consequences arising from termination.

17.0 PROFESSIONAL RULES AND STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS
17.1 We will observe and act in accordance with the bye-laws and regulations and will accept instructions to act for you on this basis. In particular you give us the authority to correct errors made by HMRC where we become aware of them. We will not be liable for any loss, damage or cost arising from our compliance with statutory or regulatory obligations.
18.0 RELIANCE ON ADVICE
18.1 We will endeavour to record all advice on important matters in writing. Advice given orally is not intended to be relied upon unless confirmed in writing. Therefore, if we provide oral advice (for example during the course of a meeting or a telephone conversation) and you wish to be able to rely on that advice, you must ask for the advice to be confirmed by us in writing.
19.0 RETENTION OF PAPERS
19.1 You have a legal responsibility to retain documents and records relevant to your financial affairs. During the course of our work we may collect information from you and others relevant to your tax and financial affairs. We will return any original documents to you. Documents and records relevant to your tax affairs are required by law to be retained as follows:

• Individuals, trustees and partnerships:
• with trading or rental income: 5 years and 10 months after the end of the tax year;
• otherwise: 22 months after the end of the tax year;
• Companies, Limited liability Partnerships, and other corporate entities:
• 6 years from the end of the accounting period;

19.2 Whilst certain documents may legally belong to you, we may destroy correspondence and other papers that we store electronically or otherwise that are more than seven years old, except documents we think may be of continuing significance.

XERO TRAINING COURSES TERMS & CONDITIONS
These terms will apply to any contract between us for the purchase of our training courses (Class room & Online live, onsite) Please read these terms carefully and make sure that you understand them, before ordering any training courses or course materials from Ecloud Experts Ltd . Your agreement to these terms will be assumed when you submit your booking form or make an online payment.

We provide short, sharp training courses either on-site at client premises, online or classroom-based courses at our training centre in Surrey and West London. Our online courses are delivered in real-time via screen sharing software thereby enabling you to view the trainer’s screen and to ask questions as the course progresses. The online training is provided live either on a one-to-one basis or in small groups. Prices for onsite training may vary depending on client location.

Our online training courses have been developed specifically for those who are unable to attend in-person our popular trainer-led classroom-based training courses. Our online training courses mirror our intensive half day or one day trainer-led courses.

The training material provided during the trainer-led courses is intended for the use of the delegate only and should not be passed onto others. As all the training material is copyright, it should not be copied, modified or distributed or sold to third parties. Training material is also provided for our online courses for delegates to work through during the online training course or later in their own time.

We endeavour to update our course material regularly; however, as accountancy and payroll legislation changes frequently, the onus is therefore on the delegate to ensure that the information continues to be relevant, reliable, accurate and current. We cannot be held responsible for any loss resulting from taking action or refraining from taking action as a result of undertaking any of our courses.

Login instructions are provided to delegates who undertake our online training courses normally within 24 to 48 hours of the training course. The login details are solely for the use of the delegate and should be kept confidential. These should not be made available to others. Access to the online training courses will be denied with immediate effect where such abuse is discovered.

Access to our online training courses is via the internet and therefore a good internet connection and an up-to-date browser are a prerequisite. As technology advances at a rapid pace with an ever increasing variety of computers, tablets, smart phones, etc., we make no representations that access to our courses will be available on every single computer/device.

Delegates undertaking our online training courses are responsible for arranging their own computer/device, up-to-date internet browser, software required in order to access our courses remotely. Additionally, up-to-date anti-virus software should be installed due to the inherent risk of the internet.

It is the delegates’ responsibility to ensure that the courses purchased are suitable for their needs; our website provides detailed information on each of our online and trainer-led courses. We are also happy to provide any additional information that may be required in order for you to make an informed decision. Please contact us on info@ecloud-experts.com if we can assist further.
Links to HMRC and other websites are provided for information only and we do not accept responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of third-party sites. Your decision to access these sites is at your own risk.

CHANGING VENUE OR DATE
Places are subject to availability and Ecloud Experts Ltd reserves the right to cancel, withdraw, change or move training course to another venue or date. They shall notify the students of such changes within a reasonable time from the prospective date of the course. Ecloud Experts shall not be held liable for any loss off earnings or travel and accommodation expenses as a result of such changes. Ecloud Experts assures its delegates that while venues may change, the city or town of the event will not be changed unless under exceptional and unavoidable circumstances out with the control of Ecloud Experts Ltd.
YOUR CANCELLATION AND REFUND RIGHTS
We appreciate that in the uncertain times that we all currently live in; you may need to cancel or postpone a course that you have booked; all course cancellations within 14 days of the course date will be fully refunded.
