Terms & Conditions of Business These Terms & Conditions govern all business undertaken by JAM Management Consultancy Ltd (the “Company”). By interviewing or engaging with any candidate introduced by the Company, the client (the “Client”) is deemed to have accepted these Terms in full, whether or not expressly acknowledged in writing.

1.  Definitions “Candidate” means any individual introduced by the Company to the Client for engagement.

“Engagement” means any employment, contract or other engagement of a Candidate, whether directly or indirectly, by the Client or any third party as a result of an introduction.

“Introduction” means the presentation (oral or written) of a Candidate’s details by the Company to the Client.

2. Acceptance Interviewing or engaging a Candidate introduced by the Company constitutes acceptance of these Terms.

3. Fee Structure An introduction fee is payable upon engagement of a Candidate. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the Candidate’s total annual gross remuneration package, including base salary, bonuses, car allowances, and other benefits. If the Candidate is engaged on a contract shorter than 12 months, the annual salary shall be pro-rated to a full 12-month term.

4. Payment Terms All invoices must be paid in full within 14 calendar days of the invoice date. Failure to pay within this period will result in the Client forfeiting any entitlement to rebate or replacement, and may incur interest and legal fees.

5. Rebates & Replacements If the Candidate resigns within the first 12 weeks of employment, the Client is entitled to:

Week 1–4: 75% rebate or free replacement

Week 5–8: 50% rebate or free replacement

Week 9–12: 25% rebate or free replacement

To qualify:

• The Company must be notified in writing within 7 days of termination.
• The fee must have been paid in full and on time.
• The reason for leaving must not be due to redundancy, restructuring, or unreasonable treatment.
• No rebate is payable if the Client terminates the Candidate’s employment or breaches these Terms.

6. Candidate Ownership Once a Candidate has been introduced by the Company, the Company retains exclusive representation rights over that Candidate for 12 months from the date of introduction. The Client shall not engage, refer, or reintroduce the Candidate directly or indirectly without incurring the full applicable introduction fee.

7. Talent Pool Usage If the Client retains Candidate details or includes them in a talent pool or CRM system for potential future contact, this shall be treated as a continued interest resulting from the original introduction. If the Candidate is engaged within 12 months of the introduction, the full introduction fee shall be payable.

8. Liability The Company makes reasonable efforts to vet Candidates but does not warrant their suitability, qualifications, or capability. The Client is solely responsible for all due diligence. The Company accepts no liability for any loss, damage, or costs arising from the introduction, engagement, or performance of a Candidate.

9. Confidentiality All information regarding Candidates is confidential and provided solely for the purpose of considering them for a role. The Client shall not disclose any Candidate information to a third party.

10. Variation No amendment or variation of these Terms shall be valid unless confirmed in writing by a Director of the Company.

11. Governing Law These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

12. Non-Circumvention Clause The Client agrees not to circumvent or bypass the Company to engage Candidates or refer them to third parties. Any such circumvention will result in full fees and potential legal action.

13. Temp-to-Perm Conversion If a Candidate is initially engaged on a temporary or contract basis and subsequently offered permanent employment, the Client shall pay the permanent placement fee minus any fees already paid for temporary services.

14. Data Protection Both parties agree to comply with applicable data protection laws (e.g., GDPR) regarding the handling of Candidate data.

15. Exclusivity (optional) Where agreed in writing, the Client agrees to a period of exclusivity during which only JAM Management Consultancy shall supply Candidates for the specified role(s).
