Terms & Conditions

Time purchased through the COMPLY service may on occasions be required to be delivered on site or on a face to face basis, in which case travel time may be incurred. In these cases, our services are provided on a minimum half day (4 hour) basis or where time used is over 4 hours, a full day (8 hour) basis. We will in every case advise you of these charges in advance of incurring them. Where time used is over half a day but under a full day, travel time will also be agreed with you at 50% of our usual hourly rate. Where a full day is used, we will absorb the cost of the travel time.

Unused purchased consultancy time rolls forward each month and remains on the timesheet for the duration of the current subscription. At the end of the stated period, unused time will be notified to the client and held on the timesheet for client use for 3 further months (unless an extension to this is agreed in writing). After this period, any remaining unused time is moved to our Social Impact account where it is used for our pro bono client work, such work being determined annually by stakeholder feedback. A record is kept of time moved to the Social Impact account and time used from this account.
