Standard
conditions of business
1. Scope
These Standard
Terms apply to the supply of all products
and services by Electronic Financial
Services Limited, unless we otherwise agree
in writing.
2. Agency
We accept orders
and instructions only on the basis that
those instructing us do so as principals and
are liable directly to us for payment of our
account.
3. Use of
third party contractors
We may, as your
agent, directly or through an intermediary
ask another contractor ("Third Party
Contractor") to carry out some or all of any
work which you instruct us to carry out for
you. We shall pay the charges of Third Party
Contractors on your behalf and recharge them
to you with our own fees. We will take all
reasonable care in selecting and instructing
a Third Party Contractor. However, we have
no control over the activities of a Third
Party Contractor and therefore accept no
responsibility for the services provided to
you by that Third Party Contractor or for
any errors or omissions in its work or
products.
4.
Adequacy of instructions
We provide
services only on the basis that those
instructing us give us all proper, necessary
and timely instructions, authority and
information (including the execution of all
documents required) to enable us to
undertake lawfully and effectively the
business instructed, and that those
instructing us indemnify us accordingly.
5. Third
party reliance
Our services are
provided solely for the use of our client
and that client's own client on whose behalf
the work has been commissioned and shall not
be used or relied upon by any other third
party.

Delivery of products and services
Orders
are delivered using express airmail unless
otherwise stated. Where you request an
alternative method of delivery, you must
meet those costs. Services are provided
using reasonable skill and care.
7.
Payment
We may require
cash payment in advance before providing any
services. Where we have agreed credit terms
for you our invoices are due for payment 20
days from their date. We reserve the right
to charge for costs and expenses incurred in
recovering late payments, and to charge
interest at the rate then in force pursuant
to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts
(Interest) Act 1998 as at the due date.
8.
Non completion of services
Where you
instruct us to undertake any service, you
will be responsible for our costs in
providing that service whether or not it
proceeds to its conclusion.
9.
Right to cancel
If you cancel an order which you have placed
with us you will
be responsible for our costs in processing
the order and our liability to any Third
Party Contractor in respect of the order. We
will waive these charges if you place a
replacement order of equivalent or greater
value within 60 days of cancellation..
10.
Data protection
We
will use personal information which we hold
about you to provide our services and
products to you, for credit control and
market research purposes and to inform you
about our services and products which we
believe may be of interest to you. We do not
share information with unrelated third
parties.
In order to
provide services to you we may be required
to pass your personal information to parties
located outside of the European Economic
Area in countries which do not have data
protection laws equivalent to those in the
UK. Where this is the case we will take
reasonable steps to ensure the privacy of
your information.

do not wish to receive information from
us please write to our head office at 10
Coptic Street, London, WC1A 1NH marking
the envelope 'Data Protection'.

a small fee, to a copy of any personal data
(as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998)
which we hold about you.

circumstances we are required by law to
collect evidence of identity from our
clients. If you fail to supply any due
diligence which we request we will be unable
to provide services to you.
12.

If you are
unhappy with any aspect of our service,
please contact us in writing. Any complaints
will be dealt with sympathetically and we
will work with you to reach a satisfactory
conclusion.
13.
Changes to conditions of business
We reserve the
right to make changes to these conditions
from time to time.
