1.4 If any employee of Soho or any of its subsidiary companies is engaged by the Client on a

will be liable to Soho for an introduction fee equivalent to the normal permanent fee in the event of
permanent employment.
1.5 Soho can accept no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, costs or expenses howsoever
caused which the Client may suffer or for which the Client may become liable arising out of or in
connection with or as a result of the introduction to the client or the engagement by the Client of a
candidate.
1.6 By asking Soho to introduce a candidate for permanent employment or by agreeing to engage or
make use of such a candidate in any position of employment or work the Client is deemed to have
accepted these terms of business. For the purposes of this clause the word introduce shall be

oral of a candidate for permanent employment.
1.7 By agreeing to engage or make use of a candidate introduced by Soho the Client will be liable for
the appropriate introduction fee.

1.9 If the Client, without notifying Soho, engages a candidate in any capacity within one year of the
candidate being introduced by Soho, or if the client or a member of the Client’s staff refers a person
introduced by Soho to some other person or body and that other person or body engages the
candidate in any capacity whether temporary, permanent or self-employed, the Client will be liable
for an introduction fee for permanent staff at the prevailing rate x 2 based on the total first year’s
remuneration quoted by the Client on the registration of the vacancy, without entitlement to rebate.
Interest at the annual rate of 5% above the base rate from time to time of the Company’s bankers
(both before and after judgment) and that such interest may be claimed by the Company from the
date of invoices until the date of payment.
1.10 In the event that the client is placed in administration, receivership or is declared insolvent all
fees owing to Soho will be classed as monies owed to employees for the purposes of the insolvency
act 1986.
