Fair use

Our fixed fee packages are priced to cover the typical service level a client needs. In any given year some clients will need more support or service, others less, and our fees balance this.

However occasionally a clients service needs, or the complexity of their requirements, will go beyond that anticipated. Rather than have a long list of exceptions or small print, we operate on a fair use basis. Where services cannot be accommodated in the fixed fee:

  • We will endeavour to let clients know at the start of the engagement, or if not as early as possible
  • We will avoid unreasonable suspension or withdraw of services at short notice.
  • We will avoid incurring any material additional charges for clients without authorisation.
  • We will work collaboratively with clients to resolve the issue, either by repricing, a service restriction, or by agreeing changes to record keeping and presentation.

Under our Terms of Business, either party can cancel the contract between us with no notice.
