These terms and conditions are made between Blitz Recruitment herein after called "The Company" (which expression shall include all of its associated companies, subsidiaries and business names) and the prospective employer (The Client). The Client is further defined as any person or organisation that engages the services of The Company. The interviewing or appointment of a candidate introduced by The Company shall be deemed to be an acceptance of these terms and conditions. These terms supersede any previous terms and conditions and apply from 24rd of May 2006 until further notice. No change whatsoever to these terms will be deemed acceptable unless expressly authorised in writing and signed by a director of the company.

2. The term "introduction" means the presentation of a candidate. Engagement (or appointment) means the offer and acceptance of a position whether oral or written under a contract of services, temporary or permanent. An introduction is not exclusive to a specific job. In the event that an offer which has been accepted by the candidate is withdrawn by The Client, prior to the commencement of work The Client agrees to pay full fees as set out in Section 5 hereunder.

3. Candidate details are sent on the express understanding that they are to be treated in the strictest confidence by The Client. The Client undertakes not to give details to a third party or make any contact with the candidate without the prior written permission of The Company.

In the event of employment being terminated by either party for any reason other than redundancy within 1 week of the commencement date of employment, The Company will endeavour to provide a replacement candidate for that position at no additional cost or offer a 100% refund of the agreed fee. This guarantee period does not apply to temporary or contract engagements or appointments. This guarantee applies to all permanent placements, but only where payment terms have been met in full and where the dismissal is justified or if the candidate has left of his/her own volition. The Client accepts that any offer of a replacement candidate is expressly limited to the position vacated by the candidate and that this offer is not transferable to any other position the The Client may be seeking candidates for. This guarantee cannot be offset in any way against fees due to The Company for any other work completed by The Company for The Client. The Client also accepts that The Company will not commence the search to find a replacement candidate while a fee or any part of a fee for that placement is unpaid.
