Candidate via video call or in person, and provided that the Agent considers the 
Candidate to be suitable, the Agent will seek to match the Candidate with a suitable 
Employer. Once an introduction is made, the Candidate must liaise directly with the 
Employer to finalise their employment arrangements, including their employment 
contract. The Employer is solely responsible for all aspects of the Candidate’s 
employment, including, without limitation, remuneration and employment conditions 
and compliance with the laws of the country including, but not limited to, employment

(3) months from their start date or within such other timeframe as agreed with the 
Employer, they are required to suggest suitable replacement Candidates to the 
Employer and the Agent, or to pay the Fee to the Agent to find a replacement Candidate. 
4.2 Should the Candidate leave their employment due to factors outside of their

fulfil their duties in the course of their employment with the Employer, including, but not 
limited to, being disqualified from driving for any reason the Candidate is required to pay

the Candidate, and shall be payable for each such subsequent re-employment.  The 
Returning Fee is payable before the Candidate begins its work for the Employer. 
5.3 The Agent reserves the right to change the Fee or the Returning Fee if any material 
change to the specifications of the Services is requested which requires the Agent to 
perform additional or varied work. This includes, but is not limited to, any change to the 
Candidate’s availability dates which the Candidate has submitted as part of their 
application and as confirmed at their interview with the Agent, and cancellation in 
clauses 6.1 and 6.2.

the initial screening process as described in clause 3.2.

to withhold payment of any invoice because part of that invoice is in dispute. 
5.6 In the event that the Agent is unable to match the Candidate with a suitable 
Employer within seven (7) months, the Agent will refund the Fee to the Candidate less 
an administration fee. 

6. Cancellation 
6.1 The Agent may cancel any contract to which these terms and conditions apply or 
cancel provision of the Services at any time before the Services are provided by giving 
written notice to the Candidate. On giving such notice the Agent shall repay to the 
Candidate any sums paid in respect of the Fee less an administration fee. The Agent 
shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from such cancellation. 
6.2 Service Fee: In the event that the Candidate cancels provision of the Services or any 
subsequent employment for an Employer to which a Returning Fee applies, the Agent 
shall not be required to repay the Fee or the Returning fee. If a refund of the placement 
fee is applicable under clause 5.5, an administrative fee will be deducted from the 
refund before processing. In the event that the Candidate cancels their application after 
a job has been secured for them, the administrative fee applies in addition to the Fee. 
This administrative fee is payable as per the issued invoice.

compound monthly at such a rate) after as well as before any judgment. 
7.2 Without prejudice to any other remedies the Agent may have, if at any time the 
Candidate is in breach of any obligation (including those relating to payment) under 
these terms and conditions the Agent may suspend or terminate the provision of 
Services to the Candidate and no refund will be given. The Agent will not be liable to the 
Candidate for any loss or damage the Candidate suffers because the Agent has 
exercised its rights under this clause.
