  12. warrants that the Freelancer’s last engagement immediately prior to entering this contract was not carrying out similar work as an employee of the person that is the End-Client in respect of the Freelancer’s first Assignment under this Agreement.
RP, Agency (where applicable) and End-Client Responsibilities
1. Neither RP, nor any Agency, nor the End-Client has responsibility for the Freelancer or any person engaged by the Freelancer on the Services, other than (a) as specifically provided for in this Agreement or under an Assignment Schedule, and (b) such responsibilities as are generally owed to the public at large.
2. The End-Client is responsible for:
  1. giving the Freelancer such cooperation, information and access as are reasonably necessary for the proper performance of the Services,
  2. informing the Freelancer if on any day the Services are not required, and
  3. ensuring that all relevant Health & Safety policies, risks, information and relevant statutory compliance measures are disclosed to the Freelancer.

  1. deduct its margin and any sums required by law to be deducted,
  2. raise a self-billing invoice on behalf of the Freelancer, and
  3. make payment by BACS to the Freelancer within 7 days of receipt, plus VAT as applicable, and
  4. remit any sums required by law to be deducted, as required.

3. The Freelancer is not entitled to payment other than for time actually worked, for any reason whatsoever.
Deductions
1. If any money becomes lawfully due from the Freelancer to RP (including money that may have been overpaid in error), RP may deduct all or part of such money from any payments due from RP.
2. If the Freelancer is in breach of contract RP may withhold the whole or part of any monies otherwise due in full or partial compensation for its losses resulting from the Freelancer’s breach, provided that RP may not withhold more than would be reasonable compensation for such breach.
3. If in breach of contract the Freelancer terminates an Assignment without giving the full period of contractually required notice, or if the Freelancer fail to pay the Agency or End-Client an amount the Agency or End-Client reasonably considers to be due to it, and (in either case) the Agency or End-Client indicates an intention to make a claim for loss it has suffered as a result of the breach, RP may withhold payment of an appropriate amount from any sums otherwise due.
4. If any equipment is issued to the Freelancer for the purposes of or in connection with an Assignment, the Freelancer must use it for no other purposes, take all proper care of it, and return it at the end of the Assignment in good serviceable condition, fair wear and tear only excepted. Failure to so return any such equipment would be a breach of contract, and pending such return RP may withhold payment of any sums otherwise due, provided that RP may not withhold more than the value of the equipment (if not returned) or the cost of repair (if returned damaged).
5. If a motor vehicle made available to the Freelancer by an Agency or End-Client suffers damage whilst is in the Freelancer’s charge, and if after investigation the Freelancer is found to be responsible for the damage, the Freelancer will be liable for the cost of repairing such damage, up to a maximum of the excess applicable under the applicable motor insurance policy.
  1. Pending conclusion of the investigation, RP may withhold payment of an appropriate amount from any sums otherwise due; and if the investigation concludes that the Freelancer was responsible for the damage, RP may retain the cost of repair, up to a maximum of such excess.
  2. RP may make deductions in respect of any Penalty Charge Notice or other road traffic fixed penalty for which the Freelancer has incurred liability.
Status
1. The relationship governed by this Agreement and an Assignment Schedule is neither that of agent-principal, nor that of employer-employee; no individual providing Services will be the employee of the End-Client, or of the Agency (where applicable), or of RP.
2. The Freelancer warrants and represents that:
  1. he is self-employed,
  2. he is in business on his own account, and enters this contract in the course of that business,
  3. the status of the End-Client and/or the Agency (where applicable) and/or RP is that of customers of the Freelancer’s own business,
  4. the manner in which the Freelancer provides the Services shall not be subject to (or to the right of) supervision, direction or control by any person,
  5. the Services are delivered by the Freelancer or any substitute as a self-employed worker, and
  6. he has the right to live and work in UK.
3. The Freelancer as a self-employed person will manage his own tax affairs and comply with all other applicable legal requirements, and will keep RP and the Agency (where applicable) and the End-Client indemnified:
  1. in respect of any legitimate claim or demand made by the proper authorities for all taxes, national insurance or social security contributions, in relation to payments made for the Services performed by the Freelancer or by any substitute on his behalf, and
  2. against any claims that may be made by any individual providing Services under employment-related legislation.
4. RP shall be entitled to set off and/or withhold any such sums to which it may be entitled under the above indemnity against any sum it may be liable to pay the Freelancer.
5. If RP has reasonable grounds to consider that the Freelancer is no longer self-employed and/or that the manner in which the Freelancer provides the Services is in fact subject to (or to the right of) supervision, direction or control by any person, RP may also (in addition to the items specified under clause 6.1) make provision for payment of Employers NIC from sums received in respect of Services performed by the Freelancer, and pay the balance after deduction of tax and NIC to the Freelancer as if it were employment income.
6. The Freelancer shall immediately notify RP of anything which might affect his self-employed status, including any changes to the arrangements under which he is supplying the Services.
7. Neither party wishes to create or imply any mutuality of obligation between themselves either in the course of or between any performance of the services or during any notice period. There is no obligation on RP or on any Agency or End-Client to offer any work beyond that specified in this Agreement to the Freelancer and no obligation on the Freelancer to accept any work that may be offered. For the avoidance of doubt there is no obligation on RP or on any Agency or End-Client to require Services on any day, and no obligation on RP or on any Agency or End-Client to make payment in respect of any day on which the Services are not required.
Intellectual Property Rights
1. All rights in the nature of intellectual property rights in any Work Product shall vest in and belong to the End-Client, and the Freelancer shall on request sign any required form of documentary assurance in respect thereof.
Confidentiality
1. The Freelancer will keep any information of a confidential nature disclosed by RP and/or the Agency (where applicable) and/or the End-Client secret, and on termination (or sooner if required) will at the option of the owner thereof return or destroy such information.
2. The Freelancer may not use or take advantage of any such information without the discloser’s consent, even after the end of an Assignment or termination of this Agreement.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing precludes the Freelancer from making a "protected disclosure" within the meaning of Part 4A (Protected Disclosures) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. This includes protected disclosures made about matters previously disclosed to another recipient.
Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 - Opting Out
1. RP does not provide work-finding services as defined under these regulations, nor does it operate as an employment business as defined under the Employment Agencies Act 1973. The parties acknowledge and agree that at no time will RP offer work-finding services to or be obliged to find work for the Freelancer.
2. The parties therefore envisage that, as between them, the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and any Assignment Schedule do not fall within the scope of such regulations.
3. In relation to an Agency, RP’s position in relation to these regulations will be that of a ‘work-seeker which is a company’, and the Freelancer’s will be that of the ‘person who is or would be supplied … to carry out the work’.
4. If RP contracts with an Agency (‘Employment business’) for the provision of the Freelancer’s services, RP and the Freelancer may agree to opt out of these regulations, unless the Freelancer will be working with children or other vulnerable people.
5. If the Freelancer notifies RP that (s)he wishes to opt out, RP will support the Freelancer’s decision, and will tell the Agency that RP and the Freelancer have jointly agreed to opt out.
6. The Freelancer may use the form in Annex B to tell RP of the Freelancer’s decision to opt out, or not to opt out, or of a change an earlier decision.
7. Until and unless the Freelancer expressly tells RP otherwise, by signing this contract, the Freelancer (a) confirms that the Freelancer wishes to Opt Out of the regulations where it is legally permissible to do so, and (b) authorises RP to notify the Agency on the Freelancer’s behalf that RP and the Freelancer have agreed to opt out.
8. The Assignment Schedule for the Freelancer’s current Assignment will show whether or not the Freelancer has elected to opt out of these regulations for that Assignment.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1. The parties acknowledge that various legal and regulatory requirements may affect their relationship, and that they may not have the option to elect how such provisions may impact on their relationship. However, in deciding whether or not to enter this Agreement, the parties have agreed and intend that their positions in respect of the following legal and regulatory requirements shall be as follows:
2. Agency Workers’ Regulations 2010
  1. The parties do not consider the Freelancer to be an ‘agency worker’, within the meaning of these regulations.
3. Working Time Regulations 1998
  1. The parties consider the Freelancer not to be a ‘worker’, for the purposes of these regulations, and there is no entitlement to paid leave.
4. National Minimum Wage Act 1998
  1. Whether or not such regulations apply, for the avoidance of doubt, RP will pay the Freelancer at a rate no less than the applicable National Minimum Wage / National Living Wage rate in respect of all time actually worked.
5. Pensions Act 2008
  1. The parties consider the Freelancer not to be a ‘worker’, for the purposes of this Act, and therefore that RP does not have obligations under Pensions Act 2008 to the Freelancer.
6. Employment Rights Act 1996, and other employment legislation
  1. The parties consider the Freelancer not to be an employee or a ‘worker’, and the Freelancer does not have the benefit of any statutory employment rights.
7. CIS
  1. The nature of the Services is that they are not ‘Construction Operations’ as defined in section 74 Finance Act 2004.
Termination
1. An Assignment may be terminated:
  1. by either party giving the other written notice of the Notice Period specified in the Assignment Schedule;
  2. by either party by Immediate Notice, if the other is in material breach of contract, or is in breach of contract and fails to remedy the breach within fourteen days of being required in writing to do so, or if the other becomes insolvent or ceases to carry on business, or if any preliminary step is taken towards the other’s liquidation winding up receivership or administration (other than for bona fide reconstruction or amalgamation);
  3. by RP by Immediate Notice, if the corresponding contract and/or Assignment Schedule with the Agency or End-Client (as the case may be) under which RP provides the Freelancer's services terminates (for whatever reason).
2. This Agreement may be terminated by either party by Immediate Notice at any time when there is no current Assignment.
3. Any provision which expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination shall remain in full force and effect.
Liability
1. The Freelancer is engaged to perform the Services as specified in the Assignment Schedule as an independent contractor, and neither the Freelancer nor any person engaged by it on the provision of Services is under the control of RP or the Agency (where applicable) or the End-Client; and therefore:
  1. the Freelancer accepts responsibility for any wrongful, negligent, or unlawful acts, defaults, or omissions of itself and of any such person in relation to an Assignment; and
  2. RP shall not be liable for the Services provided by the Freelancer, for working conditions or other arrangements at the Site / Work Location, or for any act, default, or omission of the Agency (where applicable) or the End-Client (or any of its personnel) in relation to the Services and/or the Site / Work Location.
2. RP shall not be liable for any loss of profit, business, revenue, goodwill, anticipated savings and/or any claims made under third party contracts, arising out of any failure by RP to perform any obligations under this Agreement or an Assignment Schedule.
3. Neither party excludes or limits liability for death, personal injury, fraud, repudiatory breach, or otherwise where it is not lawful to do so. Subject thereto, the total liability (a) of RP, and (b) of the Freelancer and any individual providing Services on its behalf, whether such liability may arise in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to £1,000,000.
4. Neither party enters this Agreement or an Assignment Schedule on the basis of or relying on any representation, warranty, or other provision except as expressly provided in writing, and all other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded so far as legally permitted. Liability or remedy for innocent or negligent (but not fraudulent) misrepresentation is excluded.
Complaints Procedure
1. As part of its ongoing commitment to providing excellent service, RP has a policy of dealing with all feedback, good or bad, and attempting to achieve a satisfactory resolution.
2. The Freelancer may at any time register a complaint:
  1. by phone to 01992 929170;
  2. by email to [email protected];
  3. in writing to the Managing Director, Rocket Paye Limited, Kings Court Business Centre, London Road, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, SG1 2NG.
3. All complaints:
  1. shall be recorded, investigated, acted upon as appropriate, recorded, and closed;
  2. may be escalated by the Freelancer if not resolved to the Freelancer’s satisfaction;
  3. shall be dealt with in accordance with the then current RP Complaints Policy and Procedure, which will be provided at any time on request.
Anti-Facilitation of Tax Evasion
1. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Freelancer shall:
  1. not engage in any activity, practice or conduct which would constitute either:
    1. a UK tax evasion facilitation offence under section 45(5) of the Criminal Finances Act 2017; or
    2. a foreign tax evasion facilitation offence under section 46(6) of the Criminal Finances Act 2017;
  2. have and shall maintain in place throughout the term of this agreement such policies and procedures as are reasonable:
    1. to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion by another person (including without limitation employees of the Freelancer); and
    2. to ensure compliance with clause 16.1.1;
  3. promptly report to RP any request or demand from a third party to facilitate the evasion of tax within the meaning of Part 3 of the Criminal Finances Act 2017, in connection with the performance of this agreement;
  4. at RP’s request, provide RP with a statement of such steps it has taken to ensure compliance with the Criminal Finances Act 2017, together with such other information as RP may reasonably require in order to undertake risk assessments to ensure that RP is not facilitating tax evasion pursuant to the Criminal Finances Act 2017.
2. The Freelancer shall ensure that any person associated with the Freelancer who is performing services and/or providing goods in connection with this Agreement does so only on the basis of a written contract which imposes on and secures from such person terms equivalent to those imposed on the Freelancer in this clause (Relevant Terms). The Freelancer shall be responsible for the observance and performance by such persons of the Relevant Terms, and shall be directly liable to RP for any breach by such persons of any of the Relevant Terms.
3. Breach of this clause shall be deemed a material breach.
4. For the purposes of this clause, the meaning of reasonable prevention procedure shall be determined in accordance with any guidance issued under section 47 of the Criminal Finances Act 2017 and a person associated with the Freelancer includes [but is not limited to] any Freelancer of the Freelancer.

  2. have and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement its own policies and procedures to ensure its compliance;
  3. not engage in any activity, practice or conduct that would constitute an offence under sections 1, 2 or 4, of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 if such activity, practice or conduct were carried out in the UK; and
  4. require that each of its direct subcontractors and suppliers shall comply with all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws, statutes, regulations, codes and policies from time to time in force including but not limited to the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Compliance with all other applicable laws
1. In addition to the specific requirements for compliance elsewhere in this Agreement, each party expressly agrees with the other that it will at all times:
  1. comply with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations and codes from time to time in force (‘Compliance’), and
  2. where the other party reasonably considers it might itself be exposed to liability as a result of non-compliance, promptly on request from time to time provide such evidence of Compliance as the other party may request; such evidence may include (but is not limited to) evidence of Compliance with reporting requirements, evidence of the calculation and making of PAYE and VAT returns and payments, and the provision of copies of payslips.
Electronic signatures
1. Notwithstanding that a contract constituted by this agreement and an Assignment Schedule may be formed pursuant to clause 3.5 without the Assignment Schedule being signed by either or both parties:
  1. This Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule may be signed by electronic signature (whatever the form the electronic signature takes), and that such method of signature shall be equally conclusive of the intention of each party to be bound by its terms and conditions as if signed with manuscript signatures.
  2. Without prejudice to clause 23.1, notwithstanding that it may have been signed by a form of electronic signature, no addition, amendment to, or modification or discharge of, this Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule shall be effective otherwise than in writing and signed by each party (in our case, by a Director on our behalf), and no additional or modified terms may be implied by any other actions of you or us.
Third Party Rights
1. Applies only where Services are provided via a RP Associate: The terms of RP’s contract with its Associate expressly provide for the Associate to have the benefit of the Freelancer’s commitments herein and (where appropriate) to take legal action directly against the Freelancer. Any agreement between RP and the Freelancer to rescind or vary this Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule in a way which affects the Associate’s rights is therefore conditional on the Associate’s consent.
2. Applies only where Services are provided via an Agency: The terms of RP’s (or, where applicable, its Associate’s) contract with the Agency expressly provide for the Agency (but not the End-Client) to have the benefit of the Freelancer’s commitments herein and (where appropriate) to take legal action directly against the Freelancer. Any agreement between RP and the Freelancer to rescind or vary this Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule in a way which affects the Agency’s rights is therefore conditional on the Agency’s consent.
3. Applies only where Services are not provided via an Agency: The terms of RP’s (or, where applicable, its Associate’s) contract with the End-Client expressly provide for the End-Client to have the benefit of the Freelancer’s commitments herein and (where appropriate) to take legal action directly against the Freelancer. Any agreement between RP and the Freelancer to rescind or vary this Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule in a way which affects the End-Client’s rights is therefore conditional on the End-Client’s consent.
4. Generally: Subject thereto, (a) these Terms and any Contract may be modified or discharged by agreement between the parties hereto and without any requirement for the consent of any third party; (b) no third party rights are intended to be conferred or created by these Terms or by any Contract; and (c) no one other than a party hereto shall have any right to enforce any of its terms.
General
1. Changes to this Agreement: RP reserves the right to make reasonable changes to any of the terms of this Agreement. Not less than one month's written notice of any significant changes may be given. Such changes will be deemed to be accepted unless the Freelancer notifies RP of any objection in writing before the expiry of the notice period.
2. Assignment: The Freelancer may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of RP. For the avoidance of doubt, substitution pursuant to clause 4.1.5 does not require the consent of RP.
3. Force majeure: If a party is obstructed in performing any of its obligations by an event outside its reasonable control, then performance to the extent obstructed is suspended for so long as the obstruction continues. Whilst performance has been suspended for more than 7 days, either party may terminate this Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule by Immediate Notice.
4. Waiver: Failure to enforce any of these terms or any provision of this Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule is not a waiver of a party’s rights and shall not prejudice its rights to take action in respect of the same or any later breach.
5. Severability: Any part of a term of this Agreement and/or an Assignment Schedule which is wholly or partially void, invalid, or unenforceable shall be severed from the remainder (which shall remain enforceable).
6. Notices: Any notice pursuant to this Agreement or an Assignment Schedule shall be given in writing (excluding email), provided that notices:
  1. from RP to the Freelancer may be given by email to the most recent email address provided to RP by the Freelancer, and shall be deemed received forthwith upon sending unless notice of rejection is received from the Freelancer’s email provider;
  2. from the Freelancer to RP may be given by electronic message via RP’s website when the Freelancer is logged in on the Freelancer’s portal, and shall be deemed received forthwith upon sending unless the Freelancer is notified of non-acceptance by the website;
  3. sent by post shall be deemed served 2 days after posting.
7. Entire Agreement: This Agreement and its Assignment Schedules together constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties relating to their subject matter. Any earlier agreement between the parties relating to the same subject matter is hereby superseded and is discharged by mutual consent. In case of conflict, the Assignment Schedule shall prevail. Save as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, no other terms or changes will apply unless in writing and signed by both parties.
8. Law: This Agreement, any Assignment Schedule, and any non-contractual disputes or claims between the parties are governed by the laws of England and Wales, whose courts shall (subject to the provision for adjudication) have sole jurisdiction in relation to all matters arising.
