Terms and Conditions:
CONDITIONS
 
1. These Terms and Conditions shall represent a legally binding contract between Totalnannies Ltd (''the Agency'') and the client or employer (''the Client'').
2. The current scale of charges are as follows: Placement Fee of £550.00.
3. All correspondence and records shall be confidential and remain the property of the Agency. Information supplied by the Agency is confidential and is accepted by the Client on the condition that such information will not be disclosed to third parties.
4. Personal contacts or interviews with prospective candidates or their acquaintances can be arranged only if the full Placement Fee has been preauthorised by credit or debit card. After preauthorisation has been received the Client will receive the candidate's contact details and will have 3 days in which to decide whether to hire the candidate or not. After 3 days the Client's credit or debit card will be debited unless the Client contacts the Agency to inform it that they do not want to confirm the candidate. Subsequently if the Client decides not to confirm the candidate the card will be refunded in full. When the Client receives an offer of a candidate and clicks on the link to confirm the candidate the Client authorizes the Agency to debit their credit or debit card with the Placement Fees as per the Agency's invoice in order to confirm the candidate. When the Client receives an offer of a candidate and clicks on the link requesting further information on the candidate they are requesting the candidate's contact details to contact the candidate directly and subsequently are authorizing the Agency to preauthorize their debit or credit card with the Placement Fees as per the Agency's invoice.
5. If the Client directly contacts a candidate introduced by the Agency without the Agency's authorization the Client will be in breach of these terms and conditions and the Agency reserves the right to suspend the search on the Client's behalf and the registration will be considered invalidated and non refundable.
6. Should the Client effect any form of introduction, direct or indirect, of a candidate to a third party, or pass on any details resulting in permanent, short-term, full or part-time employment, the Client will be responsible for the full introductory fees in accordance with the current Scale of Charges.
7. The Agency will endeavor to provide the Client with candidates as well suited as possible, and to this end will seek to furnish the Client with all relevant information concerning the candidate and to check details, documentation and references. However, the final responsibility for any decision to employ the candidate rests with the Client, who is therefore strongly advised to check details, documentation and references personally. The Agency does not offer any warranty as the suitability, honesty, character or capability of any candidate.

If the Client does not contact the agency to inform it that the contract has been terminated the contract will be automatically renewed for a subsequent period equal to that of the initial contract period and the Client's credit or debit card will be charged with the subsequent fees due On acceptance of these terms and conditions the Client authorizes the agency to debit their credit or debit card for the renewal fee if the contract is renewed
