Consulting and Publication Services Terms & Conditions
1.Services And Statement Of Work
These terms and conditions and the Order Form comprise the agreement pursuant to which TBRC provides
the service/product to you (‘Agreement’). In some cases, the Order Form will be supported by a
Proposal Document listing the approach to the project and the deliverables. Note that only the most
recent version of proposal at the time of acceptance by TBRC of the Order Form will be valid, unless
otherwise stated in the order form. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and an
applicable Order Form, the Order Form shall govern.
2.Customer’s Duties And Responsibilities.
Customer shall make available in a timely manner at no charge to TBRC all technical data, computer
facilities, programs, or other information and resources reasonably required by TBRC for the
performance of the Services. Customer will be responsible for, and assumes the risk of any problems
resulting from, the content, accuracy, completeness and consistency of all such data, materials and
information supplied by Customer.
3.Relationship Of Parties.
Each party will be and act as an independent contractor and not as an agent or partner of, or joint
venturer with the other party, and neither party will by virtue of this Agreement have any right,
power or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other
party.
4.Confidentiality
TBRC and Customer each agree to retain in confidence the Confidential Information of the other party.
Each party agrees to:
(a) Preserve and protect the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential
Information.
(b) Refrain from using the other party’s Confidential Information except as contemplated
herein.
(c) Not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except as is reasonably
required in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (and

herein).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party
which is:
(i) already publicly known;
(ii) discovered or created by the receiving party without reference to or use of the Confidential
Information of the disclosing party, as shown in records of receiving party;
(iii) otherwise known to the receiving party through no wrongful conduct of the receiving party, or
(iv) required to be disclosed by law or court order. The confidentiality obligations of this Section
4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years. “Confidential
Information” means all non-public information, trade secrets, know-how, inventions, techniques,
processes, methodologies, programs, schematics, software, source code, data, work product, or any
materials which are either designated as proprietary and/or confidential, or by the nature of the
circumstances surrounding disclosure, should reasonably be understood to be confidential.
5.Intellectual Property Rights.
Consulting services performed by TBRC relate to research and analysis information, models and charts
produced by TBRC. As a result, TBRC retains all right, title and interest in and to the materials,
deliverables, Services and work product provided under each proposal. The materials, deliverables,
Services and work product shall not constitute “works made for hire” as that term is defined in
Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act. To the extent that any materials, deliverables, Services or
work product are considered to be “works made for hire,” Customer agrees to assign all right, title,
and interest in the foregoing to TBRC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
TBRC shall obtain no right, title or interest in any of Customer‟s Confidential Information.
TBRC grants to Customer a nonexclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the
deliverables solely for Customer‟s internal use, pursuant to the applicable license or proposal
relating to the TBRC research product or service at issue.
6.Customer Security Regulations/Work Policy.
Customer shall provide to TBRC, and TBRC shall ensure that its personnel or subcontractors make
commercially reasonable efforts to comply with Customer‟s security regulations. Unless otherwise
agreed to by both parties, TBRC‟s personnel (including its subcontractors) will observe the working
hours, working rules, and holiday schedules of Customer while working on Customer‟s premises
provided that TBRC‟s personnel are provided reasonable prior notice of all such hours, rules and
schedules.
7.Warranty And Disclaimer.
TBRC warrants that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all services
rendered pursuant to this agreement will be performed in a workmanlike manner consistent with
industry practices. We do not warrant that the Product will meet your requirements or that it will
be complete, error free or delivered without interruption. Findings, conclusions and recommendations
in the Product are based on information gathered in good faith from both primary and secondary
sources, whose accuracy we are not always in a position to guarantee.
8.Limitation Of Liability
Notwithstanding anything else herein, all liability of TBRC and/or suppliers and/or subcontractors
under this agreement or any Order Form hereunder shall be limited to the amount paid by customer to
TBRC under the order form which is the source of the liability. All liability under this agreement
is cumulative and not per incident.

In no event shall TBRC or its suppliers or subcontractors be liable under this agreement for (a) any
incidental or consequential damages, lost profits, lost data, or any other indirect damages even if
such party has been informed of the possibility thereof, or (b) any costs or expenses for the
procurement of substitute equipment or services.
10.Term And Termination.
I. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date stated in the Order Form and shall
continue in full force unless terminated earlier under the provisions of this Section 10. In some
cases, the term may be expressed in terms of work to be completed, in which case it will be
considered to be completed when TBRC delivers its finalized document to the client.
II. Failure by either party to comply with any material term or condition under this Agreement or a
proposal document issued hereunder shall entitle the other party to give the party in default
written notice requiring it to cure such default. If the party in default has not cured such default
within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice, the notifying party shall be entitled, in addition to
any other rights it may have, to terminate this Agreement (and all Order Forms issued hereunder)
and/or the individual Order Forms by giving notice effective immediately. Arbitration of such a
dispute will be by a third party agreed between TBRC and the client.
III. This Agreement or individual Order Form may be terminated immediately by either party through
written notice in the event that either party ceases to carry on business as a going concern,
becomes the object of the institution of voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy or
liquidation, or a receiver is appointed with respect to a substantial part of such party’s assets.
IV. Upon termination of this Agreement and Order Form(s), Customer shall pay TBRC for all work
performed under the affected Order form(s) up to the effective date of termination. In addition,
Customer agrees, within ten (10) days after termination, to deliver to TBRC at TBRC‟s discretion
either: (i) the original and all copies of the Deliverables and related materials received by
Customer in connection with the terminated work for which TBRC has not been paid in the course of
performance; or (ii) a certificate certifying that Customer has destroyed the original and all
copies of such Deliverables and related materials.
V. The rights and remedies of TBRC provided in this Section 10 shall not be exclusive and are in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law, in equity or otherwise under this
Agreement or Order Forms hereunder.
11.Assignment And Subcontracting

of the Courts of England.

hereunder caused by reason of occurrence or contingency beyond its reasonable control.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that the employees and consultants of TBRC performing the Services
are a valuable asset to TBRC and are difficult to replace. Accordingly, Customer agrees that, for a
period of one (1) year after the completion of the Services, it will not offer employment as an
employee, independent contractor, or consultant to any TBRC employee or consultant (including
employees or consultants of TBRC’s subcontractors) who perform any of the Services.
15.Governing Law
The Agreement shall be governed by the English law. The parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Courts of England.
16.Authority Of Document
The Agreement is the entire understanding between the parties relating to the Product/Service and
supersedes all previous agreements and understandings relating to the Product/ Service set out in
the order form. In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the Order
form, the Order form shall prevail. The Agreement may only be varied in writing signed by an
authorized representative of each party. Failure at any time to enforce any of these terms and
conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or affect the right of either party
to enforce the same. If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any tribunal of
competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not be affected and shall be carried out as
closely as possible according to the original intent.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Orders for our products and services can be placed by either signing an order form, or by written
confirmation or by making a payment for a specified product or service. These actions are regarded
as a legal commitment to buy and pay for the product or service.
Unfortunately due to the nature of our business we can not offer cancellations or refunds on our
products and services. This is because there is considerable specific work involved in most of our
products and services which can not always be reutilised, and may be conducted upon order/ payment
and before the product or service is delivered. In addition the value of the products and services
is based on their internal IP, which is fully available once the product is delivered.
We make every effort to ensure the high quality of our products and ensure all customers are
satisfied, as is shown by our large number of happy repeat customers, including incorporating post
sale feedback within the scope of the project or product as sold.
Please email info@tbrc.info or call +44 207 1930 708 for any specific
queries relating to this.
