The Security Services can be booked, tracked, and managed with Company’s exclusive software that is available for use on Company’s website. Use of the Website, is subject to THE BROTHERS SPECIAL SECURITY SERVICE Terms of Use, which are attached to and incorporated into these Terms and Conditions as Exhibit A. These Terms and Conditions and each online booking confirmation or services addendum that Company approves in writing (together or each a “Scope of Work”) constitutes a legally binding contract between you (the “Client”) and Company (collectively, the “Contract”). For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Company and Client are each a “Party”and together the “Parties.&”
COMPANY OBLIGATIONS
The fulfillment of Client’s request for Security Services under a Scope of Work (“Booking”) may be for a single event (“Single Booking”) or on a recurring weekly or monthly basis (“Recurring Booking”). For Recurring Bookings, Company strives to supply dedicated security personnel (“Guards”) but makes no guarantee that the same Guards will be present for the entirety of each Recurring Booking. Any special requests for a particular Guard will be handled on a case-by-case basis in the sole discretion of Company. Company will be responsible for the hiring, supervising, screening, scheduling, and compensation of the Guards. Company will ensure that Guards are appropriately licensed to provide security services in the applicable jurisdiction. Company will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations in providing the Security Services. Client may at any time direct Company to prepare a change order that describes any scope- related changes to a Scope of Work. If the requested change is acceptable to Company, the Scope of Work will be amended accordingly. For Recurring Bookings, Company will work with Client to develop standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) that specify the specific duties that Guards will perform for Client at each service location as specified in the Scope of Work. The SOPs will be included with each applicable Scope of Work and become part of the Contract. For Single Bookings, Client is responsible to provide an SOP to Company. Company will make available to Client incident reports via the Software. The report will contain the name of the Guard; hours of shift activity during each shift, including any unusual happenings, hazards, or other circumstances; and any emergency presented. Specific reporting requirements will be included with each applicable Scope of Work and become part of the Contract.
CLIENT OBLIGATIONS
In order to obtain Security Services from Company, Client is required to create a registered account via telephone or through the Software (“Account”) in accordance with the Terms of Use. Client will designate one of its employees to serve as its primary contact with respect to each Booking and the Contract (the “Site Manager”). Client will require that the Site Manager respond promptly to any reasonable requests from Company for instructions, information, or approvals required by Company to provide the Security Services. Client will cooperate with Company in its performance of the Security Services and provide access to Client’s premises, employees, contractors, and equipment as required to enable Company to provide the Security Services, and will ensure a safe working environment for Guards. Client will take all steps necessary, including obtaining any required licenses or consents, to prevent Client-caused delays in Company’s provision of the Security Services. In addition to each Guard’s hourly rate, Client will also pay the applicable regular rate of pay for paid meal and/or rest periods, any penalties associated with missed meal and/or rest periods pursuant to applicable law, any holiday pay due to Guards, and any overtime pay that Company must pay any Guard as a result of a schedule change made by Client with less than 72 hours’ written notice to Company.
FEES/EXPENSES AND BILLING
Client will pay the then-current fees for Security Services as specified in a Scope of Work. Fees will be deemed earned by Company as of the date that Security Services are provided. Client will reimburse Company for all reasonable expenses incurred in accordance with the Scope of Work or pre-approved in writing by the Site Manager. Company will require each Guard to use the Software to check in and out daily for each Booking. If a Guard checks out late for a Booking (for example, the set schedule requires each Guard to be at Client’s site from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, but the Guard is requested by Client to stay until 6:00 pm), Client will have 48 hours to dispute the extra hours in accordance with the notice provisions under Section 11.4. Undisputed extra Security Service hours for each Guard will be billed at the Guard’s normal hourly rate for that Booking, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Scope of Work. For Recurring Bookings, Client agrees to the specific Service Level indicated in the Scope of Work for the duration of the Agreement. However, the company offers 24/7hour service including bank holiday and public holidays, depending on the time schedule the guards are required the above statement about guards working hours stands the same. The provision of Security Services for a Recurring Booking will be billed as specified in the applicable Scope of Work. The provision of Security Services for a Single Booking will be billed upon completion of such single Booking. Unless otherwise provided in a Scope of Work, payment of fees will be due within 30 days of issuance of each invoice by Company. All payments must be made in UK POUNDS. Late payments will be subject to a late payment fee equal to seven percent (7%) of the fees due under each invoice; in addition, all past-due payments under one or more invoice will accrue interest at a rate of 1½ percent per month or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Payments made to Company for Security Services received are non‐refundable absent manifest error. Company has no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in extenuating circumstances in Company’s sole discretion, such as to correct any errors made by Company. Client will be responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any UK governmental law, or entity on any amounts payable by Client. Client will reimburse Company for all reasonable costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. In addition to all other remedies available under the Contract or at law (which Company does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Company may suspend Security Services if the Client fails to pay any undisputed amounts when due.
