6 Incentives
The Independent Fieldwork Company Limited will on request prepare and despatch respondent incentives only in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
Incentive requests are only to be made by Clients with the authority to agree to these terms and conditions. Receipt by us of such a request implies that the person making the request has the requisite authority.
Please note that Indiefield does not accept cash settlement in excess of 10,000 GB Pounds (or the equivalent of 15,000 Euros if less) for any single transaction.
Requests to provide incentives must be received by us at least 5 days prior to their being required. If a request is received later than this then Indiefield reserve the right to charge for any additional costs incurred in effecting the request.
At the time of invoicing Indiefield will charge an administration fee equal to 10% of the value of the incentives. This is to cover the cost to Indiefield for bank charges, postage, packing, labelling and other administrative costs. This amount may be varied at any time.
Incentives that are being posted to respondents by Indiefield may incur a postage and packing charge per incentive that will be detailed within the individual project plan.
Invoices for incentives are due for IMMEDIATE payment IN FULL. Such invoices will be clearly marked as such and will be dated as at the date on which the monies were withdrawn from the Indiefield bank account(s) or in any other way made unavailable for use by Indiefield for other purposes.
Where Incentive Invoices are not paid on time, Indiefield reserve the right to charge an additional 2.5% per month.
Furthermore, where there are Incentive Invoices outstanding for more than 30 calendar days, Indiefield reserve the right to either (a) cancel the supply of further incentives or (b) impose a 25% handling charge on the supply of further incentives. Indiefield will endeavour to give prior notice of this but they do not under any circumstances guarantee to do so.
All incentives and paperwork for the job will be prepared by Indiefield and sent directly to the Client making the request who will be responsible for the administration and distribution of the incentives.
Indiefield and its agents cannot be held responsible for the loss or theft of incentive monies.
Furthermore any unused incentives remain the property of the Client. Indiefield cannot accept returned incentives.
