Insurance

I have £5 million public liability cover and £100,000 professional indemnity. Policy documents can be provided on request. My policies do cover to work on films, events, theatre productions as well as running workshops and work on my own practice.

 

Pencilling Dates

Days pencilled on a job can be done well in advance of the project's start dates with cost estimates provided, but the job must be confirmed at least 1 week before the start date. I reserve the right to accept other projects if you do not confirm your project within this timeframe.

 

 

Cancellation

On Site Days: If the agreed work days are cancelled, fees shall be determined as follows. All 7 days of the week count for notice of cancellation. For calculating notice of cancellation given, the day on which notice is given is included but the work day is not. With projects of 1-3 days, the fee applies to the whole engagement. With projects of 4+ days, each day is a separate engagement and the fee is calculated for each.

 

Percentage of anticipated rates charged as cancellation fee:

5+ days of notice = 0%   4-3 days of notice = 50%   2-1 days of notice = 100%

 

 

Expenses

Expenses incurred during the period of my employment (including travelling to and from work) will be passed on to the client, these include but are not limited to taxis, transfers, flight tickets, subsistence, parking, road tolls, congestions charges, central London charges, ULEZ charges (applicable 24 hours a day/7 days a week) and fuel (charged at £0.45 per mile). Where there are high expenses incurred on a job these may be billed separately after the job and are required to be paid immediately.

 

Payment

Unless clearly stated in contractual terms, invoices are to be paid by default within 14 days from submission of the invoice. Payment outside this period will incur late payment fees as per HMRC’s ‘The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998’ at the rate of 8%pa plus BoE base rate, and collection compensation under section 5A. Compensation fee = £40 up to £999, £70 from £1000 to £9,999.99 & Late Payment fee = 12% of invoice total per late day.
