In these terms and conditions:

‘the contractor’ means the limited company engaged by Recruitment Funding Solutions (RFS) to provide the services of its employees to the clients of RFS.
‘we’, ‘us’, ‘ourselves’ or similar words mean Recruitment Funding Solutions (RFS)
‘the client’ means our client
‘the parties’ means the contractor and ourselves, collectively.
‘Assignment’ means the services for which the client engages the independent contractor.
‘Engage’ means to book/or use the services of the independent contractor for the purpose of the assignment and ‘engagement’ shall have a related meaning.
‘Employee’ means any officer, representative, employee or staff member of the contractor and use of the singular shall include the plural.

These terms and conditions constitute a contract for services between the contractor and ourselves and shall govern assignments undertaken by the contractor with any client of ours.
For the avoidance of doubt, these terms shall not be construed as a contract between us and any employee or other individual supplied by the contractor and any liabilities of an employer shall be those of the contractor alone.
The contractor shall be deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions by virtue of the acceptance of any Assignment irrespective of whether or not the declaration at the end of these terms has been completed.
In our dealings with the contractor we act as an employment business.
The headings contained herein are included for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of the contents hereof in any way.
No variation or alteration to these terms and conditions shall be valid unless approved by a Managing Director of our company, in writing.
These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
These terms and conditions shall prevail over any other terms and conditions the contractor may proffer.

2.1 We shall endeavour to seek assignments and placements for the contractor that are relevant to the contractor’s skills and qualifications and of the type of work the contractor indicated on the application form that it wishes to supply employees to do. We shall determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, the contractor’s suitability for any Assignment. We make no representation, however, that we will find any suitable assignments. The contractor appreciates that there may be periods when no work may be available. We are not obliged to offer the contractor work and we shall incur no liability for not doing so.
