You may request to cancel services at anytime. Payment for any work in progress may be required.

3.1 Ongoing Services

Where we have agreed to provide you with ongoing services, we may not issue a formal quote for each activity that you request us to perform. In this case you will be billed at a rate we have both previously agreed or otherwise at the prevailing rate according to our price list.

We may ask you to confirm each of your requirements in writing until we are satisfied that we have an understanding of your ongoing needs and how your organisation operates.

Once we have been dealing with you for some time we will generally take instructions from you by any of the following methods:
