(a) we may request further information from you until we are satisfied we have sufficient information to assess the Change Request; and
(b) you and we may negotiate in good faith any changes to the Contract Details which may be desirable to implement the Change Request (such negotiations terminating automatically on the issuing by us of a Change Response (as defined below) or a denial of the Change Request).
6.3 Once we have assessed (and if applicable negotiated) such a Change Request, we will either:
(a) in our sole discretion, deny the Change Request; or
(b) inform you of any changes to the Contract Details necessary for us to grant the Change Request (Change Response).

7. Site Visits
7.1 The provisions of this clause 7 apply without prejudice to the generality of clause 4 (your obligations).
7.2 This clause 7 applies in the event that any part of the Services are to be performed, or any part of the Deliverables are to be created or generated, at your premises or other premises chosen or selected by you (Site) (Site Visit).
7.3 Where a Site Visit is stipulated in the Contract Details, or where we have otherwise agreed to undertake a Site Visit, it is your responsibility and obligation to ensure that, at the time and on the date we have agreed for the Site Visit (Site Visit Time), the Site is ready and prepared for us to immediately begin performing the Services and generating or creating the Deliverables, including but not limited to:
(a) providing us with access to the Site;
(b) ensuring that the Site is clean;
(c) ensuring an adequate supply of electricity and lighting;
(d) ensuring that all desired objects to be shown in the Deliverables are at the Site, that those objects are in the condition intended to be shown in the Deliverables and that no other objects are present;
(e) ensuring that all necessary personnel are present;
(f) ensuring that all furniture is in the position necessary for the creation or generation of the Deliverables; and
(g) ensuring compliance with clause 7.9 below;
and neither we, nor our employees, agents or subcontractors shall be obliged to assist you in any way in complying with the provisions of this clause 7.3.
7.4 To the extent you fail to comply with clause 7.3, you agree to pay us and our subcontractors on a time and materials basis at our standard hourly rate (plus Expenses and in addition to the Charges and Subcontractor Fees) for the period of time from the Site Visit Time until such time as the Site is compliant with the provisions of clause 7.3. You agree that this is reasonable because of the cost to us in lost working time of our officers, employees, agents and subcontractors attending a Site which is not compliant with the provisions of clause 7.3 at the Site Visit Time.
7.5 If the Site is not compliant with clause 7.3 by the end of the period originally agreed for undertaking the Site Visit (such as a working day, or half a working day), we shall be entitled to leave the premises and deem that Site Visit as cancelled by you as at the Site Visit Time (Aborted Site Visit).
7.6 In the event of a dispute as to whether a Site is compliant with the provisions of clause 7.3, or was compliant with the provisions of clause 7.3 at the Site Visit Time, our determination shall be final and binding on both of us.
7.7 To cancel or postpone a Site Visit, you must give us 20 Business Days’ notice in writing. If you fail to do so, then if you cancel or postpone a Site Visit, or in the event of an Aborted Site Visit, you are obliged to make payment to us of all Charges, Subcontractor Fees and Expenses as if we had attended and successfully performed the Site Visit at the Site Visit Time originally agreed. If we then attend a previously cancelled/postponed/aborted Site Visit at a later date, you must pay us all Charges, Subcontractor Fees and Expenses for that Site Visit again. You agree that this is reasonable because of the cost to us in:
(a) lost working time of our officers, employees, agents and subcontractors who have spent time preparing or travelling to attend a Site Visit, or allocated time for the Site Visit which cannot be used for other work; and
(b) expenses of our officers, employees, agents and subcontractors incurred for the purposes of the Site Visit.
7.8 Unless:
(a) provided otherwise in the Contract Details; or
(b) agreed otherwise as a Change;
each Contract only includes one Site Visit.
7.9 In relation to health and safety during a Site Visit:
(a) you are obliged to take all necessary measures to comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and any other Acts, orders, regulations and Codes of Practice relating to health and safety which may apply to our officers, employees, agents and subcontractors in their undertaking a Site Visit;
(b) you shall promptly notify us of any health and safety hazards which may exist or arise at the Site and which may affect our officers, employees, agents or subcontractors in undertaking a Site Visit; and
(c) while at a Site, we shall procure that our officers, employees, agents and subcontractors shall comply with any health and safety measures implemented by you at the Site, provided that you have notified us of those health and safety measures on or before the Site Visit Time.
8. Charges and payment
8.1 In consideration for the provision of the Services, you will pay the Charges, Subcontractor Fees and any other amounts due to us under the Contract in accordance with this clause 8. You will also reimburse us for any expenses reasonably incurred by our employees, agents, consultants and subcontractors in connection with the Services including travelling expenses, hotel costs, subsistence and any associated expenses (Expenses).

(a) if dates and/or amounts for payment are specified in the Contract Details then in accordance with those dates and/or amounts;
(b) save as otherwise set out in the Contract Details, we shall be entitled to invoice you for 50% of the amount of the Charges and Subcontractor Fees immediately following the Contract becoming legally binding (see clause 2);
(c) save as otherwise set out in the Contract Details, we shall be entitled to invoice you for 100% of the Charges, Subcontractors Fees and Expenses immediately following acceptance of the Deliverables, to the extent not already invoiced to you; and
(d) except where you have been invoiced as set out above, we may invoice you for all amounts due under the Contract monthly in arrears.
8.4 You must pay each invoice due and submitted by us, within 30 days of the date of the invoice, to such bank account as we may notify to you from time to time.
8.5 If you fail to make any payment due to us under this clause 8 by the due date for payment, then, without limiting our remedies under clause 13 (Termination):
(a) you shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgement. Interest under this clause will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%; and
(b) we may suspend all Services until payment has been made in full.
8.6 All amounts due under the Contract from you to us shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
