This would be plus any out of pocket costs invoiced to us, or paid or incurred by us (this may also include consequential costs).
Furthermore if after persistent failure to settle a particular invoice a third party debt recovery company and or legal action may be instigated within one month of failure to pay the aforesaid invoice.
If legal action is taken court costs may be added / recovered.
Warning; we use some of the best investigation companies and methods available to track long term delinquent payment, across the EU. and USA.

e. APPLICATIONS & FEES
We reserve the right to not submit or withdraw a current application if, it does not fit our high standards, it is not fully supported by us, and therefore not up to our recommended standards and procedures.
If this is the case, the client may be offered an unsupported (eg. Householder) Application to submit to the relevant Authority, for which no discount shall apply unless previously agreed.
We never financially handle, Local Authority and other fees, ie. Planning / Building Control Application, Engineers fees etc., and such fees are not included in our fee structure. A cheque made payable to the Local Authority, or other body, is usually obtained from the client.

A Catch all statement. Any usual terms & conditions and laws, herein not mentioned that may protect Beau Group, in any way shape or form, shall apply to the fullest extent allowed by any relevant law/s etc.
Although any lump-sum fee is generally (all but any exceptions noted), inclusive, excessive and chronic changes may be notified as chargeable. However this will be brought to the clients attention, should the scenario arrise.

g. WARRANTIES
It is our mission to always provide the best possible services at a competitive price wherever possible, and to honour all long term legal obligations to our clients, to that end.
Warranties run from time of handover of completed works, however no warranties shall be honoured until all payments are final and satisfied, and the client shall have no right of use until then.

h. E-MAIL
