Retaining Foliomoda - our Fees, Terms & Conditions

1. Foliomoda operates a Talent Scout service (FM Talent Scout) for which an annual, non-refundable, subscription is payable at £120.00 or €200.00 for four quarterly issues. A client is deemed to accept these terms and conditions on payment of the annual subscription, signing the recruitment form or engaging a candidate.

2. This subscription entitles clients to see candidates, with a view to their employment, listed on the FM Talent Scout or listed on Foliomoda's books as seeking employment at the time of enquiry.

3. Clients engaging a candidate through the above service shall pay a fee at the following rates:

25% on the first year's remuneration

Remuneration means the annual commencing salary to include an actual or a notional figure for benefits and allowances which form part of the total remuneration package in accordance with the standard rates of Foliomoda in evaluating such benefits from time to time.

All moneys due to Foliomoda shall be paid within 21 days of the date of Foliomoda's invoice.

4. If the candidate’s engagement ceases for any reason within three months and Foliomoda are informed in writing of the fact within one week of its happening, a refund will be made to the subscriber as follows:

If within one (1) month the whole fee

If within three (3) months one -third of the fee
provided that the fee has been paid by the due date.

One-third in advance
One-third on shortlisting
One-third on placement.

In the event of the client discontinuing the search for any reason, tranche payments already invoiced are not refundable.

6. In the event of a client requesting the engagement of a candidate on a freelance basis, Foliomoda charge a fee based on 25% of the total annual fee or remuneration. This fee is payable either at the stage the freelance work is completed on a seasonal or bi-annual basis, dependant upon the work commissioned, or immediately a candidate is commissioned by the client. Foliomoda reserve the right to invoice the client on either basis at their discretion.

7. Freelance candidates subsequently retained on a full time basis are charged at Foliomoda’s normal rates under clause 3 or 5 and if appropriate the initial freelance fees are refunded by Foliomoda or set off against the full fee due from the client.

10. Notwithstanding the terms of clause 09, the client shall satisfy himself to the suitability of any candidate for any vacancy and shall have the responsibility of taking up references, checking the validity of qualifications, obtaining any work or other permits and for ensuring the designer satisfies any medical requirements.
