Terms of
Business.

The engagement

All Foremark advisory work is governed by a written engagement letter agreed and signed by both parties before any work commences. The engagement letter sets out the scope of work, the fixed fee, the timeline, the deliverables, and the payment schedule. No work will commence until the engagement letter is signed by an authorised representative of both parties.

Foremark does not accept verbal instructions to commence work. Any change to the scope, fee, or timeline set out in the engagement letter must be agreed in writing by both parties before the additional work commences.

Fees and payment

All Foremark engagements are priced on a fixed-fee basis. No hourly billing. The fixed fee is agreed in the engagement letter before any commitment is made. Government filing fees, registration charges, notary costs, and third-party costs are billed separately at cost with no markup.

Payment is due in accordance with the payment schedule set out in the engagement letter, typically 40% on signing, 40% on Phase 2 completion, and 20% on Phase 4 completion. Late payment accrues interest at 4% above the Bank of England base rate from the due date.

Deliverables and confidentiality

All intelligence reports, structural designs, tax architecture documents, and other deliverables produced by Foremark for a client are produced exclusively for that client. Foremark does not aggregate, anonymise, or share client deliverables with any other party.

Foremark maintains strict confidentiality in respect of all client information. Foremark's staff and Country Directors are bound by confidentiality obligations that survive the termination of their engagement with Foremark.

The 90-day guarantee

Foremark's Scale engagement includes a written commitment that the client's entity will be incorporated, banked, and operationally capable within 90 days of engagement commencement. If Foremark fails to meet this commitment for reasons within Foremark's control, the first month of the retainer will be provided at no charge.

The 90-day guarantee applies to the Scale engagement (Phases 1–5) only. It does not apply to Starter Report (Phase 1 only) or Enterprise engagements. The guarantee commences on the date the signed engagement letter is received by Foremark.

Limitation of liability

Foremark's liability in connection with any engagement is limited to the total fees paid by the client in respect of that engagement. Foremark is not liable for any indirect, consequential, or special loss, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, or loss of business opportunity.

Nothing in these terms limits Foremark's liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Governing law

These terms of business and all Foremark engagement letters are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from a Foremark engagement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
