Fee shall become payable by the Client on the agreed start date or commencement into a contract of employment (whichever is the soonest). If, after acceptance of an offer of engagement, but prior to the Applicant commencing the engagement, the Client decides for any reason, which is outside the control of Alexander Daniels Ltd, not to proceed with the engagement, it shall still be liable to pay Alexander Daniels Ltd the Final Fee. The Client agrees to notify Alexander Daniels Ltd forthwith upon the engagement by the Client of an Applicant introduced by Alexander Daniels Ltd and, if so requested by Alexander Daniels Ltd, will provide copies of all terms of such engagement.
