We shall provide the services to You that are referred to in both the application form that You have completed on our website and clause 2 below (the “Services”) on the terms and conditions of each Contract from the date on which You appoint such person as we may direct to be your VAT Agent in accordance with clause 3.1(d) below until termination in accordance with clause 11 below. We will direct you as to who you should appoint as VAT Agent following your completion of the application form and acceptance of these Terms.

1. We provide or procure an instant payment to You of an amount in respect of the relevant refund of foreign VAT paid by You which We then seek to obtain from relevant European tax authorities (the “Pre-Financing Service”).
2. However, in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, risks related to the European government or tax authority, the details of the expense for which we are claiming the refund, the issuer of the invoice, the needs of any third party provider of finance to us and Your position, we may in our sole discretion have to offer a lower service, under which We use all reasonable skill, diligence and care to carry out the steps necessary to seek to obtain from relevant European tax authorities any applicable refund of foreign VAT paid by You, in accordance with Directive 2008/9/CE (the “Normal Refund Service”);
3. Where You wish to request that We provide Services, We will seek to obtain relevant invoices and/or You must submit the relevant invoices and supporting documentation to Us in respect of which the Services are to be provided and in respect of which You believe You have a claim for the refund of foreign VAT paid by You to an applicable tax authority (a “Claim”). Your submission of the aforementioned invoices to Us constitutes an irrevocable offer by You to transfer all rights, title and interest in and to the Claim(s) relating thereto to Us upon these Terms.
4. Where We receive any such documentation, We shall review it and provide confirmation to You as to the Claims, if any, in respect of which We will provide Services and on which basis (i.e. whether as part of the Normal Refund Service or the Pre-Financing Service), as We deem appropriate in Our sole and absolute discretion. We may reject any or all Claims without any liability whatsoever to You and without any requirement to provide any explanation for such rejection.
5. Upon Claims being accepted by Us (“Accepted Claims”), We will be obliged to provide the Services in respect of the Accepted Claims in accordance the application form and these Terms. Each invoice forming part of an Accepted Claim shall constitute an individual and separate Contract between You and Us and shall be deemed to incorporate in full the application form and these Terms.
6. You hereby confirm, undertake and accept that upon formation of the relevant Contract(s) relating to any Accepted Claim, as referred to above, You shall automatically be deemed to assign all rights, title and interest (including any legal and beneficial rights, title and interest) in and to such Accepted Claim to Us or a third party finance provider (each a “Finance Provider”) selected by us at our discretion. You hereby irrevocably assign the same to Us, subject only to the formation of the relevant Contract relating to such Accepted Claim as referred to above, and You hereby warrant, represent and undertake that any such assignment shall be with full title guarantee, free from and clear of all encumbrances and third party rights of any kind.
7. We shall ensure that We have sufficiently skilled and experienced personnel to carry out the Services and that they provide You with updates at reasonable intervals as to the progress of any Accepted Claims falling within the Normal Refund Service.
8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You accept and agree that We may cease provision of part or all of the Services, without any liability to You of any kind, in the event that We become aware of circumstances, information or matters which will or may adversely affect the Accepted Claims, including any circumstances where recovery of refunds due becomes untimely and/or commercially unreasonable and/or non-viable. In such event, We shall notify You of such cessation, where reasonably practicable We will give You Our reasoning for such cessation and We shall seek to transfer back to You the relevant rights in the Accepted Claims that We will no longer pursue, subject to any payment obligations You may have under the relevant Contract.
9. Where We accept any Accepted Claims as falling within the Pre-Financing Service, You accept and acknowledge that the payment to You relating to the same may originate from such Finance Provider as We may elect, in our sole and absolute discretion, from time to time and that You will promptly enter into such further agreement or documentation with the Finance Provider as they or We may require, failing which the relevant Accepted Claim shall be deemed accepted solely on the basis of falling within the Normal Refund Service.
10. You irrevocably accept and acknowledge that there are currently and may in the future be minimum threshold levels related to the aggregate sum of any VAT refund claims which may apply (and which may change from time to time) in respect of the Services and that in the event that Accepted Claims do not exceed such thresholds, the Services may be delayed or postponed until such time as the relevant thresholds are met, without any liability for Us to You. As at 1 March 2016, such thresholds are 50 Euros for VAT refund claims made on an annual basis and 400 Euros for quarterly VAT refund claims.

1. You shall (and You shall ensure that those within Your reasonable control shall) at all times:

(a) co-operate with Us and Our personnel in all matters relating to the Services and provide such assistance as We may reasonably require;

(b) ensure that all documentation and information provided by You to Us shall be complete and accurate in all respects and that the same is provided promptly on request by Us;

(c) ensure that You notify Us immediately in the event that You become aware of any fact, circumstance or matter which could, would or may impact any Accepted Claim in any way;

(d) ensure that You do and execute all things and documents necessary and/or desirable to irrevocably appoint Us or our delegate, for administrative purposes, as Your sole and exclusive VAT refund agent in respect of all relevant jurisdictions in respect of which Accepted Claims exist for their duration and for the purposes of accessing the relevant web portals of taxation authorities in Your name and on Your behalf. You understand and acknowledge that until you have done so, we cannot provide you with our Services. For the avoidance of doubt, You shall not be entitled to appoint any third party as Your VAT refund agent in any such jurisdiction in relation to any Accepted Claims or any other claims You may have until all Accepted Claims have been refunded by the relevant tax authorities (or have been terminated or withdrawn in accordance with these Terms). You expressly acknowledge and accept that We shall not owe You the duties of a legal agent and that such appointment shall be solely for administrative purposes to enable Us to liaise with taxation authorities in Your name with a view to progressing the Accepted Claims;

(e) act in good faith at all times and do nothing nor omit to do anything which could, would or may adversely affect the Accepted Claims, the timing of any payments relating thereto, any interest or entitlement We or a Finance Provider may have in and to the Accepted Claims or any other interest or entitlement We may otherwise have, nor shall you do or omit to do anything which could, would or may adversely affect Our reputation or goodwill;

(f) not liaise directly with any taxation authority in respect of any Claim and shall promptly notify Us upon receipt of any communication from any taxation authority regarding any Accepted Claim and permit Us full and unfettered conduct of all Accepted Claims without any interference or obstruction by You or those within Your control;

(g) direct all sums due in respect of any Accepted Claim to be paid directly to Your Account (as defined below). We shall arrange for an account to be opened in Your name and/or on Your behalf with a relevant payment services provider or financial institution selected by Us from time to time (“Your Account”) for which We and/or the Finance Provider are the signatory for and over which We and/or the Finance Provider have full control. You shall complete all necessary documentation and authorisations in respect of Your Account as we, the Finance Provider, the payment services provider or financial institution determines. You confirm and accept that We and/or the Finance Provider shall have exclusive discretion as to the management and operation of Your Account and You shall ensure that all monies held within it are held on trust for Us and the Finance Provider as beneficiary at all times.


2. You hereby irrevocably warrant, represent and undertake that:

(a) You have not withheld and will not withhold from Us any information relevant to any Claim;

(b) You are not aware (and have no reason to believe or anticipate) that any taxation authority in any jurisdiction or any other third party has any right of set off against or to make deductions, withholdings and/or charges from or against any sums due in respect of any Claim at any time;

(c) Your entry into any Contract shall not in any way interfere with or breach any rights of a third party or any obligation owed or to become due to any third party;

(f) That you will immediately notify Us if You identify suspicious activity involving Our Services and will share such information with Us to assist Us and our partners in meeting any obligation to file suspicious activity reports and/or suspicious transaction reports.


3. If Our performance of Our obligations under a Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of You, Your agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, We shall not be liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by You that arise directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
4. You shall be liable to pay to Us, on demand, all reasonable costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Us (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit and loss of reputation, loss or damage to property and those arising from injury to or death of any person and loss of opportunity to deploy resources elsewhere) that arise directly or indirectly from Your fraud, negligence, failure to perform or delay in the performance of any of Your obligations under any Contract, subject to Us confirming such costs, charges and losses to You in writing.
5. In the event that, for any reason, You receive payment of any sums in any way other than into Your Account which relate to or are arising out of an Accepted Claim (other than a payment made by Us in accordance with clause 4), You hereby irrevocably confirm and undertake that You shall hold all of such sums on trust for Us and the Finance Provider,, You shall notify Us of such receipt (providing full details in relation thereto) immediately and You shall transfer all such sums, without any form of withholding, deduction or set off, promptly to Your Account or as otherwise agreed in writing with Us.

7. For the purposes of vesting in Us the full benefits and entitlements as contemplated under these Terms and any Contract, including but not limited to all rights, title and interest in and to the Accepted Claims accepted by Us, upon entry into a Contract You hereby irrevocably appoint Us to be Your attorney in Your name and on Your behalf to execute any such document or do any such thing and generally to use Your name for the purpose of giving to Us (or Our nominee) the full benefit of the provisions of all Contracts and, in favour of any third party, a certificate in writing signed by any director or the secretary of Us that any instrument or act falls within the authority conferred by this clause shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case. Furthermore, You irrevocably agree to ratify all such actions which We have made in Your name and on your behalf under this clause immediately upon request.

You hereby irrevocably undertake to indemnify Us fully and at all times against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal costs) We may incur as a result of any breach by You of any Contract and any step We may take, in our sole and absolute discretion, to enforce any of our rights and entitlements under any Contract.

1. In consideration of the provision of the Services by the Supplier, You shall pay the fees as set out in the relevant application form provided to You by Us in respect of the Normal Refund Service.

Such payment shall be made monthly in arrears on or before the end of the month following the month in which the Contract is concluded.
3. All fees quoted to You shall be exclusive of VAT, which We shall add to Our invoices at the appropriate rate.
4. You accept and agree that the fees charged by Us and the method of calculation of payment for Accepted Claims (each as set out in the relevant application form(s)) are dependent upon a number of factors, including volumes of Accepted Claims with which We may be dealing from time to time. As such, You expressly and irrevocably hereby accept and agree that We may review and amend either or both of our fees or method of calculation at any time upon provision to You of not less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice. Any such amendments shall only apply in respect of Claims which become Accepted Claims on or after the date of expiry of such notice.
5. In respect of the Normal Refund Service, We will provide You with a periodical statement electronically, in arrears, of sums recovered as a result of Accepted Claims along with a calculation of the relevant fees due to Us in respect of the provision of the Services. We shall seek to deduct any fees payable by You to Us in respect of the Normal Refund Service from any sums recovered as a result of the relevant Accepted Claim. However, in any event, You shall pay any invoice submitted to You by Us, in full and in cleared funds within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the same, to a bank account nominated in writing by Us.
6. In the event that We make payment to You in respect of an Accepted Claim pursuant to clause 4.2 above but the refund obtained by Us in respect of such Accepted Claim is lower than the basis upon which the payment under clause 4.2 was calculated and paid, You hereby irrevocably undertake to repay to Us promptly on demand any shortfall between the sums actually recovered by Us and the intended refund amount upon which the payment pursuant to clause 4.2 was calculated and paid, as calculated and notified to You by Us.

9. We reserve the right, exercisable at our sole and absolute discretion, to set off and/or deduct from any sums due to You from Us, any fees or other sums due from You to Us, whether in respect of any particular Accepted Claim, all Accepted Claims or otherwise.
