These Terms of Engagement govern the provision of advisory services by Aegis Risk & Decision Advisory Ltd (Company No. NI736303), referred to as “Aegis”, “we”, “us” or “our”, to the client, referred to as “you” or “your organisation”.
By instructing Aegis to carry out advisory work, you agree to these terms. A formal engagement letter or proposal will be issued for each piece of work, which should be read alongside these general terms.
Aegis provides independent advisory services relating to the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Protect Duty / Martyn’s Law) and related security governance matters. Our services include but are not limited to:
The specific scope, deliverables and timescales for each engagement will be set out in a written proposal or engagement letter prior to work commencing.
All fees are quoted on a fixed-fee basis unless otherwise agreed in writing. The fee for each engagement will be confirmed in the proposal or engagement letter before work begins.
Invoices are issued upon completion of the engagement or at agreed milestones for larger programmes of work. Payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date unless alternative terms are agreed in writing.
All fees are quoted exclusive of VAT. VAT will be charged where applicable at the prevailing rate.
Reasonable travel and subsistence expenses incurred in the delivery of services will be recharged at cost, with prior agreement from the client.
To enable us to deliver our services effectively, you agree to:
Delays caused by the client in providing access, information or feedback may affect the delivery timescale and, in some cases, may result in additional fees being agreed.
All information shared between Aegis and the client during the course of an engagement will be treated as confidential. We will not disclose your information to any third party without your prior written consent, except where required by law.
This obligation of confidentiality survives the termination of the engagement and continues indefinitely.
We may reference the fact that we have worked with your organisation (for example, in a client list or case study) only with your prior written approval.
All reports, documents and materials produced by Aegis in the course of an engagement are the intellectual property of Aegis until full payment has been received. Upon receipt of full payment, ownership of the deliverables transfers to the client.
Aegis retains the right to use anonymised methodologies, frameworks and general knowledge developed during engagements for the purpose of improving our services. No client-specific or identifiable information will be used without consent.
Aegis provides advisory services based on professional judgement and the information available at the time of the engagement. Our advice is intended to assist your organisation in making informed decisions. It does not constitute legal advice, and we recommend that you seek independent legal counsel where appropriate.
Our total liability in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid for that engagement. Aegis shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential or special losses arising from the engagement.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Aegis holds Professional Indemnity Insurance and Public Liability Insurance. Details are available on request.
Either party may terminate an engagement by providing 14 days’ written notice to the other party.
If the client cancels an engagement after work has commenced, fees will be payable for all work completed up to the date of cancellation, plus any non-recoverable expenses incurred.
If Aegis is unable to complete an engagement due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we will notify you promptly and refund any fees paid for work not yet delivered.
Aegis processes personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Full details of how we handle personal data are set out in our Privacy Policy.
Where an engagement involves Aegis processing personal data on your behalf, a separate data processing agreement will be put in place where required.
Aegis is an independent advisory practice. We do not manufacture, supply or resell security products, technology, training packages or security personnel services. Our advice is shaped entirely by the interests of the client.
If a potential conflict of interest is identified in relation to any engagement, we will disclose it to you promptly and agree an appropriate course of action.
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our service, please contact us at info@aegisrda.co.uk or by telephone on 07436 165 488. We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days and aim to resolve it within 20 working days.
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Northern Ireland. Any disputes arising from these terms or any engagement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Northern Ireland.
Aegis reserves the right to update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Terms applicable to a specific engagement are those in force at the date the engagement letter or proposal is accepted.
