Zabeel UK acknowledges that Client Company will not deal with the Zabeel UK on the basis of any contractual terms except for these Terms of Business or when any other mutual Contract or Agreement may exist. Zabeel UK acknowledges and agrees that no other terms will apply to any part of Subscription service including Introductions made to Client Company by Zabeel UK. These Terms of Business will commence on the Contract Start Date and (subject to termination as provided below) shall continue until and unless terminated by either Party in accordance with the Terminations Clause. If a Client Company does not agree with these Terms of Business then the Zabeel UK cannot Introduce any Candidate to Client Company. Likewise, if a Clint Company violates any of the terms, their Subscription may be invalid.

b. When Introducing a Candidate to Client Company, Zabeel UK will assist and obtain confirmation of the Candidate’s:
(i) identity (including proof of name and address); 
(ii) legal right to work or presence in the country in question;
(iii) experience, training, qualifications and any authorisation which Client Company considers necessary for the Candidate to possess in order to fit in the relevant Vacancy position; 
(iv) willingness to offer services in the relevant Vacancy position; and
v) consent to submit their CV and other information to Client Company for the relevant Vacancy position(s) and related processes.
