5.1.              What Fees do you have to pay for the Services? If the Claim is successful and Compensation is due to you, the Fees due to us are calculated as a percentage of the Compensation you are due to receive. The reason for the setting our payment at the rates below is to reflect the risk that some claims may not be successful and our costs in delivering the Services to you. The Fees are calculated as follows:

5.2.1.        if the Compensation is paid to us by the Provider, we will deduct and retain the Fee due to us from the total Compensation we receive and pay the remaining balance of the Compensation to you as soon as reasonably practicable in any event, we will take steps within two business days of receipt to make such a payment; or
5.2.2.        if the Compensation is paid to you by the Provider, following the issue of an offer of Compensation by a Provider, we will issue an invoice to you in respect of the amount of the Fee due to us. You must pay our invoice within 7 days of the date of payment of the Compensation due to you by the Provider (“Due Date”). You can pay our invoice by credit or debit card (over the telephone) or by bank transfer to the bank account shown on the invoice;
5.2.3.        the Services are provided on a “no win, no fee” basis, therefore, if your Claim is not successful, you will not have to pay us anything. Refer to 9.2.
5.3.           We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the Due Date we may charge interest to you on the overdue  amount at the prevailing interest rate applied by the Courts pursuant to section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 (currently 8% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time). This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the Due Date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

10.            Continuing liability for the Fees – YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN PARTICULARLY TO THIS CLAUSE
10.1.         This clause 10 will continue to have effect, even when Compensation has been paid to you in respect of a Claim. If, after we have completed the performance of the Services, further Compensation becomes due to you (for example, because of a change in the law or because the Financial Conduct Authority has ruled that Providers or any other financial institutions must pay more compensation to people who have been mis-sold Products) we shall be entitled to payment of the Fee (i.e. at the percentage described in clause 5.1) in respect of any further Compensation paid to you in connection with any Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause shall not apply where the Contract has ended before we have completed the Services (i.e. because you have ended the Contract in accordance with clauses 6 or 7 or because we have ended the Contract in accordance with clause 9).
10.2.         Other consequences of termination. If the Contract comes to an end, neither you or we will lose any rights or liabilities that have arisen under                                                                the Contract as a result of the Contract coming to an end.

11.2.         Nobody else has any rights under the Contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
11.3.         If a court finds part of the Contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs (or part paragraph, as relevant) will remain in full force and effect.

11.4.         Even if we delay in enforcing this Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking the Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
11.5.         The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between you and us. The Contract replaces and supersedes all previous agreements, promises, contracts, assurances, promises, warranties representations and understandings relating to this matter made at any stage by either you or us. Notwithstanding any other term of these Terms, nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for something that we cannot exclude or limit in law.
11.6.         We may vary these Terms and the Contract, only where you and we have both agreed to the variation of these Terms or the Contract in                                                                          writing.
