Unless otherwise stated in the Sales Order Form or invoice, invoices will be due 14 days from the date of invoice, with invoices to be issued in advance from the Start Date of the Agreement. Mission Driven Talent may charge interest at the relevant statutory rate on any amounts not paid when due. Mission Driven Talent will add VAT to services charged for. Customers will be responsible for the payment of any other present or future sales, use, exercise or other similar tax applicable to the Services.

If Customer is a new customer paying by Direct Debit it will be required to complete a mandate which will be sent separately to Customer (with Customer’s bank account number, sort code, name of bank and name of account holder). If Customer has made payment via Direct Debit to Mission Driven Talent within the last 12 months, Mission Driven Talent will continue to use the same bank details it has on record until such time Customer notifies it differently. Customer must be the Direct Debit account holder. Customer warrants that it is the owner of the account used for the Direct Debit and the signatories on the Direct Debit instruction are authorised. Customer authorises its bank to disclose to Mission Driven Talent, and to its subcontractors and agents, details about its bank account in so far as is necessary in connection with this Agreement and to inform Mission Driven Talent if its Direct Debit Authority is terminated at any time.
