9.1 Our ‘retainer’ and ‘subscription’ services are subject to this ‘Fair Use Policy’.
9.2 We expect ebbs and flows of support requirements from our Clients according to their circumstances and needs from time to time. These will not affect the support provided by LC Management Consulting but may incur an additional cost if the support a Client requires is ‘excessive’ compared to the cost of the Retainer fee paid by the Client.
9.3 If we reasonably judge the support required by a particular Client to be excessive in any one month or is consistently excessive across several months, we will:
a) In the first instance make the client aware of their usage of the retainer and explore ways to reduce the support burden moving forward; and then if necessary;
b) Agree with the Client an adjustment to subsequent monthly fees, and/or agree on costs for further work to be delivered outside of the scope of the retainer; or;
c) Offer the Client an option to cancel their retainer by giving 1 month’s written notice; or if the Client is unwilling to do so;
d) Cancel the Client’s retainer with a minimum of 1 month’s notice to enable the Client time to find an alternative provider.
