1.4 We grant you authority to issue necessary credit notes for normal business purposes provided that you also deliver to us promptly copies of all credit notes issued and do not issue credit notes in excess of £1,000 without our prior written approval.
1.5 If we so request you will, at your expense, both before and after termination of this Agreement, execute, stamp and deliver to us a deed in a form that we approve legally assigning to us any Debt and its Related Rights and deliver to us any instrument, policies, deeds or securities included therein with any requisite endorsement or signature.
2 Disclosure
You will ensure that every Invoice or other notice requiring payment of a Debt is clearly endorsed to the effect that the relevant Debt has been Discounted, and payment is only to be made to us.
We may at any time give notice of Invoice Discounting to your Customers on your behalf and at your expense.
3 Disapproval and Approval
We may at the time of Notification or later by writing to you or by posting on your online access Disapprove any Debt by reason of age, dispute, funding limit or otherwise and at our discretion Approve any Disapproved Debt. If we Disapprove a Debt any Initial Payment made against such Debt becomes repayable to us immediately.
4 Payments
4.1 An Initial Payment less the Facility Charge will be made available to you as soon as we receive Notification in the case of an Approved Debt or when we Approve a Disapproved Debt.
4.2 We may withhold any Initial Payment:
(i) at the time of Notification, until we are satisfied with our enquiries as to the status of the Debt;
(ii) at any time, if it would mean that the Facility Limit or Customer Concentration for the relevant Customer would be exceeded if it were paid to you. Funding will become available once the Debt falls within the relevant limits.
4.3 A Second Payment will be made available to you in respect of payments received by us from your Customers as soon as we receive confirmation of cleared funds at our bank. In our discretion such payments may be deemed cleared four days after receipt.
4.4 All payments will be made to you in sterling unless otherwise agreed between us.

(iii) a Set-up Fee for establishing this facility in the amount shown on the first page of this Agreement, on the Completion Date;
(iv) a ReInvoice Discounting Fee at the rate shown on the first page of this Agreement, payable on the fifth day of each month, where any Customer has not by the ReInvoice Discounting Date paid us the Gross Book Value of a Debt whether Approved or Disapproved and we have not re-assigned the Debt to you;

You will ensure that your debt turn does not exceed the Agreed Debt Turn Target (the average number of days within which your Customers must pay Debts as agreed between us in writing) at any time. We may reduce the Initial Payment if your debt turn exceeds the Agreed Debt Turn Target.

We may give such notice of Invoice Discounting on your behalf and at your expense.
6.10 Following the termination of your agency (i) we shall have the sole right to collect all Debts and to enforce payment thereof in such manner and to such extent as we shall in our absolute discretion decide and to institute, defend or compromise in our name or your name and on such terms as we think fit any proceedings brought by or against us in relation to any Debt. You will assist our collection efforts as we so request but will not attempt to collect any outstanding Debt or interfere with our collection of the same; and (ii) you shall pay to us a collection fee equal to 10% of the gross invoice value of all outstanding Debts at the date we cancel your agency and on all Debts coming into existence at any future time.
6.11 You will not, under any circumstances, bank monies or otherwise endorse or negotiate any negotiable instruments howsoever received by you in respect of Debts for your own account but will immediately forward such monies and negotiable instruments to us and will hold such in trust for us until received by us.
6.12 If a Customer makes a general payment either to us or to you without any allocation of that payment we will appropriate it firstly against Debts, secondly against the discharge of your financial liability to us (if any) arising from obligations incurred under this Agreement and any balance as you wish. In any case in which Approved Debts and Disapproved Debts may be owing by the same Customer we shall be entitled, whether or not any appropriation has been made by the Customer, to appropriate any payment or other benefit received in discharge or on account of Debts owing by such Customer, and any credit or allowance granted by you to the Customer, in discharge of or on account of any Approved Debt in priority to any Disapproved Debt.

7 Returns
If any goods the subject of an Invoice are returned or refused by a Customer you will set those goods aside from your own, mark them with our name as owner and hold them to our account until they are subsequently resold by you as our agent or we are paid all sums due to us under this Agreement.
8 Accounts and Set-Off
8.1 We will keep accounts to record these transactions, and may at any time without notice to you combine, consolidate or merge any accounts and liabilities to us and set-off any amount due to us from you (including as a customer of any of our clients) against any amount due to you from us in these accounts whether or not the amounts arise from this Agreement.
