- (b) Unlawful conduct: If the Client is involved in, or the engagement would require participation in, any activity that is illegal under applicable law;
- (c) Safety threat: If the Service Provider determines, in their sole professional judgement, that the engagement poses an unreasonable risk to the physical safety or legal standing of the Service Provider;
- (d) Non-payment: If the balance due under Clause 2.2 is not received within the stipulated timeframe;
- (e) Hostile or abusive conduct: If the Client behaves in a threatening, abusive, or unreasonably hostile manner toward the Service Provider;
- (f) Misrepresentation of scope: If the actual nature of the engagement materially differs from what was described at the time of booking.
