these terms.

described on this website (the Order) by entering your details in the
form below, and additionally, in the event of an application to be
interviewed, by paying the application fee (in accordance with clauses
4 and 5) and submitting the relevant application forms within the
relevant deadlines (stated on the relevant website); but we
reserve the right to refuse to accept your Order. We may choose to

binding contract will be formed between us at the time of sending the
Acceptance.

fee and submission of completed application forms does not guarantee
that you will be interviewed, just that your application for an
interview will be considered.

tender submission fee does not mean that the tender will be accepted,
just that the tender will be considered.

publication is subject not only to these terms but also to any
conditions for advertisement which may appear in the publication in
question and on the publication's website. (For the terms and
