WB Limited will not, without prior agreement, provide such services
for shorter periods or for part only of the yearly billing period.
A termination fee shall be payable by the Client to WB Limited
upon the Services no longer being required whether this be due to liquidation

of a company or trust or otherwise. The fee payable shall be US$1,000
in respect of each company or trust established in the country for which
WB Limited quote fees in US Dollars or £600 in respect of each
