Download T&Cs
Updated November 1st 2018.
(Your attention is drawn in particular to Conditions 4 and 14.)
This document sets out the terms and conditions ("Conditions") upon which CODE provides Membership Services to its Members and Consultancy Services and other Services to its Clients (i.e. Members and non-Members). Definitions used in these Conditions are set out in Appendix 1 below. Members should read these Conditions in conjunction with their Subscription Agreement, which sets out the Membership Services they have subscribed for and certain financial and other terms in relation to their membership. Clients should read these terms in conjunction with their agreement with CODE for the provision of the Consultancy Services and/or other Services.
1. SUBSCRIPTIONS
a. The Membership Services subscribed for by a Member (which will usually comprise a Membership Package) are as set out in the Member's Subscription Agreement and comprise the initial Subscribed Services. The content of each Membership Package, including a description of the Membership Services provided as part of such Membership Package, is set out in Part A of Appendix 2 to these Conditions and on the Websites.
b. The content of Membership Packages is subject to reasonable variation from time to time. Variations will be notified by changes to the packages on the Websites.
c. Subject to the Agreement, CODE hereby grants to the Member a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to permit its Authorised Users to use during the Subscription Term the Subscribed Services solely for the Member's internal business operations at the Member's Subscribed Practices.
d. The Member undertakes that the Member will not (and shall procure that its Authorised Users will not) allow or suffer the Member's Subscription (including relevant Membership Services, Documentation, Member Content and login details) to be used: at any Practice (or other business entity) other than the Member's Subscribed Practices; or by any person other than its Authorised Users.
e. The Member shall prevent any unauthorised access to, or use of, the Membership Services and/or the Documentation and/or the Member Content and/or the login details and, in the event of any such unauthorised access or use, shall promptly notify CODE.
f. If: (i) the Member's Subscription is used by the Member (or any Authorised User) in connection with any Practice (other than a Subscribed Practice or a Practice covered by the subscription of another Member) at any time; or (ii) a Member who subscribes for the iComply Application has a business relationship with or is connected to a Practice (other than a Subscribed Practice or a Practice covered by the subscription of another Member) at any time and Code determines that the Services provided to such Member also benefit the Member in relation to such Practice, then CODE shall at its sole discretion have the right to determine that such Practice is added to the Member's Subscription as a Subscribed Practice. Code shall notify its determination to the Member in writing. The Member shall be liable to pay a Joining Fee in respect of such Practice and Subscription Fees in respect of such Practice for the period from the date on which the Member's Subscription is used in connection with such Practice or on which such business relationship or connection arose (as relevant and in each case as determined by CODE acting reasonably) to the later of (i) 12 months from such date and (ii) the end of the Member's Subscription Period and, in either case, for any renewal of the Member's Subscription Period. The Joining Fee and Subscription Fee shall be at the Member's then prevailing rate. The Joining Fee shall be payable immediately on demand by CODE and the Subscription Fee shall be payable together with the Subscription Fees for the Member's other Subscribed Practices. This provision shall apply whatever the level of connection between the Member and the relevant Practice.
g. The rights provided under this clause are granted to the Member only.
h. If any non-Member (or non-Authorised User) uses Membership Services and / or accesses any of the Websites they shall be deemed, by such use and / or access, to accept these Conditions and to have subscribed as a Member for Subscribed Services (iComply Application Membership Package) in respect of any Practice(s) connected with them for a Subscription Period of 36 months (and subject to renewal in accordance with Condition 3) and accordingly shall be liable to pay a Joining Fee and Subscription Fees in respect of such Practice(s) at CODE's then prevailing rates. The Member whose Subscription is used for such access (other than in circumstances agreed by CODE as being outside the reasonable control of such Member) hereby guarantees the obligations of such non-Member under this clause. Such Member as principal obligor and as a separate and independent obligation and liability from its obligations and liabilities in the preceding sentence (and whether the guaranteed obligations are, or become, unenforceable, invalid or illegal or not) agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified CODE in full and on demand from and against all and any losses, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by CODE arising out of, or in connection with, any failure of the non-Member to perform or discharge its obligations under this clause.
2. ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS

Note 1: The contracts and the legally complex HR templates are approved by solicitors Rudlings Wakelam and are regularly reviewed and, if necessary, updated to ensure that they are up to date. When CODE completes these templates on behalf of a Total HR Member, it: populates missing provisions (such as pay, percentages charged to the self-employed person and the restricted area) in accordance with the Member's instructions; and removes clauses and sub-clauses that do not relate to the terms of the role, but otherwise the templates are unchanged. CODE is not qualified to nor does it provide any advice on the suitability of the templates to the Member's circumstances nor on the amendments to the templates the Member instructs it to make. If a Member wants to change aspects of the templates that are not meant to be changed, it will be necessary to instruct its own solicitor or ask CODE to quote for one of their chosen solicitors.
Note 2: Agreements and terms and conditions of employment are only created or reviewed once a year per Member. While CODE cannot produce contracts throughout the year as new team members join, it remains important that all new team members enter into an appropriate contract. During the interim period, the Member may use the modified templates already completed by CODE as well as CODE's standard templates for any new starter provided that, if a Member is in any doubt regarding the use of such templates, it is advised to seek professional help. If requested, CODE will look at contracts prepared by the Member at the next annual review, but any changes to such contracts will require the agreement of both contracting parties and it is therefore important that contracts are correct when entered into to.

(v) In sending your order to us you are accepting both our Terms of Business and the Order Conditions.
(vi) You may decide to make one or more orders though us at the same time.

(vii) A range of services may be provided under the CODEsafe trademark, which is licensed by Codeplan Ltd to a selected list of Service Providers who will provide the service to you as the disclosed principal.

You should seek to inform us of any incorrect information as soon as possible.
(iii) The order information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant Service Providers or other persons necessary for the provision of your products and/or services. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies.
(iv) You may be required to pay a deposit or make full payment for your order at the time of order.
Where you only pay a deposit or make no initial payment you must pay the full balance by the time of the service delivery points that are notified to you.

(i) We endeavour to ensure that the details of all products, including prices, displayed on our
websites are accurate. However, given the high volume of services and other products offered it is inevitable that, in exceptional cases, mistakes will arise.

(iii) Where inaccuracies relate to the understatement of the price of a specific product you will be offered either a full refund of money paid on that order only or the opportunity to maintain that order on receipt of the additional payment which is necessary or in the case of accommodation orders an additional option being an alternative order of equivalent or superior standard (in our absolute discretion).
f. Complaints:
(i) We pride ourselves on choosing Service Providers who deliver high standards of customer service but if you have any dissatisfaction regarding products and/or services they should be reported to the relevant Service Provider or their local supplier or agent immediately. If the Service Provider is unable to resolve your concern please contact the CODE customer services team who will try to assist you.
(ii) If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances.

iCOMPLY - OVERVIEW


Sentieri Italiani organizes an exciting trip to Italy each year — taking in destinations from the Alps to the sea. They may be centered on culinary experiences and wine tours to celebrating Carnival in Venice. The tours take travelers to the "hidden Italy," uncovering the small towns and villages that are located in the shadows of the big cities.
If you have spent any time traveling, you have probably experienced what Sentieri Italiani refers to as "Cultural Confusion." It could be that you lacked the basic survival language tools — how to say "I lost my tour group" or how to ask "where's the bathroom or how much does it cost?" You may have paid what you thought was five dollars for a cantaloupe, when in fact, because of an exchange rate you didn't quite understand, you actually paid twenty dollars — ouch!
Sentieri Italiani eliminates this type of "cultural confusion" altogether. We not only organize tours, we also provide cultural training prior to our travels.
Travel tour groups are kept small and intimate, with an average size of 20 to 25 people. As the groups are kept small, the tours can be customized to meet the interests of the individuals. With a native guide at hand, individuals experience Italy like a "local" and not as a tourist. Sentieri not only gives you what larger travel companies offer, we also provide last-minute optional additions that are only possible with a native guide — such as convincing a Sicilian fisherman to take the tour group out on the Mediterranean.
We offer all this, and at very reasonable costs.
Experience Carnevale in Venice with us in 2019!

'Prodigal son' Nii Noi can't be trusted again – Ishmael Ashitey
Nii Noi Nortey may find it difficult to regain the trust of the New Patriotic Party (NNP) in the event that his apology and plea for reconciliation is accepted by the party, that's according to NPP's Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Ishmael Ashitey.
Speaking on Eyewitness News, Ishmael Ashitey, said Mr. Nortey may struggle to reach the heights he did before his fall out with the party.
"When you do such a thing, you lose trust and now for the party to trust you to give you a sensitive position, it is going to be very difficult… for people to agree that he will hold an executive position, I think that will be a very difficult thing to do."
Mr. Nortey, a former Klottey Korle constituency chairman, contested and lost the Klottey Korle seat as an independent candidate in the 2016 polls after losing a contentious primary to Philip Addison.
After his loss in the primary, his supporters, incensed with the circumstances leading to the defeat, impressed on him to contest as an independent candidate, even though the national leadership pledged to calm tensions there and present a united front for the 20176 parliamentary elections.
Mr. Nortey, in his attempt to the bury the hatchet, has revealed that NPP stalwarts like the former President John Kufour, now-President Nana Akufo-Addo and now-vice President Mahamadu Bawumia spoke to him personally to back down but he refused.
Nii Noi has to re-apply to party
But now that Mr. Nortey wants a return to the party after an apology in the media to President Akufo-Addo, among others, Mr. Ashitey said, "if really he wants to come back, he would have to write to the party and then we will forward it to the disciplinary committee which will look at it and then advise the steering committee to take a decision."
Ishmael Ashitey
"What that means is that, you have sacked yourselves from the party. You are no longer a member and for that matter, he would have to write and apply to become a member. He would have to go through a very long process."
Mr. Ashitey did not present Mr. Nortey's situation as hopeless, noting that, "It is serious; but it does not mean that there is nothing that can be done about it. Maybe something can be done" he noted.

The original third-generation synthetic football field in the Netherlands was laid in 1996. Of course, there is a history leading up to this event. What are the origins of synthetic turf and what is the state of affairs now? What do players think about synthetic grass? This section will answer these questions, as we discuss the history and evolution of synthetic turf.
The problem of covered grass fields in stadiums was addressed for the first time in the Houston Astrodome (Houston, TX) in 1965. This stadium had a coverd baseball field of natural grass that needed to be kept nice and green. Natural grass needs sunlight to thrive, which was why the Astrodome had been built with a transparent roof, but the glinting of the sun on the roof impeded the players when catching fly balls. It was then decided to paint the roof to solve the problem but then the grass would not grow properly. Another solution had to be found.
Stadium owners and engineers decided to lay an artificial playing surface, the first of its kind. This was a grass carpet made from nylon fibers. The surface was first installed in the summer of 1966.
The synthetic grass carpet was introduced to Europe in 1970. This carpet was not made of nylon fibers but of a different synthetic fiber called polypropylene. Not only was this cheaper, it was also more comfortable. The advantage of polypropylene was that it was softer than nylon so the players had a smaller risk of injury. We now call these carpets with closely packed tufts (both nylon and polypropylene), first generation synthetic turf.
The second generation of synthetic grass was developed in the late 1970's. It had longer tufts that were spaced more widely apart. Sand was spread between the fibers to create sufficient firmness and stability for the players. Second generations synthetic turf pitches provided a flatter playing surface than natural grass, which gives better ball control and prevents balls from shooting off in unexpected directions. This was a great improvement, especially for field hockey. Acceptance of artificial grass for field hockey was slow in coming; artificial grass as a substitute for natural grass was still completely unknown. It was to take 10 years before the adoption process really got going. Today, there are few hockey clubs that do not have an artificial field. The second generation artificial synthetic turf is less suitable for soccer and football however. The playing characteristics and behavior of the ball on these fields is not comparable to natural grass, and sliding tackles can result in painful abrasion injuries from the sand. Nevertheless, some football clubs did try to play on these pitches in the 1980's. It was to take until 1996 before a surface was developed that was really suitable for soccer and football: the third generation.
After the arrival of the fields spread with sand, scientific and technological advances led to the third generation of turf. A third generation synthetic field is in a class of its own and cannot be compared with earlier generations. This grass has longer fibers (2 - 2 1/2") which are spaced even further apart in the backing. They are not usually made of polypropylene but with polyethylene, which is even softer and kinder to the skin. These fields can either be spread with different mixes of sand and rubber granules or just rubber granules. The combination of fiber and infill ensures a comfortable playing surface; even sliding tackles are no longer a problem on these fields. As there is plenty of space between the turf blades, cleats sink well into the surface much like the do with natural grass, which puts less stress on the players joints and also allows the foot to get under the ball. These developments have made third generation fields excellent for soccer.

Cadwalader has bolstered its white collar defense and investigations capabilities with the addition of former CFPB Senior Counsel Rachel Rodman and former U.S. Deputy Associate Attorney General Mark Grider. In addition, a market-leading litigation team from Boies Schiller – led by Nicholas Gravante and including Karen Dyer, Philip Iovieno and Lawrence Brandman – will be joining the firm.
Rachel joined earlier this year and has strengthened the firm's ability to counsel clients in connection with consumer-focused litigation, compliance and investigation matters. She focuses her practice on representing banks, specialty finance companies, and other financial services institutions in government investigations and litigation in trial and appellate courts. She joins us from Williams & Connolly.
Rachel served for four years at the CFPB, including two years as Senior Counsel in the Legal Division, where she represented the agency in federal district court and advised agency leadership, including the Director and General Counsel, on emerging issues under Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act. She then was an Enforcement Attorney in the Division of Supervision, Fair Lending and Enforcement, leading investigations of banks and nonbanks finance companies involving mortgage servicing, consumer reporting, overdraft practices and debt collection.
Mark, who joined the firm last week, has served across numerous administrations during his nearly 20 years in the federal government. He most recently served as a Deputy Associate Attorney General at the U.S. Justice Department, where his portfolio included criminal matters relating to the Antitrust Division, Civil Division, the Consumer Protection Branch, Environment and Natural Resources Division and the Tax Division.
He is a subject matter expert on the False Claims Act, healthcare fraud, the opioid crisis, and competition and consumer harm in the online marketplace. Mark liaised on policy initiatives relating to elder fraud and financial exploitation, criminal antitrust procurement collusion and COVID-19 pandemic issues.
Prior to this role, Mark served as Senior Associate Counsel and Special Assistant to the President in the Office of the White House Counsel, advising White House Counsel and senior administration officials on broad oversight and regulatory matters involving the White House, Health and Human Services, and federal agencies, contributing special expertise on health care regulatory and litigation matters and science and technology oversight and policy issues. Between early 2019 and September 2020, he assisted on Congressional oversight and investigations and coordinated responses to related litigation, FOIA requests, COVID-19 pandemic response matters, and Inspector General investigations.
Mark will lead Cadwalader's Crisis Management and Congressional Investigations Practice.
The addition of Nick, Karen, Phil and Larry further establishes the firm's reputation as a destination litigation practice.
Nick, the former managing partner at Boies Schiller, is widely known as one of the most formidable litigators in the country. He will lead the firm's Commercial Litigation practice. Nick's practice ranges from complex commercial cases to securities and antitrust litigation, as well as criminal cases, internal investigations and appeals. For two decades, he has consistently been honored as one of the country's top litigators who handles high-profile matters as well as highly-sensitive, confidential matters resolved behind the scenes.
Phil joins the firm as co-leader of the Antitrust Litigation practice, which he will lead along with my D.C. colleague Brian Wallach. Phil's practice focuses on representing plaintiffs and defendants in antitrust and other complex commercial litigation. He has litigated in federal and state courts throughout the country, including having led or co-led multiple jury trials through verdict. Phil also maintains an active traditional antitrust litigation practice, and has represented a number of leading corporations for many years.
Karen is a nationally-renowned trial lawyer, representing various Fortune 500 companies and other multimillion and multibillion dollar entities in all aspects of commercial litigation, including antitrust, civil RICO, securities and bankruptcy law.
Larry brings more than 35 years of experience in bankruptcy advisory and litigation matters. Prior to joining Boies Schiller, he served in various senior leadership roles at Lehman Brothers Holdings, Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse First Boston.

Seven Wonders around Fort Myers: Here's our landmark list - what's yours?
Amy Bennett Williams
It's been a decade since Tropicalia asked readers to name the Seven Wonders of Southwest Florida, and I think it may be time for a refresher.
Last go-'round, we were spurred by an online effort to update the storied Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
They're the ones many of us learned as kids: the Temple of Zeus at Olympia; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; the Colossus of Rhodes; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the Pharos of Alexandria and the Pyramids of Giza — the only wonder that still remains.
But, as we were then, we're all about Southwest Florida, so I wanted to spotlight the wonders in our own little piece of paradise.
New podcast series takes a look at — well, a listen to — Florida's wild side
As I puzzled over how to go about it, to my delight, I got this e-mail from Tropicalia friend Jeff McCullers:
"OK, I'm sure you've heard all the silliness about the recent survey to name the new 'Seven wonders of the world.' What they came up with via the Web and cell phone messages isn't bad, exactly, but it's not perfect either.
"Anyway, here's what we need: THE SEVEN WONDERS OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA," he wrote. "You could do it yourself, or invite suggestions. Sounds like fun to me."
The dirty little secret about carambolas
Well, it sounded like fun to me too, so for a few weeks, we batted lists and suggestions around with readers, got calls, letters and emails.
In the end, because we at Tropicalia have always been creatures of excess (and also, consider the lavish source material) we came up with two lists. The first hewed to the spirit of the original Wonders of the Ancient World list by including only human creations. The second was of our abundant natural wonders, and we'll publish it next week.
Here's the first:
The Seven Man-made Wonders of Southwest Florida
1. The lighthouses on Sanibel and Gasparilla islands
2. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers
3. The Everglades Wonder Gardens in Bonita Springs
4. Mound Key in Estero
5. Downtown Matlacha
6. The old Federal Building in Fort Myers, now the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center
7. The Koreshan Unity in Estero
Now, I admit, these wonders are pretty timeless, and we may decide they should stand as is. But if you have any revision suggestions, please let me know.
You can email me at awilliams@news-press.com or comment on Tropicalia's Facebook page.


This weekend I went to 100% Design in the Van Nelle factory in Rotterdam to check out what's happening with interior design plus bit of networking. The building of the Van Nelle factory it self is one architectural art piece. Some features are well known like the uneven bridges from one building to the other.
Not everything is my taste of design however there were some very innovative designs there and not just contemporary design of furnitures. However for an interior design event they had allot of cars in and around the building.
First there was a Porsche Cayman parked outsite with a quite cool colorsheme which was place there because for Cayman for Kids. Second is the cowskin covered Mini Cooper next to a cowskinned chair, however it looks quite artistic I bet it's a hell of a job to clean. Third is a Fiat 500 not sure why it there but still it's quite an amazing design for a car. Last is the 100% Mini Cooper of the people who are working at 100%Design to take you to the offsite locations.
The first actual design you see when you walk on to the Van Nelle factory ground are these big rings which are called Zero where you could sit on to rest. And yeah it's quite a long walk from the entrance of this place to the actual entrance of the building.
The second thing was this unusual box. Actually I am not really sure what it should had been displaying in on those screens because I didn't found any on-button and all the screens were blacked out.
The first cool furniture I saw was this odd chair in a swirl like shape. It look quite unusual but very interesting. And that was it for now the rest of the picture of this event will be posted very soon so don't miss it, because I also met the girl who was posted big in the newspaper for this event.
