and trained to provide the Services.
44. The Client agrees to cooperate with the replacement and provide necessary access to

previous service provider, the Client acknowledges that the Contractor is not responsible
for the redundancy, settlement, or any related costs associated with any of the
employees of the previous contracting company which were engaged to provide any
cleaning services. The transfer of employees in this scenario is akin to an acquisition of
staff from the previous contracting company and the Contractor shall not be liable for any
costs or obligations related to the previous employment arrangement.
