Natureofpenaltyclausein contract
If the documents are not submitted or confirmed by UIL staff according to the deliverables and timeframe stated in this TOR, payments may be withheld. UNESCO reserves the right to withhold all or a portion of payment if performance is unsatisfactory, if work output is incomplete or not delivered, or if deadlines are not met.
Additionalregulations
UIL’s guidelines on style and referencing should be followed, with especially careful attention paid to grammar, spelling, punctuation, abbreviations, and country names. The final drafts and reports should be submitted at a publishable standard.
The writer(s) should prioritise clarity of expression and a style of writing accessible to a broad readership (policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders in the field of ALE). Abbreviations may be used, but these should be spelled out when used for the first time and be accompanied by a table of abbreviations. Footnotes should be avoided.
Particular attention is drawn to the following:
- Consistency of style, terminology, editing and presentation;
- Document structure and hierarchy (headings, sub-headings, numbers);
- Consistency of bibliography with references in the text; and
- List of abbreviations

UNESCO will be free to adapt and modify, reproduce, or otherwise use the materials produced by the Consultant in any form or language in the future.
