GENERAL COMMERCIAL TERMS
1. Application of These Terms
These General Commercial Terms establish the standard conditions under which Offshore Industrie may provide professional engineering, consulting, technical coordination, project support, work preparation, site support and related services.
These terms become contractually binding when they are referred to in a quotation, proposal, engagement letter, purchase-order confirmation, service agreement or written instruction to proceed, or when they are otherwise expressly accepted by the Client.
Publication on the website does not by itself create a contractual relationship with every website visitor. Where the parties sign a specific written agreement, that agreement shall take precedence over these terms in the event of a conflict.
Any general purchasing or supplier conditions issued by the Client shall apply only when expressly accepted in writing by Offshore Industrie.

2. Quotations and Acceptance
Unless otherwise stated, quotations remain valid for thirty calendar days from their date of issue. After expiry, Offshore Industrie may confirm the quotation, revise the rates or conditions, update availability or withdraw the offer.
Quotations are prepared using the project information available at the time. Where information is incomplete, inaccurate or subsequently changed, Offshore Industrie may revise the scope, programme, methodology, resources, assumptions or commercial conditions.
An agreement may be formed through written acceptance of a quotation, an accepted purchase order, a signed service agreement, an engagement letter, an email instruction to proceed or another written confirmation showing clear agreement between the parties.
Before commencing work, Offshore Industrie may request an official purchase order, confirmation of billing information, relevant project documentation, identification of the authorised Client representative, confirmation of access arrangements or an advance payment.

3. Scope of Services
The services shall be limited to the scope agreed in writing. The Client shall provide clear and timely information regarding the required activities, project location, programme, deliverables, specifications, working hours, reporting procedures, safety requirements, access arrangements and relevant project interfaces.
Activities outside the agreed scope may be treated as additional work. This includes additional meetings, site attendances, revised documents, repeated review cycles, translations, accelerated delivery, weekend or public-holiday work, night work, unexpected travel, standby and work arising from changed instructions, delayed decisions or incomplete information.
Where immediate action is reasonably necessary to protect safety, operational continuity or the Client’s legitimate interests, Offshore Industrie may undertake reasonable additional activities and inform the Client as soon as practicable.

4. Client Responsibilities
The Client shall provide the documents, information, decisions, instructions, approvals, access arrangements and cooperation reasonably required for performance of the services.
The Client is responsible for ensuring that supplied information is accurate, complete and current. Offshore Industrie may reasonably rely on information received from the Client, its representatives, contractors, consultants, designers, suppliers, manufacturers and vessel owners unless there is an obvious reason to question it.
The Client remains responsible for overall project control, formal design approval, statutory appointments, site safety management, permits, regulatory compliance, final commercial decisions and acceptance of deliverables.

5. Deliverables and Reviews
Technical documentation and other deliverables shall be prepared for the project and purpose identified in the agreed scope.
Draft documents are issued for coordination or review and shall not be considered final or approved for execution unless clearly identified as such.
The Client shall provide comments within the agreed review period or, where no period has been established, within a reasonable time. Comments should be clear and consolidated wherever reasonably possible.
Repeated reviews, conflicting instructions, new comments after previous approval or modifications resulting from changes in the Client’s requirements may be charged as additional work.
Deliverables may not be reused for another project, structure, vessel, location or operation without prior written agreement. They must not be modified, separated from their assumptions or presented out of context in a way that alters their technical meaning.

6. Professional Fees and Expenses
The applicable fees shall be those stated in the accepted quotation or agreement. Services may be charged according to daily rates, hourly rates, fixed prices, milestones, retainers or another agreed method.
Unless expressly included, prices exclude VAT, travel, accommodation, meals, parking, tolls, ferries, flights, rental vehicles, specialist equipment, project-specific protective equipment, visas, permits, medical examinations, Client-requested training, courier costs and third-party expenses.
Reasonable travel and project expenses shall be reimbursed by the Client unless expressly included in the agreed rate. Where bookings have been made for an agreed assignment and the Client cancels or postpones the work, non-refundable and reasonably committed costs remain payable.

7. Working Time and Records
Where services are charged according to time, chargeable time may include project work, site attendance, meetings, preparation, reporting, document review, coordination, mobilisation, demobilisation and agreed travel time.
Timesheets, daily reports, meeting records, emails, calendar records, document histories and site-access records may be used as reasonable evidence of the work performed.
The Client shall review submitted time records promptly. A specific objection should identify the disputed date, time or activity and the reason for the objection. General statements that records are awaiting approval shall not in themselves invalidate properly documented services.

8. Invoicing
Invoices may be issued monthly, upon completion of a milestone, following completion of the services or according to another agreed invoicing schedule.
The Client is responsible for providing accurate invoicing information, including its legal name, billing address, tax number, purchase-order reference, project code, cost code and accounts-payable contact details.
An internal Client requirement that was not communicated before the services were performed shall not justify delaying payment. The absence or late issue of a purchase order shall not remove the obligation to pay for services that were properly instructed and completed.

9. Payment Terms
Unless a different period is expressly agreed in writing, all invoices shall be payable within fourteen calendar days following receipt of the valid invoice.
Payment shall be made in full and without unauthorised deduction, retention, set-off, withholding or counterclaim. Any legally required tax withholding must be properly documented and supported by the relevant official certificate.
Payment shall be considered completed only when the full amount has been received as cleared funds in the bank account stated on the invoice.

10. Invoice Disputes
Any objection to an invoice must be submitted in writing within seven calendar days of receipt. The objection must identify the invoice, the amount disputed, the precise reason and the relevant contractual or factual basis.
A general statement that an invoice is under review, pending approval or awaiting a purchase order shall not constitute a properly substantiated dispute.
The undisputed part of an invoice remains payable within the original payment period. A dispute concerning one item does not entitle the Client to withhold unrelated amounts.

11. Late Payment and Recovery Costs
Failure to pay within the agreed period shall constitute late payment.
Where Spanish legislation governing late payment in commercial transactions applies, statutory commercial late-payment interest shall accrue in accordance with the rate legally applicable during the relevant period.
Offshore Industrie may also claim the fixed recovery compensation permitted by Spanish law and any additional reasonable and properly documented recovery costs exceeding that amount. Such costs may include certified notices, registered correspondence, burofax communications, debt-collection services, legal assistance, translations, notarial actions and court-related expenses where legally recoverable.
A reminder or formal demand shall not be interpreted as an extension of the original payment deadline or as a waiver of any interest or recovery rights already accrued.

12. Suspension for Non-Payment
Where an invoice remains overdue, Offshore Industrie may suspend all or part of the services after notifying the Client.
Suspension may include stopping ongoing work, declining additional meetings, withholding deliverables, suspending site attendance, refusing mobilisation, withdrawing personnel or postponing further revisions.
A suspension resulting from non-payment shall not constitute a breach by Offshore Industrie. The Client remains responsible for the overdue amounts, applicable interest, recovery costs, committed expenses, cancellation charges, standby and reasonable remobilisation costs.
The programme shall be extended by the period of suspension and any reasonable time required to reorganise resources and remobilise.
Repeated late payment may result in advance-payment requirements, shorter invoicing periods, weekly invoicing, payment before release of deliverables or another reasonable form of payment security.

13. Cancellation, Postponement and Standby
The Client shall provide reasonable written notice of cancellation or postponement.
Where agreed work is cancelled or delayed, Offshore Industrie may invoice work already completed, reserved professional time, non-refundable travel, accommodation, transport, third-party commitments and reasonable cancellation or administrative costs.
Where personnel are available and ready to perform the agreed services but cannot proceed for reasons outside the reasonable control of Offshore Industrie, the resulting time may be charged as standby.
This includes delays caused by Client instructions, unavailable permits, restricted access, vessel or crane delays, adverse weather, unavailable contractors, missing documentation, delayed decisions, safety restrictions not caused by Offshore Industrie or other project-interface issues.

14. Health, Safety and Site Conditions
Offshore Industrie shall comply with applicable site rules and reasonable safety requirements communicated by the Client.
The Client shall provide a safe working environment and adequate information regarding hazards, emergency arrangements, permit systems, inductions, personal protective equipment, marine transfers, security procedures and access restrictions.
Offshore Industrie may stop, suspend or refuse work where conditions are reasonably considered unsafe, unlawful or materially different from those previously described. A reasonable safety stoppage shall not constitute a contractual breach.
Where the unsafe condition or restriction is outside the responsibility of Offshore Industrie, resulting delay, additional attendance or standby may be charged.

15. Confidentiality and Intellectual Property
Information identified as confidential, or which should reasonably be understood to be confidential, shall be used only for performance of the agreed services and associated legal, administrative, accounting and insurance obligations.
The confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available without breach, lawfully known before disclosure, independently developed, lawfully received from another source or required to be disclosed by law or a competent authority.
Offshore Industrie retains ownership of its pre-existing templates, working methods, methodologies, standard formats, document structures, know-how and other intellectual property.
Following full payment of all relevant invoices, the Client receives the right to use the final deliverables for the project and purpose for which they were prepared. Editable files, internal calculations, working notes, drafts and reusable templates are not included unless expressly agreed.
No right to use an unpaid deliverable arises until the corresponding invoice has been settled in full.

16. Professional Responsibility and Liability
Services shall be performed with reasonable professional skill, care and diligence appropriate to the agreed scope.
No guarantee is provided that a project will achieve a particular financial result, obtain a permit, receive third-party approval, remain on programme or eliminate every technical or commercial risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability shall be limited to direct and reasonably foreseeable loss resulting from a proven breach of the agreed professional duties.
Offshore Industrie shall not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, production, opportunity, contract, revenue, financing or reputation, unless such exclusion is prohibited by law.
Where legally permitted and unless otherwise agreed, total aggregate liability connected with an assignment shall not exceed the net professional fees paid or payable for the specific services giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability resulting from fraud or wilful misconduct.

17. Force Majeure, Termination and Applicable Law
Neither party shall be liable for delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including extreme weather, natural disasters, war, civil unrest, governmental restrictions, industrial disputes, major transport disruption, port closure, vessel unavailability, utility failure, cyber incidents or failure of critical third-party infrastructure.
Offshore Industrie may suspend or terminate the services where the Client fails to pay an overdue invoice, commits a serious contractual breach, requests unlawful or unsafe action, creates an unacceptable professional risk, becomes insolvent or appears unable to meet its payment obligations.
Upon termination, the Client shall pay all outstanding fees, expenses, committed costs and properly performed work.
These terms and any agreement incorporating them shall be governed by Spanish law unless another governing law has been expressly agreed in writing. The parties shall first attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith commercial discussions, without preventing either party from pursuing debt recovery, urgent protection or other remedies available by law.
