Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of all content, products, and professional services made available through the website operated by Odfjell Technology (UK) LTD. (trading as Odfjell Technology) (the “Service”) (“us”, “we”, or “our”).
Your access to our services is subject to your acceptance, without modification, of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules and policies published and that may be published from time to time by us.
1. Services and Payment
Scope of Services: We agree to provide engineering, technology, and related professional services as described in a separate Statement of Work, master services agreement, purchase order, or other written contract (collectively, the “Agreement”), including deliverables, acceptance criteria, HSE requirements, milestones, and reporting obligations.
Payment Terms: The Client agrees to pay for services as outlined in the Agreement. Retainer or milestone invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing. Late payment may result in suspension of work, withholding of deliverables, or termination in accordance with the Agreement.
2. Intellectual Property
The Agreement does not transfer from us to you any of our or third party intellectual property, and all right, title, and interest in and to such property will remain (as between the parties) solely with Odfjell Technology (UK) LTD. and its licensors. Software frameworks, methodologies, reusable libraries, templates, and generic tooling developed or used by us remain our background IP unless expressly assigned in writing. Client-provided data, specifications, and pre-existing materials remain the property of the Client.
3. Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to provide timely access to information, data, drawings, site access (where applicable), IT interfaces, and competent personnel required for us to perform the services. The Client is responsible for the accuracy and legality of all supplied materials, for obtaining any third-party consents, and for maintaining safe systems of work on its sites and assets.
4. Termination
Unless the Agreement specifies otherwise, either party may terminate with reasonable written notice. We may suspend or terminate access to the Service or specific workstreams where there is non-payment, material breach, or an unacceptable HSE or security risk. Upon termination, the Client remains responsible for fees for work properly performed up to the effective date and for any agreed wind-down or demobilisation activities.
All provisions of the Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
Our Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”. Odfjell Technology (UK) LTD. and its suppliers and licensors disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except where such disclaimers are prohibited by law. Professional services depend on Client inputs, site conditions, third-party equipment, and regulatory change; we do not guarantee specific production outcomes, uptime figures, or regulatory approvals unless expressly warranted in the Agreement.
You understand that you download from, or otherwise obtain content or services through, our Services at your own discretion and risk.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Odfjell Technology (UK) LTD., or its suppliers or licensors, be liable with respect to any subject matter of this agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability, or other legal or equitable theory for: (i) any special, incidental, or consequential damages; (ii) the cost of procurement for substitute products or services; or (iii) interruption of use, loss of production, or corruption of data, except as expressly stated in the Agreement.
7. Jurisdiction and Applicable Law
Except to the extent any mandatory law provides otherwise, the Agreement and any access to or use of our Services will be governed by the laws of Scotland, and the courts of Scotland shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any forum the parties may agree in the Agreement.
