ITIC's Standard Terms & Conditions for surveyors & consultants

Almost all cargo transported throughout the world is carried according to some form of contractual conditions. Ship owners, freight forwarders and others carry on their businesses protected by their trading conditions. It is perhaps surprising therefore that surveyors and consultants, who deal with the same ships and cargoes, seldom take steps to obtain the same benefits.

Following consultation with a number of industry bodies, we have produced "ITIC's Standard Terms for Surveyors and Consultants," a set of draft clauses for members to consider using in their own trading conditions.

These terms and conditions are published for the general interest of members of ITIC. The specific requirements of individual businesses vary and accordingly no responsibility can be taken for the suitability of these terms and conditions to a specific business. As with all contractual terms it is important that the user ensures that they are properly incorporated in their dealings with other parties. Members should seek the advice of their usual legal advisor prior to using such terms and conditions.
