CCIC ’s General Service Terms
1. The applicant (hereinafter referred to as the “Client”) applies to CCIC (China Certification & Inspection Group Co., Ltd.) domestic and overseas Companies (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) for relevant services on a voluntary basis. By receiving and using this certificate, the applicant shall be deemed to have accepted all the contents set forth in this Clause.
2.1 Inspection Certificates and/or Reports are issued by the Company with reasonable care and appropriate skill on the basis of relevant documents, and where and when applicable, samples provided by the Client and in accordance with Client’s specific instructions. Inspection Certificates and/or Reports will reflect the facts as recorded by the Company at the time and site location of inspection. For the same commodity, different inspection results issued by the Company or other inspection companies at different time, location or using different inspection methods, technology or instruments, does not in any circumstances whatsoever constitute any legal excuse or reason for lodging a claim against the Company.
2.2 In case the Client requests the Company to perform the services using specific testing methods or technology, the Client shall expressly inform these requirements to the CCIC’s company. After the Company performs any test(s), inspection and/or surveying and issues Inspection certificates and/or reports using inspection methods or technology specifically requested by the Client, the Client shall not lodge any claim based on different results obtained by using other testing methods or technology.
2.3. The issuing of Inspection Certificates and/or reports by the Company does not release the Client from any rights, interests and/or obligations stipulated in the relevant contract. The Company is not subject to or bound by any opposing stipulations.
2.4 Inspection certificates and/or reports issued by the Company, according to samples provided by the Client, do not express any conclusion of the Company upon the lot from which the samples were drawn. The Client shall otherwise inform the Company in advance expressly for the arrangement of sampling the whole lot if necessary.
2.5 Should the Client request the Company to witnesses any third party intervention, the Client agrees that the Company's sole responsibility is to be present at the time of the third party's intervention and to forward the results, or confirm the process of events occurring, for such an intervention. The Client agrees that the Company is not responsible for the calibration or accuracy of instruments and measuring devices used, the analysis methods applied nor the qualifications of third party personnel and/or their analysis results.
3.1 The Company is only liable for inspection results that are seriously inconsistent with the facts. If the applicant requires CCIC's local companies to compensate for its direct losses due to the seriously inaccurate inspection results in the certificate, no matter how much the applicant's losses are, the total amount of compensation payable by CCIC's local companies shall not exceed three times of the inspection fee or commission in any case. The Company shall have no liability for any indirect or consequential loss including any loss of expected profits in the contract with the third party, loss of future business and clients or loss of production and non-fulfillment of contract. As where and when several part-payment of inspection fees or commissions are involved, the fees or commission are to be calculated separately in compensating the Client for those inspection results seriously inconsistent with the facts, i.e. only one or several items of inspection fees (not all the fees or commission due or paid to the Company) covering serious mistakes shall be calculated as the basis of compensation.
3.2 In the event of any claim due to serious mistakes in the Inspection certificates and/or reports of the Company, the Client must lodge the claim against the Company within 12 months from the date of contract-signing with the Company. The method of claim may include requesting the Company directly for compensation, suing at a court of law or applying for arbitration. The Company shall be discharged from all liability for claims lodged out-side of the stipulated period.

4.2 The Client will ensure that sufficient information, instructions and documents are given in due time to enable the required services to be performed.
