Terms & ConditionsLast updated: April 2026GeoSphere Enterprise Software Ltd

This is a framework agreement governing the overall relationship between Supplier and Customer. Specific projects are set out in Statements of Work, each incorporating these terms.

1.Structure of Agreement and Statements of Work

This is a framework agreement governing the overall relationship between Supplier and Customer. Specific projects are set out in Statements of Work (SOWs), each incorporating these terms.

A SOW becomes binding once signed by both parties or confirmed in writing.

Order of precedence

  • Special conditions agreed in writing
  • The executed SOW
  • This Agreement
  • Schedules and attachments

This Agreement takes precedence over any customer purchase order or other standard terms.

2.Hardware Procurement

Hardware must be purchased and installed at the site to access the Customer Dashboard.

Risk in hardware passes to Customer upon delivery; ownership passes on full payment.

The Supplier may substitute equivalent hardware where necessary without materially affecting performance.

The Customer is responsible for insuring hardware from point of delivery onwards.

3.Installation and Acceptance

The Supplier will install hardware and configure the system as described in the relevant SOW, carrying out installation tests and providing evidence of successful operation.

Acceptance is deemed when tests are passed, or if the Customer does not object within 10 working days.

The Customer must not interfere with hardware or systems except as authorised in writing.

Where services are delivered via a reseller or prime contractor, responsibilities relating to site access, facilities, and site conditions are the Customer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed in the SOW.

4.Customer Responsibilities

General access and environment

The Customer shall provide access, consents, and a suitable environment for installation.

The Customer must ensure the Supplier is provided access to each Site to perform a survey of suitability for provision and receipt of the System (a "Site Survey"). The Customer must ensure that Site conditions do not become materially worse or change materially following a Site Survey.

Temperature and humidity requirements. The Customer must keep the Site within a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C and humidity between 15% and 85%. If this is not possible, both parties will agree an alternative suitable location, which may incur extra cost.

Once installed, the Customer must not move, tamper with, or uninstall any part of the System except in an emergency. Any requested changes will be quoted by the Supplier and agreed in writing.

The Customer must ensure adequate wall space and power are available for installation.

Site facilities and access

The Customer must provide the Supplier with reasonable site facilities, including:

  • Access to toilets, drinking water, and basic welfare facilities
  • Parking or unloading space
  • Power for tools or lighting
  • A way to dispose of packaging

The Supplier may put up warning signs or barriers where needed. The Customer must ensure there is safe and adequate working space for installation.

The Customer must provide the Supplier with access to the Sites by prior agreement and with at least two weeks' notice, including for installation and any later maintenance or investigation visits. The Supplier must also be allowed access to boiler rooms, plant rooms, and related areas as needed to carry out installation work and, where required, temporarily power down connected systems.

Sites and relocation

The Customer must provide (or arrange) access for the Supplier and its subcontractors to each Site as needed to install, maintain, or remove the Hardware and System, at the Customer's cost.

If the Customer moves from a Site where the System is installed, the Customer will cover all relocation, decommissioning, and reinstallation costs.

The Customer is responsible for insuring the Site and any installed Hardware, and for ensuring all Sites meet health and safety laws. The Supplier must be made aware of any relevant site rules or policies.

Asbestos, gas and fire safety

Before installation begins, the Customer must ensure each Site has:

  • An up-to-date Asbestos Risk Register, available to the Supplier and its subcontractors on request
  • Working fire safety equipment, including alarms and extinguishers, maintained in line with service requirements
  • A functioning gas detection and alarm system in any area where CO₂ or NO₂ exposure is possible

The Customer must also provide accurate information about any health and safety risks at each Site before surveys or installation, and promptly inform the Supplier of any new or changed risks.

Third party service supply

Where the Customer is supplying the Supplier Services to a third party, the Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that all site access, health and safety, and environmental requirements are met.

5.Licence and Use of Customer Dashboard

The Supplier grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Customer Dashboard during the term, subject to payment of licence fees.

Restrictions

The Customer must not:

  • Allow unauthorised access
  • Copy, reverse engineer, or create derivative works
  • Disrupt or interfere with systems
  • Attempt penetration testing without written consent

End customer access

The Customer may permit its end customers to access and use the Customer Dashboard solely for the Customer's internal business purposes, provided that:

  • Such use is in connection with services supplied under a Statement of Work
  • The Customer remains fully responsible for all acts and omissions of such end customers
  • The Customer ensures that any such end customers comply with the terms of this Agreement as if they were the Customer
