Terms & Conditions

01

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the SEES website and your engagement with our services. By accessing our website or entering into a service agreement with us, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

02

Our Services

SEES provides engineering and project management services including but not limited to:

• Project engineering — feasibility, design, analysis, and documentation
• Project management — planning, scheduling, budgeting, and quality control
• Engineering management — strategic planning, technical leadership, and compliance
• Maintenance management — preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies

The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for each engagement will be agreed upon in writing prior to commencement of work.

03

Client Engagements

All service engagements with SEES are subject to the following conditions:

• Scope of Work: Each project will be defined by a mutually agreed scope. Changes may affect timelines and costs and must be agreed upon in writing.
• Client Responsibilities: Clients must provide accurate information, timely feedback, and reasonable access to facilities or systems necessary for service delivery.
• Timelines: Estimated timelines are provided in good faith. Delays caused by factors outside our control, including client-side delays, will not constitute a breach by SEES.
• Warranties: We warrant that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care, consistent with industry standards.

04

Intellectual Property

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing:

• All intellectual property developed by SEES prior to or independently of a client engagement remains the sole property of SEES.
• Upon full payment, clients receive a licence to use the deliverables for the purposes outlined in the agreed scope of work.
• Client-provided materials remain the property of the client, and the client warrants they have the right to provide such materials.

05

Confidentiality

SEES treats all client information with the utmost confidentiality. We will not disclose proprietary business information, technical data, or project details to third parties without your consent, except where required by law.

Clients agree to keep confidential any proprietary methodologies, pricing, or technical approaches disclosed by SEES in the course of an engagement. This obligation survives the termination of any service agreement.

06

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SEES shall not be liable for:

• Indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from use of our services
• Loss of data, revenue, or business opportunities
• Damage resulting from client misuse of delivered solutions
• Delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control (force majeure)

Our total liability in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific service giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded under South African law.

07

Payment Terms

Payment terms will be specified in each project proposal or service agreement. General principles include:

• Invoices are due within the period stated on the invoice (typically 30 days from date of issue)
• A deposit may be required before commencement of work, as agreed per project
• Late payments may attract interest at the applicable statutory rate
• SEES reserves the right to suspend services where payment is overdue
• All prices are quoted in South African Rand (ZAR) and exclude VAT unless stated otherwise

08

Termination

Either party may terminate a service agreement by providing written notice as specified in the project agreement. In the event of termination:

• The client remains liable for payment of work completed up to the termination date
• SEES will deliver all completed work upon receipt of outstanding payment
• Where SEES terminates due to client breach, no refund of deposits shall be due

09

Disputes & Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. In the event of any dispute, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, the matter may be referred to mediation before formal legal proceedings. The courts of South Africa shall have exclusive jurisdiction over unresolved disputes.

10

Changes to These Terms

SEES reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
