GENERAL CONDITIONS
Definitions:
"Rules" in these General Conditions means the documents below
issued by the Society:
- Rules for the Classification of Ships or other special units;
- Complementary Rules containing the requirements for product,
plant, system and other certification or containing the require-
ments for the assignment of additional class notations;
- Rules for the application of statutory rules, containing the rules to
perform the duties delegated by Administrations;
- Guides to carry out particular activities connected with Services;
- Any other technical document, as for example rule variations or
interpretations.
“Services” means the activities described in Article 1 below, ren-
dered by the Society upon request made by or on behalf of the
Interested Party.
“Society” or “RINA” means RINA Services S.p.A. and/or all the
companies in the RINA Group which provide the Services.
“Surveyor” means technical staff acting on behalf of the Society in
performing the Services.
“Interested Party” means the party, other than the Society, having
an interest in or responsibility for the Ship, product, plant or sys-
tem subject to classification or certification (such as the owner of
the Ship and his representatives, the ship builder, the engine
builder or the supplier of parts to be tested) who requests the Ser-
vices or on whose behalf the Services are requested.
“Owner” means the registered Owner, the ship Owner, the man-
ager or any other party with the responsibility, legally or contractu-
ally, to keep the ship seaworthy or in service, having particular
regard to the provisions relating to the maintenance of class laid
down in Part A, Chapter 2 of the Rules for the Classification of
Ships or in the corresponding rules indicated in the specific Rules.
“Administration” means the Government of the State whose flag
the Ship is entitled to fly or under whose authority the Ship is
authorised to operate in the specific case.
"Ship" means ships, boats, craft and other special units, as for
example offshore structures, floating units and underwater craft.
Article 1
1.1. - The purpose of the Society is, among others, the classifica-
tion and certification of ships and the certification of their parts
and components.
The Society:
- sets forth and develops Rules;
- publishes the Register of Ships;
- issues certificates, statements and reports based on its survey
activities.
1.2. - The Society also takes part in the implementation of national
and international rules and standards as delegated by various Gov-
ernments.
1.3. – The Society carries out technical assistance activities on
request and provides special services outside the scope of classifi-
cation, which are regulated by these general conditions, unless
expressly excluded in the particular contract.
Article 2
2.1. - The Rules developed by the Society reflect the level of its
technical knowledge at the time they are published. Therefore, the
Society, though committed, also through its research and develop-
ment services, to continuous updating, does not guarantee they
meet state-of-the-art science and technology at the time of publi-
cation or that they meet the Society's or others' subsequent techni-
cal developments.
2.2. - The Interested Party is required to know the Rules on the
basis of which the Services are provided. With particular reference
to Classification Services, special attention is to be given to the
Rules concerning class suspension, withdrawal and reinstatement.
In case of doubt or inaccuracy, the Interested Party is to promptly
contact the Society for clarification.
The Rules for Classification of Ships are published on the Society's
website: www.rina.org.
2.3. - The Society exercises due care and skill:
- in the selection of its Surveyors
- in the performance of its Services, taking into account the level of
its technical knowledge at the time the Services are performed.
2.4. - Surveys conducted by the Society include, but are not lim-
ited to, visual inspection and non-destructive testing. Unless other-
wise required, surveys are conducted through sampling
techniques and do not consist of comprehensive verification or
monitoring of the Ship or of the items subject to certification. The
surveys and checks made by the Society on board ship do not nec-
essarily require the constant and continuous presence of the Sur-
veyor. The Society may also commission laboratory testing,
underwater inspection and other checks carried out by and under
the responsibility of qualified service suppliers. Survey practices
and procedures are selected by the Society based on its experi-
ence and knowledge and according to generally accepted techni-
cal standards in the sector.
Article 3
3.1. - The class assigned to a Ship, like the reports, statements, cer-
tificates or any other document or information issued by the Soci-
ety, reflects the opinion of the Society concerning compliance, at
the time the Service is provided, of the Ship or product subject to
certification, with the applicable Rules (given the intended use and
within the relevant time frame).
The Society is under no obligation to make statements or provide
information about elements or facts which are not part of the spe-
cific scope of the Service requested by the Interested Party or on its
behalf.
3.2. - No report, statement, notation on a plan, review, Certificate
of Classification, document or information issued or given as part
of the Services provided by the Society shall have any legal effect
or implication other than a representation that, on the basis of the
checks made by the Society, the Ship, structure, materials, equip-
ment, machinery or any other item covered by such document or
information meet the Rules. Any such document is issued solely
for the use of the Society, its committees and clients or other duly
authorised bodies and for no other purpose. Therefore, the Society
cannot be held liable for any act made or document issued by
other parties on the basis of the statements or information given by
the Society. The validity, application, meaning and interpretation
of a Certificate of Classification, or any other document or infor-
mation issued by the Society in connection with its Services, is
governed by the Rules of the Society, which is the sole subject
entitled to make such interpretation. Any disagreement on techni-
cal matters between the Interested Party and the Surveyor in the
carrying out of his functions shall be raised in writing as soon as
possible with the Society, which will settle any divergence of opin-
ion or dispute.
3.3. - The classification of a Ship, or the issuance of a certificate or
other document connected with classification or certification and
in general with the performance of Services by the Society shall
have the validity conferred upon it by the Rules of the Society at
the time of the assignment of class or issuance of the certificate; in
no case shall it amount to a statement or warranty of seaworthi-
ness, structural integrity, quality or fitness for a particular purpose
or service of any Ship, structure, material, equipment or machin-
ery inspected or tested by the Society.
3.4. - Any document issued by the Society in relation to its activi-
ties reflects the condition of the Ship or the subject of certification
or other activity at the time of the check.
3.5. - The Rules, surveys and activities performed by the Society,
reports, certificates and other documents issued by the Society are
in no way intended to replace the duties and responsibilities of
other parties such as Governments, designers, ship builders, man-
ufacturers, repairers, suppliers, contractors or sub-contractors,
Owners, operators, charterers, underwriters, sellers or intended
buyers of a Ship or other product or system surveyed.
These documents and activities do not relieve such parties from
any fulfilment, warranty, responsibility, duty or obligation (also of a
contractual nature) expressed or implied or in any case incumbent
on them, nor do they confer on such parties any right, claim or
cause of action against the Society. With particular regard to the
duties of the ship Owner, the Services undertaken by the Society
do not relieve the Owner of his duty to ensure proper maintenance
of the Ship and ensure seaworthiness at all times. Likewise, the
Rules, surveys performed, reports, certificates and other docu-
ments issued by the Society are intended neither to guarantee the
buyers of the Ship, its components or any other surveyed or certi-
fied item, nor to relieve the seller of the duties arising out of the
law or the contract, regarding the quality, commercial value or
characteristics of the item which is the subject of transaction.
In no case, therefore, shall the Society assume the obligations
incumbent upon the above-mentioned parties, even when it is
consulted in connection with matters not covered by its Rules or
other documents.
In consideration of the above, the Interested Party undertakes to
relieve and hold harmless the Society from any third party claim,
as well as from any liability in relation to the latter concerning the
Services rendered.
Insofar as they are not expressly provided for in these General
Conditions, the duties and responsibilities of the Owner and Inter-
ested Parties with respect to the services rendered by the Society
are described in the Rules applicable to the specific Service ren-
dered.
Article 4
4.1. – Any request for the Society's Services shall be submitted in
writing and signed by or on behalf of the Interested Party. Such a
request will be considered irrevocable as soon as received by the
Society and shall entail acceptance by the applicant of all relevant
requirements of the Rules, including these General Conditions.
Upon acceptance of the written request by the Society, a contract
between the Society and the Interested Party is entered into, which
is regulated by the present General Conditions.
4.2. – In consideration of the Services rendered by the Society, the
Interested Party and the person requesting the service shall be
jointly liable for the payment of the relevant fees, even if the ser-
vice is not concluded for any cause not pertaining to the Society.
In the latter case, the Society shall not be held liable for non-fulfil-
ment or partial fulfilment of the Services requested. In the event of
late payment, interest at the legal current rate increased by 2%
may be demanded.
4.3. - The contract for the classification of a Ship or for other Ser-
vices may be terminated and any certificates revoked at the
request of one of the parties, subject to at least 30 days' notice to
be given in writing. Failure to pay, even in part, the fees due for
Services carried out by the Society will entitle the Society to imme-
diately terminate the contract and suspend the Services.
For every termination of the contract, the fees for the activities per-
formed until the time of the termination shall be owed to the Soci-
ety as well as the expenses incurred in view of activities already
programmed; this is without prejudice to the right to compensa-
tion due to the Society as a consequence of the termination.
With particular reference to Ship classification and certification,
unless decided otherwise by the Society, termination of the con-
tract implies that the assignment of class to a Ship is withheld or, if
already assigned, that it is suspended or withdrawn; any statutory
certificates issued by the Society will be withdrawn in those cases
where provided for by agreements between the Society and the
flag State.
Article 5
5.1. - In providing the Services, as well as other correlated infor-
mation or advice, the Society, its Surveyors, servants or agents
operate with due diligence for the proper execution of the activity.
However, considering the nature of the activities performed (see
art. 2.4), it is not possible to guarantee absolute accuracy, correct-
ness and completeness of any information or advice supplied.
Express and implied warranties are specifically disclaimed.
Therefore, except as provided for in paragraph 5.2 below, and also
in the case of activities carried out by delegation of Governments,
neither the Society nor any of its Surveyors will be liable for any
loss, damage or expense of whatever nature sustained by any per-
son, in tort or in contract, derived from carrying out the Services.
5.2. – Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph 5.1 above,
should any user of the Society's Services prove that he has suffered
a loss or damage due to any negligent act or omission of the Soci-
ety, its Surveyors, servants or agents, then the Society will pay
compensation to such person for his proved loss, up to, but not
exceeding, five times the amount of the fees charged for the spe-
cific services, information or opinions from which the loss or dam-
age derives or, if no fee has been charged, a maximum of one
hundred thousand Euro. Where the fees charged are related to a
number of Services, the amount of the fees will be apportioned for
the purpose of the calculation of the maximum compensation, by
reference to the estimated time involved in the performance of the
Service from which the damage or loss derives. Any liability for
indirect or consequential loss, damage or expense is specifically
excluded. In any case, irrespective of the amount of the fees
charged, the maximum damages payable by the Society will not
be more than 1 million Euro. Payment of compensation under this
paragraph will not entail any admission of responsibility and/or
liability by the Society and will be made without prejudice to the
disclaimer clause contained in paragraph 5.1 above.
5.3. - Any claim for loss or damage of whatever nature by virtue of
the provisions set forth herein shall be made to the Society in writ-
ing, within the shorter of the following periods: THREE MONTHS
from the date on which the Services were performed or THREE
MONTHS from the date on which the damage was discovered.
Failure to comply with the above deadline will constitute an abso-
lute bar to the pursuit of such a claim against the Society.
Article 6
6.1. - Any dispute arising from or in connection with the Rules or
with the Services of the Society, including any issues concerning
responsibility, liability or limitations of liability of the Society, will
be determined in accordance with Italian Law and settled through
arbitration assigned to a board of three arbitrators who will pro-
ceed in compliance with the Rules of the Chamber of National
and International Arbitration of Milan. Arbitration will take place
in Genoa, Italy.
6.2. - However, for disputes concerning non-payment of the fees
and/or expenses due to the Society for services, the Society shall
have the right to submit any claim to the jurisdiction of the Courts
of the place where the registered or operating office of the Inter-
ested Party or of the applicant who requested the Service is
located.
In the case of actions taken against the Society by a third party
before a public Court, the Society shall also have the right to sum-
mon the Interested Party or the subject who requested the Service
before that Court, in order to be relieved and held harmless
according to art. 3.5 above.
Article 7
7.1. - All plans, specifications, documents and information pro-
vided by, issued by, or made known to the Society, in connection
with the performance of its Services, will be treated as confidential
and will not be made available to any other party other than the
Owner without authorisation of the Interested Party, except as pro-
vided for or required by any applicable international, European or
domestic legislation, Charter or other IACS resolutions, or order
from a competent authority. Information about the status and
validity of class and statutory certificates, including transfers,
changes, suspensions, withdrawals of class, recommendations/
conditions of class, operating conditions or restrictions issued
against classed ships and other related information, as may be
required, may be published on the website or released by other
means, without the prior consent of the Interested Party.
Information about the status and validity of other certificates and
statements may also be published on the website or released by
other means, without the prior consent of the Interested Party.
7.2. - Notwithstanding the general duty of confidentiality owed by
the Society to its clients in clause 7.1 above, the Society's clients
hereby accept that the Society will participate in the IACS Early
Warning System which requires each Classification Society to pro-
vide other involved Classification Societies with relevant technical
information on serious hull structural and engineering systems fail-
ures, as defined in the IACS Early Warning System (but not includ-
ing any drawings relating to the ship which may be the specific
property of another party), to enable such useful information to be
shared and used to facilitate the proper working of the IACS Early
Warning System. The Society will provide its clients with written
details of such information sent to the involved Classification
Societies.
7.3. - In the event of transfer of class, addition of a second class or
withdrawal from a double/dual class, the Interested Party under-
takes to provide or to permit the Society to provide the other Clas-
sification Society with all building plans and drawings, certificates,
documents and information relevant to the classed unit, including
its history file, as the other Classification Society may require for
the purpose of classification in compliance with the applicable
legislation and relative IACS Procedure. It is the Owner's duty to
ensure that, whenever required, the consent of the builder is
obtained with regard to the provision of plans and drawings to the
new Society, either by way of appropriate stipulation in the build-
ing contract or by other agreement.
In the event that the ownership of the ship, product or system sub-
ject to certification is transferred to a new subject, the latter shall
have the right to access all pertinent drawings, specifications, doc-
uments or information issued by the Society or which has come to
the knowledge of the Society while carrying out its Services, even
if related to a period prior to transfer of ownership.
Pursuant and owing to Italian legislative decree 196/2003, the
Interested Party declares that it has read the information sheet con-
cerning the processing of personal data published on the society's
website and gives its consent to such processing, also for commer-
cial information purposes.
Article 8
8.1. – Should any part of these General Conditions be declared
invalid, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
8.2. - In the event of doubts concerning the interpretation of these
General Conditions, the Italian text will prevail.
Article 9
9.1. – When the Society provides its Services to a consumer - i.e. a
natural person who does not act within the scope of his business
or professional activity - the following provisions do not apply: art.
3.2. (as far as the Society is solely entitled to the interpretation of
the Rules); art. 4.2., (as far as the payment of the fees is also due
for services not concluded due to causes not attributable to the
Interested Party); art. 5.1. (as far as the exclusion of liability is con-
cerned); art. 5.2.; art. 5.3.; and art. 6.1. (as far as the jurisdiction
of a Board of Arbitrators based in Genoa is concerned).
