The Terms and Conditions for Survey Support Services have been developed by the Offshore Survey Division of IMCA, based on the principles set out in IMCA S 001 - Offshore Survey Contracting Principles - published in April 1999.

They have been prepared for use by IMCA members in particular, but not exclusively, in the situation where the client entity contracting for and that providing such services are both members of the Association.

They have been prepared in accordance with English law. If other governing law is being used, certain of the clauses may need to be amended to take into account the change in governing law.

They are not binding. Each IMCA member is free to enter into whatever contracts it deems to be in its own interests.

The document is completed by adding the following contract-specific appendices:

• Scope of services
• Compensation schedule
• Proximate third party facilities
