Every order placed by Customer (“Order”) is subject to acceptance by Canrig and acceptance is expressly limited to the terms and conditions of the Quotation and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”).
-
Notwithstanding any oral or written statement made by Customer, Canrig’s acceptance of a purchase order, order confirmation or any other document or electronic transmittal issued by Customer does not constitute acceptance of Customer’s terms, conditions, or provisions, and if such acceptance is found to be an acceptance of an offer, Canrig’s acceptance is expressly made conditional on acceptance by Customer of the terms and conditions in these Terms. If Canrig’s Quotation, order acknowledgement, invoice, or other document or electronic transmittal is found to be an offer, Customer’s acceptance of the offer is limited to the terms and conditions in these Terms. It is expressly understood and agreed Customer’s terms and conditions are not a part of this Agreement, or any contract between Customer and Canrig, and Canrig does not accept, and expressly objects to, any such terms, conditions, or provisions. No Order shall be binding on Canrig until accepted in writing by an authorized officer of Canrig. Canrig is not obligated to accept any Order from Customer.
-
Pricing and Payment.

Customer shall pay Canrig for the Work, including any applicable rental fee for Rental Equipment (“Rental Fee”) or applicable Performance Tools License fee (“Performance Tools Fee”), at the rates as specified in the Quotation, or if no rates are specified, at Canrig’s then-current standard rate (all collectively, “Fees”). Customer is obligated to pay to Canrig the Fees for Work rendered regardless of whether or not Customer’s desired results are achieved. Notwithstanding anything in any Quotation or Agreement, each of the Rental Fee and/or Performance Tools Fee (as applicable) shall accrue from the date of delivery through the date of return receipt in good condition, in the case of Rental Equipment, or deactivation, in the case of Performance Tools, by Canrig.

Invoices are payable in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise specified in the invoice, free of exchange, collection, or other charges. Any amount not paid when due shall accrue interest until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of either one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permissible by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Canrig’s performance of Work is subject to Canrig’s prior credit approval of Customer, which approval may be modified or withdrawn by Canrig at any time prior to or following acceptance of any Order.

Any and all carbon credits arising out of Canrig or any Canrig affiliate’s execution of the Work shall be owned by Canrig or the applicable Canrig affiliate.
-

-
Customer grants Canrig a security interest in all Equipment for which title has passed to Customer (including all after-acquired Equipment) and all proceeds of Equipment (including, but not limited to, all products into which Equipment is incorporated and any funds and products Customer receives in exchange for Equipment) to secure Customer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Customer consents to Canrig’s execution of any documents to evidence and perfect this security interest, and agrees to execute the same if requested by Canrig. In addition, Canrig reserves the right, prior to making any shipment, to require from Customer any other additional security for the performance of Customer’s obligations, in a form determined by Canrig.

-
Agreed delivery dates are approximate and are subject to change by Canrig.

Canrig’s recommendations and predictions are opinions only and do not constitute any guarantee or certainty, due to: the impracticability of obtaining first-hand knowledge of numerous variable factors; the reliance on inferences, measurements, and assumptions which are not infallible; and/or the necessity of relying on facts and/or supporting oilfield services furnished by others.

Discloser agrees Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to its affiliates and their respective employees, directors, and officers (collectively, “Representatives”), but only for the purpose of facilitating Recipient’s performance under this Agreement, and only if each internal recipient of such information is informed of and agrees to comply with the use and disclosure prohibitions contained in this Section X. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient shall remain responsible for any breach of the terms of this Agreement as a result of a disclosure by its Representatives.
-
All written data delivered by Discloser to Recipient pursuant to this Agreement shall be and remain the property of Discloser, and all such written data, and all copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to Discloser upon written request, or destroyed at Discloser's option. Each of Canrig and Customer agree monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Recipient and Discloser shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach, without requirement of posting bond. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
