All oilfield services provided by GBD are governed by individual written agreements, purchase orders, or contracts entered into between GBD and the Client (“Service Agreement”). Such Service Agreements shall include, but are not limited to, the following governing terms:

• Scope of Work: All service engagements must have a mutually agreed written scope of work defining deliverables, milestones, specifications, and acceptance criteria.
• Quotations & Pricing: All quotations issued by GBD are valid for the period specified therein (typically 30 calendar days from issue) and are subject to change without notice thereafter. Prices are exclusive of applicable taxes unless expressly stated.
• Payment Terms: Payment terms shall be as specified in the applicable Service Agreement. In the absence of specific terms, payment is due within 30 days of invoice date. Late payment shall accrue interest at the rate permissible under Omani commercial law.
• Variation Orders: Any change to the agreed scope of work must be documented in a written variation order signed by authorised representatives of both parties before GBD is obligated to perform additional or modified work.
• Client Obligations: The Client shall provide all information, access, permits, and resources reasonably required for GBD to perform the services safely and on schedule. Delays caused by the Client’s failure to meet these obligations shall not constitute a breach by GBD.
• HSE Requirements: All operations shall be conducted in strict compliance with applicable HSE laws, regulations, and operator-specific HSE management systems. GBD reserves the right to halt operations where an imminent safety risk is identified, without liability to the Client.

All content on this Website — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, video, audio, technical data, and software — is the exclusive property of Global Business Drilling LLC or its licensors and is protected by the intellectual property laws of the Sultanate of Oman and applicable international conventions.

No content from this Website may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, or distributed in any way to any other computer, server, website, or other medium for publication or distribution, or for any commercial enterprise, without the prior express written consent of GBD.

The GBD name, logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Global Business Drilling LLC. You must not use such marks without our prior written permission.

Any technical reports, drawings, designs, or specifications prepared by GBD in connection with a service engagement remain the intellectual property of GBD unless expressly transferred in writing within a Service Agreement.

In the course of business dealings with GBD, both parties may receive or have access to Confidential Information of the other. For the purposes of these Terms, “Confidential Information” means any non-public technical, commercial, operational, or financial information disclosed by one party to the other, whether orally, in writing, electronically, or by any other means.

Each party agrees to:

• Hold all Confidential Information of the other party in strict confidence using at least the same degree of care used to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care.
• Not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, except to employees, subcontractors, or professional advisors who have a need to know and are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations.
• Not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than to evaluate or perform the specific commercial engagement for which it was disclosed.

Confidentiality obligations shall survive the termination of any commercial relationship for a period of five (5) years, unless a specific Service Agreement provides for a longer period.

These obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Confidential Information; or (c) must be disclosed by law or court order, provided the disclosing party is given prompt prior written notice.

The Website and all content therein are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any representation, warranty, or guarantee of any kind, express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement.

GBD does not warrant that:

• The Website will be available continuously, uninterrupted, or error-free.
• Any errors or defects in the Website will be corrected.
• The Website or its servers are free from viruses or other harmful components.
• Information published on the Website is complete, accurate, current, or reliable for any specific purpose.

Content on the Website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, technical, legal, or financial advice. You should seek independent professional advice before acting on any information obtained from this Website.

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Sultanate of Oman:

• GBD shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages — including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or cost of substitute services — arising from your use of or inability to use the Website, even if GBD has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
• GBD’s total aggregate liability to you for direct damages arising from your use of the Website shall not exceed OMR 500 (five hundred Omani Rials).
• In respect of service engagements governed by a Service Agreement, liability shall be limited as expressly set out in that agreement. In the absence of any express cap, GBD’s liability in respect of any single claim or series of related claims shall not exceed the fees paid by the Client for the specific services giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months preceding the incident.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable Omani law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Global Business Drilling LLC, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

• Your use of the Website in violation of these Terms.
• Any information you submit through the Website that is false, misleading, or otherwise causes harm to GBD or any third party.
• Your infringement of any third-party intellectual property rights.
• Your breach of any applicable law, regulation, or rule.

GBD shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations — whether under these Terms or under any Service Agreement — where such failure or delay arises from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, war, armed conflict, terrorism, civil unrest, government sanctions, embargo, epidemic or pandemic, fire, flood, earthquake, severe weather, labour disputes, or failure of third-party infrastructure. Upon the occurrence of a force majeure event, GBD shall notify the affected party as soon as reasonably practicable and shall use reasonable endeavours to mitigate the impact and resume performance as soon as the force majeure event ceases.

The Website may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites for convenience only. GBD does not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or terms of use of any third-party website. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by GBD. You access third-party websites entirely at your own risk.

GBD reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. The Effective Date at the top of this document will be updated upon any revision. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

Your continued use of the Website after any change in these Terms will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Website.

GBD also reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Website (or any part thereof) at any time, without notice and without liability to you.

Your use of the Website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by this reference. By using the Website, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in our Privacy Policy.

No waiver by GBD of any breach of these Terms shall be considered a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. The failure of GBD to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any separately executed Service Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and GBD with respect to the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Sultanate of Oman.

The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute through good faith negotiation. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice from one party to the other, the dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Muscat, Sultanate of Oman.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other interim relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
