Welcome to NDT Connect!

NDT Connect ("Platform", "we", "us", "our") provides a platform to connect NDT service providers ("Service Provider", "you", "your") with clients seeking Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services ("Clients"). By registering an account as a Service Provider on NDT Connect, you agree to these Terms of Service.

1. Account and Profile Information:
   a. Accuracy: You are responsible for providing accurate, current, and complete information in your profile, including but not limited to your business details, location, services offered, qualifications, certifications, available technical documents, contact information, pricing indications, procedure outlines, and acceptance criteria information.
   b. Updates: You agree to maintain and promptly update your profile information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

2. Service Provision and Responsibilities:
   a. Fulfillment of Requirements: You commit to fulfilling all agreed-upon client requirements to the best of your ability. This includes strict adherence to any client-specific procedures, acceptance criteria, and qualification standards communicated by the Client.
   b. Professional Standards: You will conduct all NDT services in a professional manner and in accordance with recognized industry standards (e.g., SNT-TC-1A for personnel qualification, relevant ASME, API, ISO, or other applicable codes and standards for testing procedures and acceptance criteria), or any other client-specified requirements which may be more stringent.
   c. Qualification: You warrant that you and your personnel possess the necessary qualifications, certifications (e.g., SNT-TC-1A, ISO 9712, or equivalent), and experience to perform the NDT services you offer and undertake.
   d.

The mechanism and timing of sharing will be agreed upon directly with the client.
