Seismic data is shipped off the seismic crew to both the Company’s offices and their nominated data processing house every 7 days or as requested. One data set is to be sent to each destination.
Whilst on the crew, acquired data is insured via a “business interruption and data reinstatement” insurance policy. This policy covers a period of two days of data acquisition, thus insuring seismic data on a line by line basis for a maximum total of A$60,000 per any one loss.
6.2
Evidence of Insurance
Prior to the commencement of work and obligations under this Agreement the Contractor shall furnish to the Company for approval at its address as described herein evidence of the Contractor’s insurance as prescribed herein.
6.3
Compliance with Laws
The Contractor shall to the best of it’s ability require that its contractors and subcontractors shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations and shall comply with applicable unemployment insurance and workmen’s compensation legislation and regulations thereto and shall carry such insurance in such amounts not being less than the Contractor is required to effect under this Agreement as the Contractor deems necessary.
6.4
General Insurance Provisions
The insurance arranged by the Contractor shall be effected prior to the commencement of work and be maintained in full force and effect with a reputable insurance company throughout the entire course for the contract period.
The Contractor shall at all times be responsible for complying with and abiding by the terms and conditions of the insurance arranged by him and for the payment of all excesses which may be contained within the term of such insurances.
9
The insurances arranged by the Contractor shall contain specific agreements to the effect that any breach of the conditions of the insurances by the Contractor or it’s employees, agents, subcontractors or any other person or persons for whose actions the Contractor is responsible shall not prejudice the Contractors right to claims under all policies unless thirty (30) days notice of the breach and the intentions of the insurance company to determine the policy has been given to the Company.
All insurances arranged by the Contractor under clause 6.1 shall contain specific agreement to the effect that any deliberate breach of policy conditions by the Contractor or its employees, agents, subcontractors or any person or persons for whose actions the Contractor is responsible shall not prejudice the Company’s right to claim.
The Contractor shall also provide at the request of the Company all such documentation as may be required from time to time and substantiate the continued existence of adequate protection and the payment by the Contractor of all premiums and charges due in respect of such insurance.
The examination of the documentation provided by the Contractor to the Company or it’s Insurance Brokers does not relieve the Contractor of it’s responsibility to arrange insurances, nor does it otherwise relieve the Contractor of any other responsibility under this Agreement.
6.5
Sub-Contractors
Where subcontracts are entered into with surveying, line preparation, fencing or uphole drilling subcontractors, the Contractor shall ensure that each of his subcontractors effect similar insurances to those required of the Contractor.
