G.S.S. provides advisory and implementation support for industrial energy management systems conforming to ISO 50001:2018 and for compliance with the Energy Efficiency Act (Canada) and its regulations. Services include energy reviews, baseline establishment, performance indicator selection, documentation preparation, and audit readiness assessment.

All services are delivered on a non-exclusive basis. No guarantee of certification or regulatory approval is made. Certification decisions rest solely with accredited third-party bodies and regulatory authorities.

The client shall provide accurate and complete information regarding facility operations, energy consumption data, and existing management systems. The client is responsible for obtaining any necessary internal approvals and for allocating personnel to support the engagement.

The client shall maintain confidentiality of any proprietary methodologies shared during the engagement. Failure to provide timely or accurate information may delay deliverables and shall not constitute a breach by G.S.S.

All deliverables produced by G.S.S., including reports, templates, procedures, and performance indicator frameworks, remain the intellectual property of G.S.S. unless otherwise agreed in writing. The client receives a non-transferable license to use such deliverables solely for internal operational purposes related to the engagement.

Pre-existing intellectual property of either party remains the property of that party. No implied license is granted beyond the scope of the specific engagement.

G.S.S. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the services, including but not limited to loss of production, loss of data, or regulatory penalties. The total aggregate liability of G.S.S. for any claim arising under these terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing thirty days written notice. Upon termination, the client shall pay for all services rendered up to the effective date of termination. G.S.S. may terminate immediately if the client materially breaches these terms and fails to cure the breach within ten days of written notice.

Upon termination, the client shall return or destroy any confidential information of G.S.S. in its possession. Sections 3, 4, and 6 shall survive termination.

These terms are governed by the laws of the province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms shall first be submitted to mediation in Montreal, Quebec. If mediation fails, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Commercial Arbitration Centre.

The parties agree that any arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class action or representative proceeding.

G.S.S. reserves the right to amend these terms at any time. Clients will be notified of material changes at least thirty days before they take effect. Continued use of services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the amended terms.
