(a) The agreement between the Company and the Hirer is and shall at all times be subject to and include each and all of the conditions hereinafter set out; (b) For the purpose of these conditions — (i) towing is any operation in connection with the holding, pushing, pulling, moving, escorting or guiding of or standing by the Hirer’s vessel, and the expressions to tow, being towed and towage shall be defined likewise; (ii) vessel shall include any vessel, craft or object of whatsoever nature (whether or not coming within the usual meaning of the word **“vessel”**) which the Company agrees to tow or to which the Company agrees at the request, express or implied, of the Hirer, to render any service of whatsoever nature other than towing; (iii) tender shall include any vessel, craft or object of whatsoever nature which is not a tug but which is provided by the Company for the performance of any towage or other service; (iv) the expression whilst towing shall cover the period commencing when the tug or tender is in a position to receive orders direct from the Hirer’s vessel to commence holding, pushing, pulling, moving, escorting, guiding or standing by the vessel or to pick up ropes, wires or lines, or when the towing line has been passed to or by the tug or tender, whichever is the sooner, and ending when the final orders from the Hirer’s vessel to cease holding, pushing, pulling, moving, escorting, guiding or standing by the vessel or to cast off ropes, wires or lines has been carried out, or the towing line has been finally slipped, whichever is the later, and the tug or tender is safely clear of the vessel; (v) any service of whatsoever nature to be performed by the Company other than towing shall be deemed to cover the period commencing when the tug or tender is placed physically at the disposal of the Hirer at the place designated by the Hirer, or, if such be at a vessel, when the tug or tender is in a position to receive and forthwith carry out orders to come alongside and shall continue until the employment for which the tug or tender has been engaged is ended. If the service is to be ended at or off a vessel the period of service shall end when the tug or tender is safely clear of the vessel or, if it is to be ended elsewhere, then when any persons or property of whatsoever description have been landed or discharged from the tug or tender and/or the service for which the tug or tender has been required is ended; (vi) the word tug shall include tugs, the word tender shall include tenders, the word vessel shall include vessels, the word Company shall include Companies and the word Hirer shall include Hirers; (vii) the expression Company shall include any person or body (other than the Hirer or the owner of the vessel on whose behalf the Hirer contracts as provided in Clause 2) who is a party to this agreement whether or not he in fact owns any tug or tender, and the expression other Company contained in Clause 5 shall be construed likewise. 2. If at the time of making this agreement or of performing the towage or of rendering any service other than towing at the request, express or implied, of the Hirer, the Hirer is not the Owner of the vessel referred to herein as the Hirer’s vessel, the Hirer expressly represents that he is authorised to make and does make this agreement for and on behalf of the owner of the said vessel subject to each and all of these conditions and agrees that both the Hirer and the Owner are bound jointly and severally by these conditions. 3. Whilst towing or whilst at the request, express or implied, of the Hirer, rendering any service other than towing, the Master and crew of the tug or tender shall be deemed to be the servants of the Hirer and under the control of the Hirer and/or his servants and/or his agents, and anyone on board the Hirer’s vessel who may be employed and/or paid by the Company shall likewise be deemed to be the servant of the Hirer and the Hirer shall accordingly be vicariously liable for any act or omission by any such person so deemed to be the servant of the Hirer. 4. Whilst towing, or whilst at the request, either expressed or implied, of the Hirer rendering any service of whatsoever nature other than towing — (a) the Company shall not (except as provided in Clause 4(c) and (e)) be responsible for or be liable for; (i) damage of any description done by or to the tug or tender, or done by or to the Hirer’s vessel or done by or to any cargo or other thing on board or being loaded on board or intended to be loaded on board the Hirer’s vessel or the tug or tender or to any other object or property; or (ii) loss of the tug or tender or the Hirer’s vessel or of any cargo or other thing on board or being loaded on board or intended to be loaded on board the Hirer’s vessel or the tug or tender or any other object or property; or (iii) any claim by a person not a party to this agreement for loss or damage of any description whatsoever, arising from any cause whatsoever, including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) negligence at any time of the Company, its servants or agents, unseaworthiness, unfitness or breakdown of the tug or tender, its machinery, boilers, towing gear, equipment, lines, ropes or wires, lack of fuel, stores, speed and otherwise; and (b) the Hirer shall (except as provided in Clauses 4(c) and (e)) be responsible for, pay for and indemnify the Company against and in respect of any loss or damage and any claims of whatsoever nature or howsoever arising or caused, whether covered by the provisions of Clause 4(a) or not, suffered by or made against the Company and which shall include, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any loss of or damage to the tug or tender or any property of the Company even if the same arises from or is caused by the negligence of the Company or its servants or agents; (c) the provisions of Clauses 4(a) and 4(b) shall not be applicable in respect of any claims which arise in any of the following circumstances — (i) all claims which the Hirer shall prove to have resulted directly and solely from the personal failure of the Company to exercise reasonable care to make the tug or tender seaworthy for navigation at the commencement of the towing or other service. For the purpose of this Clause the Company’s personal responsibility for exercising reasonable care shall be construed as relating only to the person or persons having the ultimate control and chief management of the Company’s business and to any servant (excluding the officers and crew of any tug or tender) to whom the Company has specifically delegated the particular duty of exercising reasonable care and shall not include any other servant of the Company or any agent or independent contractor employed by the Company; (ii) all claims which arise when the tug or tender, although towing or rendering some service other than towing, is not in a position of proximity or risk to or from the Hirer’s vessel or any other craft attending the Hirer’s vessel and is detached from and safely clear of any ropes, lines, wire cables or moorings associated with the Hirer’s vessel. Provided always that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Clauses 4(a) and 4(b) shall be fully applicable in respect of all claims which arise at any time when the tug or tender is at the request, whether express or implied, of the Hirer, his servants or his agents, carrying persons or property of whatsoever description (in addition to the Officers and crew and usual equipment of the tug or tender) and which are wholly or partly caused by or arise out of the presence on board of such persons or property or which arise at any time when the tug or tender is proceeding to or from the Hirer’s vessel in hazardous conditions or circumstances; (d) notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the Company shall under no circumstances whatsoever be responsible for or be liable for any loss or damage caused by or contributed to or arising out of any delay or detention of the Hirer’s vessel or of the cargo on board or being loaded on board or intended to be loaded on board the Hirer’s vessel or of any other object or property or of any person, or any consequence thereof, whether or not the same shall be caused or arise whilst towing or whilst at the request, either express or implied, of the Hirer rendering any service of whatsoever nature other than towing or at any other time whether being during or after the making of this agreement; (e) notwithstanding anything contained in Clauses 4(a) and (b) hereof the liability of the Company for death or personal injury resulting from negligence is not excluded or restricted thereby. 5. The Company shall at any time be entitled to substitute one or more tugs or tenders for any other tug or tender or tugs or tenders. The Company shall at any time (whether before or after the making of this agreement between the company and the Hirer) be entitled to contract with any other company (hereinafter referred to as the other company) to hire the other company’s tug or tender and in any such event it is hereby agreed that the Company is acting (or is deemed to have acted) as the agent for the Hirer, notwithstanding that the Company may in addition, if authorised whether expressly or impliedly by or on behalf of the other company, act as agent for the other company at any time and for any purpose including the making of any agreement with the Hirer, in any event should the Company as agent for the Hirer contract with the other company for any purpose as aforesaid it is hereby agreed that such contract is and shall at all times be subject to the provisions of these conditions so that the other company is bound by the same and may as a principal sue the Hirer thereon and shall have the full benefit of these conditions in every respect expressed or implied herein. 6. Nothing contained in these conditions shall limit, prejudice or preclude in any way any legal rights which the Company may have against the Hirer including, but not limited to, any rights which the Company or its servants or agents may have to claim salvage remuneration or special compensation for any extraordinary services rendered to vessels or any thing aboard vessels by any tug or tender. Furthermore, nothing contained in these conditions shall limit, prejudice, or preclude in any way any right which the Company may have to limit its liability. 7. The Company will not in any event be responsible or liable for the consequences of war, riots, civil commotions, acts of terrorism or sabotage, strikes, lockouts, disputes, stoppages or labour disturbances (whether it be a party thereto or not) or anything done in contemplation or furtherance thereof or delays of any description howsoever caused or arising, including by the negligence of the Company or its servants or agents. 8. The Hirer of the tug or tender engaged subject to these conditions undertakes not to take or cause to be taken any proceedings against any servant or agent of the Company or other company (as referred to in clause 5), whether or not the tug or tender substituted or hired or the contract or any part thereof has been sublet to the owner of the tug or tender, in respect of any negligence or breach of duty or other wrongful act on the part of such servant or agent which, but for this present provision, it would be competent for the Hirer so to do and the owners of such tug or tender shall hold this undertaking for the benefit of their servants and agents.
