Editions Policy

This is a summarised extract from HICE adopted policy, drawn from HICE management records to provide accurate and complete information on the matter for global market. The full policy text is available on request from management@hice-group.com, and is not published publicly due to specific internal governance matters such as metrics on sustainability impacts, internal procedural rules and other commercially sensitive details. Enquiries are welcome at any time, stating the matter and the reasons for it precisely. What appears here is complete in itself and is a true, accurate extract of the exact information required for global commercial use, and this data may be relied upon accordingly. This summary has been written for clarity: to enable Users to grasp the essential information immediately, without unnecessary complexity.

 

Every HICE document is an Edition: a generic, professionally drafted starting point — never a contract-specific instrument.

An Edition is built to a standard structure and tone, and is written to be adapted, not issued as found. It references standard-form clause numbers and common mechanics, but it does not know the User’s contract, particular conditions, governing law or facts.

A competent professional must review and adapt each Edition to the specific contract before it is issued or relied upon. This reflects a principle the industry already knows – particular conditions/rules must be drafted for the particular project/general conditions(rules).

HICE gives no guarantee that an Edition is fit for a particular contract or will achieve any particular outcome. Its generic nature is deliberate, and is not a defect for obvious reasons.

Because Editions are generic by design, the need to adapt one to a particular contract is not a ground for a refund.
