Enquiries are welcome at any time, stating the matter and the reasons for it precisely.

This summary has been written for clarity: to enable Users to grasp the essential information immediately, without unnecessary complexity.
HICE is a business-to-business offering, intended for companies, firms and professionals.
These terms govern the purchase and use of the HICE notice libraries, Editions, templates and tools. They are written plainly, and they mean what they state. By downloading or using the Materials and/or tools, the User accepts them.
What the User acquires is a licence to use, not the documents themselves. The User may adapt them for its own work and that of its clients, projects, environment, role or employer. The User may not resell, designate as its own, share or republish them — in whole or in part, modified or not, unless specifically agreed with HICE in writing.
The Materials and/or tools are professional drafting aids, not advice. They create no adviser relationship and are not a substitute for one. Standard-form contracts such as those of FIDIC and NEC remain the property of their publishers; the HICE work references them by clause number and does not reproduce them.
Responsibility for use rests with the User, who selects the right document, adapts it to the contract, project, environment, role of the party and governing law, has it reviewed by a competent professional, and accounts for the outcome. The Materials and/or tools are tools; the judgement is the User’s.
HICE provides the Materials and/or tools as they are, without warranty, and to the fullest extent the law allows it accepts no liability for their use for evident reason. The entire risk of their selection and use rests with the User for evident reasons.
These terms are governed by the law of Latvia and apply worldwide. The Materials and/or tools are sold business-to-business and are not offered to consumers.
Adopted by HICE management on 15 June 2026.
