## 1. PURPOSE & STANDARD OF SERVICE
## 第一条 服务目的与服务标准
This Agreement sets out terms for independent third‑party assessment of evidence relating to claimed Australian origin of goods, including documentary review, public‑record cross‑checks, traceability analysis and report preparation.
本协议约定针对商品澳大利亚原产地主张相关证据进行独立第三方评估的条款,包括文件审阅、公开记录交叉核验、溯源分析及报告编制。

The Services provide an independent assessment of available evidence and do not constitute a guarantee, certification, accreditation, or formal determination of origin.
本服务仅对现有证据提供独立评估结论,不构成对原产地的保证、认证、资质认可或正式认定。

### Report Findings Classification
– **Evidence Supported:** Evidence reviewed consistently aligns with the claimed origin at the time of assessment
– **Partially Supported:** Available evidence tends to support the claim but is incomplete or not fully conclusive
– **Unable to Conclude:** Insufficient or unavailable evidence to form a definitive view
– **Evidence Not Supporting Claim:** Available evidence does not align with the claimed origin
– **Inconsistent Evidence:** Material conflicts exist within the reviewed information
### 报告结论分类
– **证据支持主张:** 评估时所审阅证据与所主张的原产地信息一致
– **部分支持主张:** 现有证据倾向于支持该主张,但尚不完整或无法形成完全定论
– **无法得出结论:** 证据不足或无法获取,无法形成明确意见
– **证据不支持主张:** 现有证据与所主张的原产地信息不符
– **证据存在矛盾:** 所审阅资料之间存在实质性冲突

A classification of “Evidence Supported” means only that the evidence reviewed was consistent with the stated claim at the Report Date. It does not mean the Provider has independently proven, certified or guaranteed origin.
标注为“证据支持主张”仅表示截至报告出具日所审阅证据与相关主张相符,不代表服务提供方已独立证实、认证或保证该原产地属实。

**Professional Judgement:** The Client acknowledges that the Services involve professional judgement and assessment of available evidence. A difference of professional opinion, where the Provider has exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, does not of itself constitute negligence or breach of this Agreement.
**专业判断说明:** 客户确认本服务涉及基于现有证据作出的专业判断与评估。服务提供方已尽到合理审慎、专业勤勉义务的情况下,仅存在专业意见分歧本身不构成过失或违约。

The Provider performs Services with reasonable care, skill and diligence consistent with accepted industry practice.
服务提供方将按照澳大利亚同类服务公认行业标准,秉持合理审慎、专业勤勉的原则提供服务。

**Use of AI Tools:** AI‑assisted tools may be used for administration, research, organisation or preliminary analysis. The Provider does not rely solely on AI outputs; all final findings are subject to human review and judgement by the Provider. The Provider will not knowingly submit Client Confidential Information to publicly available AI systems that use submitted information for general model training purposes without the Client’s written consent. The Provider will take reasonable steps to ensure that any AI‑assisted tools used for Client Information are configured to minimise retention, disclosure and secondary use of Client Information.
**人工智能工具使用说明:** 本服务可使用人工智能辅助工具进行行政处理、资料检索、整理或初步分析。服务提供方不会仅依赖人工智能输出结果,所有最终结论均经过人工复核判断。未经客户书面同意,服务提供方不会故意将客户保密信息提交给会将提交内容用于通用模型训练的公开人工智能系统。服务提供方将采取合理措施确保处理客户信息所使用的人工智能工具配置为尽量减少客户信息留存、泄露及二次使用。

## 2. RELATIONSHIP, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, CONFLICT OF INTEREST & INSURANCE

– **Sanctions & Risk Refusal:** The Provider may refuse or discontinue Services if continuing would reasonably expose it to sanctions, AML obligations, criminal liability or reputational harm.
– **合规风险拒绝权:** 如继续提供服务将合理导致服务提供方面临制裁、反洗钱义务、刑事责任或声誉损害,服务提供方有权拒绝或终止服务。

No representation is made that any specific coverage will respond to any claim. Evidence of current insurance may be provided upon reasonable written request.
