      4. Air compressor with 8 bar pressure and a commercially available NW 7,2CEJN connection
      5. The possibility to dispose of the waste on site
      6. In case the situation is required: scaffolding, rain protection and 10l bucket to mix, access authorization cards and key

          3. if sealants (silicone) are applied on the construction site: 5°C
          4. if (Non shrink) grout is used: 5°C
        2. On Site Sealants (silicone) require a temperature between 5°C and 25°C (constant!). If the requirements demand it, the customer provides a temperature-controlled enclosure so that there are no major temperature differences when the silicone dries out.
        3. Maximum temperature below 25°C at any time of construction work.
    6. Moving and Placing the Window
      1. The client is responsible for the acceptation of the ordered goods at the construction site in relation to the shipping conditions and packing list issued by Hydrosight.

      3. Moving the goods (eg. the underwater windows) from storage to final destination:
        1. Small windows can usually be moved by hand with the help of local workforce. If extra help is necessary, the client is responsible to provide appropriate assistance. Maximum weight to lift per person (male) is 55kg according to German law.
        2. Crane
          • Windows weighing more than 100Kg usually require a crane.
          • The crane is provided by the customer.

    7. Protection of the Window after Installation
      1. Hydrosight provides protection boards and a liner on both sides of the window. The liners prevent the acrylic from being openly exposed. The liner and the protection boards should not be removed before construction is finished. The liner should not be exposed to high temperature and/or UV light for a prolonged period of time. The window (with or without protection and liner) should not be exposed to any other temperature then it is rated for. It is advised to protect the window from direct sunlight as this might cause it to heat up.
      2. It is the client's responsibility to protect the window from damage by ongoing construction or other causes.
  3. Prices / Payment
    1. The installation lump sum is based on foreseeable expenditure at the time of quotation.
      • If the actual expenditure is higher and Hydrosight was not aware of the underlying cause at the time of quotation, the actual expenditure shall be invoiced.
      • Downtimes, i.e. construction site times during which Hydrosight's work is delayed through no fault of its own, will be factored separately.
      • Flat rates are calculated for one continuous site visit without interruption.
      • If work cannot proceed due to circumstances for which the client is responsible, the additional travel time will be billed.

    3. Work permits or other approvals that allow Hydrosight employees to perform their job (e.g., health and/or safety regulations), if required in the country of performance, are excluded from all lump sum quotes. The time required to obtain these permits and/or the cost will be charged extra.

Installation supervision: If Hydrosight has offered to supervise the installation, a supervisor will be provided exclusively to monitor the work.
Installation fee: Details according to offer.
Other agreement: Details according to offer
