We provide independent third-party services that may include: annual and periodic crane inspections, post-assembly inspections, post-repair and post-modification inspections, rigging inspection and certification, Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT), maritime inspection and certification (including load testing where applicable), drone inspection services, safety training and operator qualification support, and accident investigation and expert witness services.
Important: Unless we sign a separate written agreement that says otherwise, we do not perform crane operation, maintenance, repairs, engineering design, or act as the controlling entity for your lift plan. Our role is inspection, oversight, and reporting based on what we can access and observe at the time of service.
Our scope of work is limited to what is written in our quote, proposal, work order, or other written confirmation (Scope). Verbal requests are not binding unless confirmed by us in writing.
If your company issues a purchase order (PO), we can accept it as a billing tool. Any PO terms that conflict with these Terms do not apply unless we agree in writing.
Anything outside the Scope (for example, added components, added shifts, extra cranes, travel changes, or expanded documentation) may require a change order and may increase cost and schedule.
To keep your equipment downtime as low as possible, we rely on you to have the site and equipment ready when we arrive. You agree to provide safe access and the support needed to do the work.
You are responsible for:
If we cannot safely access areas or components, those items may be listed as not inspected or limited inspection due to access in the report.
Job sites change fast. If we are delayed due to conditions outside our control (including weather, access issues, crane not ready, missing personnel, breakdowns, vessel scheduling, site shutdowns, or safety stoppages), you may be billed for standby time, additional trips, and related expenses.
Pricing is based on the Scope, site location, scheduling, and the information you provide. Unless stated otherwise in writing, you agree to pay:
Invoices are due as stated on the invoice. Past-due balances may delay scheduling, delivery of non-required copies of documents, or future work. You are responsible for reasonable costs of collection if an invoice remains unpaid.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact us as soon as you can at (888) 710-4479 or info@marquiscraneservices.com.
Late cancellations or no-access/no-show conditions may be billed for reserved time, travel time, and any non-refundable travel costs. We do not enjoy charging these costs, but once travel and schedules are locked in, we cannot always fill that time.
We use inspection software to generate reports and may deliver reports electronically, including from the job site. Report timing depends on scope, site conditions, and the completeness of information provided.
Reports reflect our professional judgment based on the conditions observed and the access available at the time of inspection or testing. A report is not a guarantee of future performance or a promise that defects will not occur later.
You are responsible for keeping records and using them to support your compliance program. If you need a specific format, customer portal access, or special report routing, tell us before the job begins.
Most inspections are visual and functional checks with non-destructive methods where appropriate (including MRT when included in the Scope). We do not perform destructive testing unless the Scope clearly states it and you approve it.
Some problems cannot be found without disassembly, cleaning, or removal of covers and guards. If those steps are not part of the Scope, we may note limitations in the report. Hidden corrosion, internal damage, prior undocumented repairs, or field modifications may not be detectable during a standard inspection.
Safety comes first. If we see a condition that appears unsafe, we may recommend stopping use of the equipment until it is evaluated, repaired, or confirmed safe by the responsible parties.
You understand that the equipment owner/operator and site controlling entity remain responsible for job site safety, lift planning, equipment operation, supervision, and final decisions. Our recommendations are based on what we observe and the standards that apply to the Scope.
When we provide Assembly/Disassembly Director or oversight services, our role is to provide third-party direction or guidance as defined in the Scope. Your company remains responsible for:
If we are asked to proceed in a way that we believe is unsafe or not compliant with the agreed plan, we may pause work until the issue is corrected.
Maritime work often involves port rules, vessel schedules, and added access controls. You are responsible for coordinating gate access, badging, escorts, and any site-specific training or safety requirements.
Load testing, when included, may require test weights, calibrated instruments, and defined test procedures. Unless the Scope states otherwise, you provide the test load, supporting equipment, and the crew needed to conduct the test safely.
Training sessions are built around the audience and the agreed topic list. Attendance, participation, and safe behavior during training are your responsibility. If a class is stopped for safety reasons or due to disruptive behavior, it may still be billable.
Any pass/fail or qualification outcome depends on the applicable program rules, testing conditions, and the participant performance.
For investigations, you agree to preserve evidence when possible and provide timely access to records, equipment, personnel, and the scene. Investigation timelines depend on access, cooperation, and the availability of information.
Any expert opinions are based on the information available at the time and may change if new facts come to light.
You agree that information you provide to us is accurate to the best of your knowledge. If we rely on incorrect or incomplete information, the scope, schedule, and conclusions may be affected, and additional fees may apply to correct or re-perform work.
You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to attempt to disrupt the website, scrape content, or use it to send harmful code or spam.
Our website content, logos, and written materials belong to Marquis Crane Services or are used with permission. You may not copy or reuse them for commercial purposes without written permission.
Inspection reports and deliverables are prepared for the client named in the Scope. You may use them for your internal compliance and business needs. If a third party (for example, an owner, GC, insurer, or regulator) needs a copy, you are responsible for how you share it, unless the Scope requires us to send it directly.
We treat client information as confidential and do not share it outside the project unless you authorize us, it is required for the Scope (for example, sending a report to a named recipient), or we are required by law, subpoena, or a regulator.
We stand behind our work and take pride in being careful and thorough. At the same time, inspections and oversight have limits. You agree that:
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Marquis Crane Services is not responsible for indirect or special damages (for example, lost profits, downtime costs, delay penalties, or lost business), even if those damages relate to our work or reports.
Our total liability for any claim related to the services will not exceed the amount you paid us for the specific service that gave rise to the claim, unless a different limit is required by law or agreed in a signed written contract.
We carry business insurance appropriate for our operations. If your site requires proof of insurance, tell us before the scheduled date so we can provide a certificate when available.
To the extent allowed by law, you agree to defend and hold Marquis Crane Services harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your equipment operation, site conditions, crew actions, or your misuse of reports, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
If you believe there is an error in an invoice or report, contact us promptly. It is easier to fix things while details are fresh and the equipment configuration has not changed.
Any claim related to our services must be made in writing and sent to info@marquiscraneservices.com within a reasonable time after you discover the issue.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maine, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Unless the parties agree to a different process in writing, any legal action must be brought in a state or federal court located in Maine.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version posted on our website on the date you request services will apply unless a signed agreement states otherwise.
