Specific scope, fees, deliverables, service levels, confidentiality and termination terms are set out in a signed order form, programme agreement, statement of work or other written agreement.

A commercial agreement cannot: widen an underlying farm permission · buy access to private farm records outside permission · predetermine a conclusion · alter a locked method for commercial convenience · weaken privacy thresholds · suppress a valid negative, null, mixed, incomplete or inconvenient outcome · purchase Proof Accredited or Proof Recorded status · override the Proof Record Rules
