5.	General conditions for SES assignments 	
1.	SES assignments aim at training technical staff. They are always carried out on a voluntary basis and according to the principle “help towards self-help” - as a general rule - through suggestions for the solution of acute problems. 

2.	Requests for assistance are to be directed to SES together with a project description indicating the assignment target. In doing so, SES expects similar requests not to be directed to other organisations at the same time. 

3.	The duration of an SES assignment should not be shorter than three weeks and not longer than six months. Follow-up assignments are possible. 

4.	Even voluntary assignments like those of SES incur costs. Costs incur for the organisation of the assignment, the preparation of the Expert and the international travel (Economy Class). In addition, costs arise for accommodation at the assignment location as well as food, local transport, laundry and where required interpreter and a daily allowance in local currency for the Expert. 

5.	The Client bears these costs in total or partially. If the Client is not able to bear all the costs, SES examines the possibility of assuming the costs partially. Funds from the Federal Republic of Germany are available for SES to cover costs. 

6.	After precise definition of the tasks and targets of the assignment as well as the mutual agreement on the SES Expert to be assigned, an assignment agreement will be concluded between SES and the Client which includes the description of tasks.

7.	Consequently, SES concludes an assignment authorisation which also includes the description of tasks with the respective SES Expert. 

8.	An assignment agreement between the Client and the SES Expert is excluded. 

9.	SES does not assume any liability for the SES Expert’s activities.
