Terms of Service

1. Purpose of the Website

The NO PETROL website is intended to provide information about biological products developed or commercialised by NGC, including their potential applications, benefits, and eligibility criteria.

The content available on this website is provided for general informational, institutional, technical, and commercial purposes only. It does not constitute a binding offer, technical certification, regulatory approval, or professional advice.

Any assessment of product suitability, eligibility, technical feasibility, or commercial conditions may require direct analysis by NGC and, where applicable, additional information from the user.

2. Eligibility Questionnaire

The website may include an eligibility questionnaire designed to assess the potential suitability of users, companies, organisations, or projects for NO PETROL biological products.

Submission of the questionnaire does not guarantee eligibility, approval, access to products, commercial terms, technical support, partnership, or any contractual relationship with NGC.

NGC reserves the right to review submitted information and decide, at its sole discretion, whether to contact the user, request additional information, provide a proposal, or decline further follow-up.

Users are responsible for ensuring that the information submitted through the questionnaire is accurate, complete, and up to date.

3. Use of the Website
