The funds and activities related to this programme will be administered by ICAO in accordance with applicable ICAO regulations, rules, policies, directives, procedures and practices.

4.2 The specific responsibilities of each Partner with regard to requests and contribution of resources for the development and/or implementation of activities shall be outlined in specific agreements.

4.3 ICAO and the Partners shall maintain close consultations in respect of all aspects of activities envisaged under the ACT-SAF programme to facilitate the achievement of the objectives described in paragraph 3.

4.4 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall constitute either ICAO or any of the Partners acting as an agent for the other for any purpose, and nothing herein shall be construed as granting either ICAO or any of the Partners the right to make commitments of any kind for or on behalf of the other.

4.5 The acceptance of these Terms and Conditions does not commit ICAO to the development or implementation of any specific activities with any of the Partners. The development and/or implementation of specific activities pursuant to requests from Requesting States shall be conditional upon the availability of sufficient resources provided to the ACT-SAF Programme by Supporting Entities or by the Requesting State itself. In case of lack of resources, or mismatch of resources with the requests, ICAO reserves the right not to develop or implement any activity requested by a Partner under the ACT-SAF Programme.

4.6 ICAO may publicize the activities developed or implemented with a Partner on the ACT-SAF platform, including on its public website.

5.2 A Partner may participate as a Supporting Entity, or as a Requesting State, or both depending on the ACT-SAF activity concerned.

5.3 The scope of the activities to be developed and/or implemented under the ACT-SAF Programme will be defined by ICAO based on the resources made available for the Programme by Supporting Entities, and taking into account the needs expressed by Requesting States.

6.1 Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions shall be settled amicably by mutual consultations and direct negotiations between ICAO and the concerned Partner(s).

7.2 Each Partner shall indemnify, defend, and hold and save harmless, ICAO and its officials, agents and employees, from and against all suits, proceedings, claims, demands, losses, and liability of any kind or nature brought against ICAO and resulting from, or arising in connection with these Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, all litigation costs and expenses, attorney's fees, settlement payments, and damages. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partner shall be obligated, at its sole expense, to defend ICAO and its officials, agents, and employees, regardless of whether the suits, proceedings, claims, and demands in question actually give rise to or otherwise result in any loss or liability.

7.3 ICAO shall advise the Partner about any such suits, proceedings, claims, demands, losses, or liability within a reasonable period of time after having received actual notice thereof. ICAO shall have control over any assertion or defense of the privileges and immunities of ICAO or any matter relating thereto. ICAO shall have the right to be represented in any such suit, proceeding, claim or demand by independent counsel of its own choosing and shall also be indemnified, held, and saved harmless by the Partner for such litigation costs and expenses and attorney's fees.
