A standard Terms of Reference clause (for NOCA / NOD / NOE, any/all communications), may include:
This Notice is issued pursuant to the accompanying Terms of Reference (“TOR”), as set out in Annexure [X] or accessible at URL (strike out one). All terms used in this Notice shall be interpreted in accordance with those TOR unless the recipient provides alternative definitions in writing. In the absence of such definitions, the recipient is taken to have accepted the TOR for the purposes of this and future correspondence.
Or:
Terms of Reference — Annexure X
Annexure X (Terms of Reference) forms part of and is incorporated into this Notice/Correspondence. Unless expressly refuted with reference to the operative legal authority relied upon (Act and section), Annexure X governs the interpretation of this Notice/Correspondence and any further correspondence on the same subject matter with the recipient and/or its agents.
Or:
1. Terms of Reference — Annexure X (incorporated)
1.1 The definitions and Terms of Reference relied upon in this Notice are set out in Annexure X, which forms part of and is incorporated into this Notice.
1.2 Unless expressly refuted with reference to the operative statutory definition relied upon (Act and section), Annexure X will be taken as agreed and will govern the interpretation of this Notice and any further correspondence with the respondents, their and/or its agents.
Edit or write as required/desired. It is strongly recommended that you create, edit and use as an Annexure to your document/communication v link to the web page/URL, only because the Terms of Reference web page is often changed, updated, edited. So to ensure the TOR are as you want for your documents at that time, it is recommended you publish them as an Annexure.
