Terms and Conditions about testing
The test charges are effective from 1st January 2017.
Written instructions or an appropriate purchase order are required before commencement of testing.
The test charges are for samples delivered to our laboratory in Watford and do not include for costs incurred for obtaining or transporting test samples. Rates for collection are dependent upon the number of samples and geographical location. There is no collection charge for locations within 50 miles radius of our Watford laboratory providing there is in excess of 20 samples to be tested in the consignment.
Prices are for the performance of the relevant test or test(s) per specimen or set of specimens as indicated and provision of the test results(s) in accordance with the relevant specification.
The rates shown include for the provision of one copy of test results in accordance with the relevant Standard or Technical Procedure sent to one address. The rates do not include provision for collation and tabulations of test results on summary sheets or in digital format (i.e. AGS format). There is no provision for any photographic requirements in the rates quoted.
If the client decides to significantly change the test quantities and/or change the tests requested or wishes to make alternative arrangements for some of the testing without the approval of Geolabs Limited, then Geolabs Limited reserves the right to review any rates submitted for the whole of testing on the project.
Any requirements for meetings or visits in relation to the testing scheduled or proposed, may be chargeable at hourly rates plus any expenses incurred for those Geolabs Limited’s staff involved.
When test equipment has been allocated to perform testing as requested by the client and the testing is delayed or cannot be progressed because of lack of test instructions from the client, then Geolabs Limited reserve the right to charge a daily rate while the equipment is idle.
Samples are customarily disposed of three months after the issue of the results or report unless otherwise instructed. In this case a charge may be made for storage. All recorded data from test results and analysis will be archived and stored for 6 years from the date of reporting.
Discounts may be negotiated for regular clients and for major orders.
Surcharges may be applied for samples of unusual composition or where special preparation and testing techniques are required. These will be confirmed prior to commencing work.
VAT at the standard rate will be added to any rates quoted.
All invoices shall be paid within 30 days of receipt and the Company reserves the right to charge interest at the rate of 2% above the minimum lending rate, the time being in force of Barclays Bank Limited on all overdue accounts.
