GENERAL CONDITIONS |
One paper copy of the final report is provided to the client. In addition, data can be provided on computer media, sent by fax, or transmitted directly into the client's database system. Where applicable, raw and/or processed data can be provided on computer media or transmitted electronically. Prices listed are based upon Baseline Resolution standard methods and report procedures. Method modifications available at additional cost. Turn-around-time is dependent upon the number of samples submitted and the types of analyses requested. Rapid processing is available upon request but a surcharge may be applied. Clients are notified in advance of any surcharges. Interpretive reports are charged at hourly rates according to the time required to do the work or at the rate determined by subcontracting interpreters. These reports may include geochemical logs, graphics, GC or biomarker interpretation, integration with geology and geophysics, and discussion of exploration significance. Additional report copies and CDs are available for a nominal charge. Some analyses may be subcontracted to other vendors when necessary. Subcontractor prices may fluctuate and may be subject to additional charges (shipping, handling, etc.). Baseline Resolution reserves the right to perform interim billing on projects extending more than a month. |
