Quantus will work to meet these unique strategic requirements of our customers, and the customer acknowledges that Quantus does not have established procedures for these types of requests. All work requirements will be documented in the Service Request and on the Quote. Prior to quote submission to the customer, Quantus management will approve or disapprove depending on Quantus’ ability to fully meet the needs of our customer's request as documented on the quote. When available and applicable, Quantus will, in good faith, make an effort to pass through any warranties available to the customer. However, Quantus does not warranty pass-through materials, parts, or subcontract services, and there is no guarantee that the originator of the materials, parts, or subcontract services will pass through any warranties.

Sourced Service and Repairs
  • Subcontracted services are quoted after evaluation and require customer approval. All disapproved repairs may be subject to an hourly evaluation charge.
  • Not all repairs can be accomplished in-house and must be subcontracted to a qualified vendor. Our ability to calibrate does not imply an ability to repair or adjust, as some manufacturers reserve this capability for themselves.

  • Minor repairs, i.e., elimination of electrical or mechanical noise via connection cleaning, will be performed while the instrument calibration is in progress to expedite turnaround.
Expedited Service

    • Technicians dispatched for emergency service will be billed at the applicable man-day rate (weekday, weekend, etc.), for a minimum of a full-day rate (8 hours).

  • ISO registration and accreditation information, including our ISO 17025 accreditation for Microbiology Lab services, is available on our website: https://goquantus.com/quality-assurance#accreditations.
Delivery and Shipping
  • Insurance is NOT included. Customer is responsible for insuring equipment during all shipment stages (Customer-Quantus, Quantus-Vendor, Vendor-Quantus, Quantus-Customer). Quantus is not liable for equipment damaged or lost by an independent carrier such as FedEx, UPS, or USPS. Quantus will assist the Customer with their insurance claim but will not pay for lost or damaged equipment.
  • Quantus is not responsible or liable for any results of equipment unavailability to the customer for any service. Quantus does not furnish float, loaner, or replacement instruments.
  • Quantus requires documentation (packing slip, purchase order, etc.) in packaging detailing the equipment being sent in for service (list of items) and the required work (calibration, repair, etc.) per ISO 9001.

  • STAT REPORTING is available for an additional fee, which is quoted at the time of the request.
Estimates, Quotes, and Cancellations
  • A local travel charge per zone per technician will be applied for all onsite services. Quantus reserves the right to change travel charges as necessary to adapt to changing costs of fuel, maintenance, repairs, parts, insurance, and rentals, and other fleet-related variable costs. Local travel charges will not change once quoted.
  • Long-distance travel costs are subject to change after quoted. This is travel requiring car rental, airfare, or hotel. The invoiced cost of travel is based on other underlying costs that Quantus, Inc. cannot lock in; these are out of the Company’s ability to control (i.e., Car Rental, Fuel, Hotel, Airfare, Meals, etc.).
  • All services will be quoted prior to Quantus, Inc. employees arriving onsite.
  • Time onsite may be extended and the quote adjusted if we find there is no assistance, machine disassembly is required, limited access to environment, equipment is not ready for service, if there is a delay caused by the customer, or if the scope of work changes after the quote has been approved and work started.
  • An hourly rate may be charged for pre and post time spent for doing research, creating documentation, making changes to customer service requirements and general standby time.
  • If a confirmed routine service is moved, changed, or canceled within (5) business days, customer shall be invoiced for 20% of the job total or minimum day rate charges for each tech-day that was not able to be rescheduled to alternate billable job.
  • If a confirmed routine service is moved, changed, or canceled within (1) business day, customer shall be invoiced for 50% of the job total or minimum day rate charges, whichever is greater. The final billable amount for the cancellation will also take into account our ability to reschedule onsite technicians to alternate work.
  • For clarity in our transactions, Quantus, Inc. provides estimates strictly for budgetary purposes; these are not binding offers. Formal quotes, when issued by Quantus, Inc., secure pricing for a ninety (90) day period from the date issued, according to the terms and conditions herein. Receipt of a customer's purchase order in response to a quote will lock the price, except long-distance related travel costs, maintaining validity until the work's completion, assuming the work proceeds within the timeframe originally anticipated in the quote.
  • In the case of customers providing blanket purchase orders for annual estimates, it should be noted that Quantus, Inc. cannot guarantee price locking for the duration of the year. Given the fluctuating costs of materials, labor, operational expenses, and changes to payment terms or ADP, annual estimates serve as a general financial framework rather than a fixed price commitment. To accommodate for this, Quantus, Inc. will issue monthly quotes that detail the fixed costs for services in the upcoming period. These monthly quotes will provide specific pricing that Quantus, Inc. will honor, ensuring price stability for the customer until the quoted services for that month are completed. This practice ensures that both Quantus, Inc. and the customer can plan and budget with greater precision and adapt to any market changes with agility.

Deposit Requirements
  • A deposit may be required to initiate work, depending on various factors such as material requirements, project complexity, and expected timelines or potential delays. The deposit amount will typically range from 20% to 50% of the total quoted project cost.
  • When a Deposit is Required:
    • Standard Projects: For typical projects with standard complexity and minimal material requirements, a deposit of around 20% may be applied. This deposit requirement is dependent on the customer's ability to establish and maintain good credit with Quantus. Customers with a strong credit history may be eligible for more favorable deposit terms.
    • Material-Intensive Projects: For projects requiring significant material procurement, a deposit closer to 50% may be required to cover upfront costs.
    • Complex or Long-Term Projects: Projects involving higher complexity or extended durations may also require a higher deposit to ensure resource allocation and project commitment.
    • Custom or Specialized Services: For services that are customized or tailored to specific customer needs, a deposit ensures commitment to the project.
    • New Customers or Limited Credit History: New customers or those with limited credit history may be required to provide a deposit to reduce financial risk.
    • High-Demand Services: When services are in high demand or when limited resources are involved, a deposit may be necessary to secure a place in the service queue.
  • Proportional Application to Progress Billing:
    • The deposit will be applied proportionally across progress billing stages, ensuring that the customer is credited appropriately as work progresses. This allows for transparent financial tracking and ensures that the customer only pays for work as it is completed.
  • Failure to provide the required deposit may result in delays in project initiation or scheduling. All deposit payments are non-refundable once materials have been ordered or work has commenced unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
Payment Terms
  • Services are deemed rendered upon completion of onsite services. The majority of our reports are available the same day (see delivery section above). Invoicing commences from the date of the last day onsite services were rendered.
  • Onsite services that require document generation prior to commencing onsite execution must be scheduled within (60) days of document delivery to customer for review. Quotes outside this timeframe may be closed out for billing of completed deliverables.
  • Net 30 days. Any invoice payment that is submitted after the due date stated on the invoice is subject to a finance charge, see applicable quote for rate, prices are subject to change without notice, unless otherwise agreed upon.
  • Extended Payment Terms: List Prices are based on standard NET30 Payment Terms. Quantus trends Customer “Average Days to Pay” (ADP) and reserves the right to adjust prices, in order to offset the cost of Customers extending their Days-To-Pay beyond our standard NET30 Terms. This evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis.
  • Premium Fees for Extended Payment Terms: The following premiums shall be applied to Quantus List Prices for Customers submitting payments greater than our standard NET30 Payment Term:
    • NET30 - List Price
    • NET45 - List Price + 5%
    • NET60 - List Price + 10%
    • NET75 - List Price + 15%
    • NET90 - List Price + 20%
  • Early payment and auto-pay discounts are available upon request, to Customers with good payment history.
  • Average Days-to-Pay (ADP) is reviewed quarterly. Quantus reserves the right to revise Customer Rate Cards for those exceeding the originally agreed-to payment terms, with no notice of change required. Rate Card pricing is reviewed and adjusted quarterly to align with the corresponding ADP tier, as illustrated in the chart above.
  • Quantus does not work with General Contractors that require payment contingencies beyond completion of services and submission of document deliverables. (i.e., Payment retention until GC’s receives client’s payment is no longer supported by Quantus.)
  • CREDIT: New customers begin with a favorable credit standing, receiving document deliverables immediately as they become available. Quantus reviews Accounts Receivables on a weekly basis and reserves the right to place a HOLD on report delivery if a customer fails to adhere to the agreed payment terms. Once reports are on HOLD, they will not be released until the overdue balance is settled in full. Future services may continue until management decides otherwise. A service HOLD will be initiated whenever a customer has a balance that is more than 30 days overdue. Quantus maintains regular communication with customers, understanding that there are various reasons for payment delays. A HOLD status may be lifted upon approval from executive management, provided the customer can furnish documented proof of an inbound payment (e.g., remittance or check number, alongside the payment amount and payment date).
  • GOOD CREDIT RESTORED: Credit standing is restored when a late-paying customer demonstrates consistent on-time payments, thereby returning their quarterly Average Days-to-Pay (ADP) to the originally agreed-upon payment terms. Typically, this restoration occurs over 1 or 2 quarters, depending on the customer's promptness in addressing the issues causing the payment delays.
  • Quantus accepts payments via all major credit cards with no additional fees charged. We offer a 0% transaction fee when using our payment portal. Request access to our payment portal by clicking this link: https://quantus.invoiced.com/login.
