- The One Time
Set-up Charges plus the first calendar year ATSSC
Service Charge is due with purchase order. Actual
State Registration Fees for deposit into your Escrow
Account are invoiced separately and are due upon receipt.
- New or On-going projects are invoiced
when milestones are reached or monthly, whichever occurs
first. Invoices are due upon receipt.
- This Estimate is for the One
Time Set-up Charges and ATSSC
Service Charges only. This includes Set-up of Company
files, Product Information input to the State Registration
Data Base, and preparation of the necessary paperwork for
State Registration submission. This also includes continuous
monitoring and updating of State Forms and Fees Data Base
to stay current on changes in the State Fees, State Laws
and State Regulations.
- The ATSSC Service
Charges are fully earned once the paperwork has been
generated and prepared for submission. While ATSSC will
normally handle routine calls and requests from the individual
states, any excessive (more than ~30 minutes) time and expenses
are charged out at the normal Partner, Regulatory Specialist
or Regulatory Assistant rate, as per the current "Regulatory
and Laboratory Fee Schedule".
- The Client is responsible for all expenses,
including but not limited to: Actual State Registration
Fees, Penalties. Surcharges, Mill Taxes, Laboratory Charges,
Study Fees, Regulatory Formatting of Studies, Shipping &
Postage, Copying, Fax Charges, etc.
- The EPA and the various State Regulatory
authorities routinely conduct inspections and audits that
will sometimes yield some sort of violation or problem.
ATSSC will receive a call
or letter informing us of the violation or problem. Normally
ATSSC will log, handle
the matter and do whatever is necessary to satisfy the Regulatory
Authorities. This is usually accomplished at no extra charge
and without the Client's involvement. Occasionally, the
violation or problem will involve additional time, expense,
penalty and/or fine. As stated above, this is the Client's
responsibility and will be invoiced accordingly.
- However, if the problem was as a result
of an error made by ATSSC,
then the time, penalty and/or fine will be paid by ATSSC
up to a maximum of $1000. The amount above $1000 and what
would have been paid for the normal registration activities,
such as the Actual State Registration Fee, One Time Set-up
Charges, ATSSC Service
Charge, etc., will still be the responsibility of the Client.
- The Estimate is an educated guess of
how much time and expenses are necessary to complete the
project. The estimate is based upon figures and information
supplied by the Client. Invoices will be based upon the
actual services performed and expenses incurred.
- Some states, like California, Colorado,
New York and Florida, are very demanding in their review
of data and labels. The ATSSC
Service Charge includes the submission of the paperwork
only. Any other work required will be invoiced as per the
current "Regulatory and Laboratory
Fee Schedule".
- The ATSSC Service
Charge or Consulting Fees do NOT guarantee a favorable decision from
Regulatory Authorities. While we will follow up and work
for a favorable decision, Project Fees are fully earned
once the paperwork has been submitted. Any further lab work,
label drafts and/or resubmission paperwork would constitute
a new project and will be invoiced as per the current
"Regulatory and Laboratory Fee Schedule".
- The ATSSC Service
Charge does NOT guarantee that any testing or studies
will be favorable. Again, we will work with the Laboratory
and the Regulatory Authorities to gain favorable results.
The project fee is earned when copies of the test results
have been completed.
