Quotes and Orders

Quotations will be valid for 30 days from the date on the quotation. All time frames listed on quotes are in standard working days (Mon-Fri, excluding holidays). All shipments are FOB nbTec’s offices. All claims against the carrier must be made by the customer. Fabrication and assembly turn times stated in the quote are calculated in 24 hour periods upon receipt of a PO plus one day for nbTec to inspect and ship the product.

Prices in quotations may, if stated as such, be budgetary for the benefit of the Customer to project the total cost of the project. nbTec will use its previous history and best judgment to determine the material, layers, and technologies necessary to estimate accurate pricing. Final pricing can only be determined at the completion of the design phase. Many factors will affect the final pricing including changes to the design, material selection and availability, and technologies used in the design thus nbTec makes no claim these prices will be accurate at the time of final pricing.

nbTec works with customers in emerging and fast paced markets and understand development changes may occur during the layout project. Minor changes in the schematic may not incur additional charges but all changes will be reviewed to determine if it is necessary to re-quote the project.

Cancellation

Order cancellation must be done in writing. Customer will be invoiced for the work performed, up to 100% of the project cost dependent upon the work performed and the phase of the project at the time of cancellation.

Payment

Payment is due according to the terms extended. Payments not received by the due date shall incur interest charges of 1.5% per month on the unpaid balance. The Customer shall also reimburse nbTec for the reasonable expenses incurred in collecting any past due sums.
