If you wish to purchase shifts for one particular experiment, we will send you a quotation for a specific number of hours or shifts (a shift is 8 hours of beam time).
The quotation includes terms and conditions regarding such issues such as scientific and technical assistance, confidentiality and data analysis.
The quotation also includes standard matters of payment, cancellations, liability and termination.
After the experiment is complete, we will send you an invoice.
If you accept the quotation,
NOTE! Return the Acknowledgment as soon as possible. We cannot begin preparing for your experiment until you return this form.
If you plan to carry out several experiment sessions, we will send you an "open" quotation that will cover all your sessions. This mechanism simplifies the paperwork considerably (both for you and for us) and can be easily adapted to your specific needs.
You may choose the frequency of invoicing – either at the end of each quarter, or after each experiment, as you prefer.
If you accept the quotation,
NOTE! Return the Acknowledgment as soon as possible. We cannot begin preparing for your experiment until you return this form.
Discounts are available if you need to access large amounts of beam time or ESRF services. Just reach out to us and ask for the options.
