Specimen Collection Supplies containing specimens that are received by the FullMetrics Laboratory will be processed within the FullMetrics Laboratory’s own processing time frame limiting the ability of Client to cancel processing.
B9. FullMetrics will provide free replacement of (or parts of) Self-Administered Specimen Collection Supplies under the following circumstances: (i) Self-Administered Specimen Collection Supplies are lost in transit either from the fulfilment center to the Collection Active User, or from the Collection Active User to the FullMetrics Laboratory as confirmed by a tracking number, (ii) if agreed upon on an Order Form, if Client can reasonably prove that a Collection Active User has complied with the collection instructions provided with the Self-Administered Specimen Collection Supplies (the “Collection Instructions”) and there is nonetheless ‘quantity not sufficient’ (QNS) determination by a FullMetrics Laboratory, (iii) Self- Administered Specimen Collection Supplies are missing items resulting from incorrect fulfilment (replacement items to be sent within two (2) business days of FullMetrics receiving notification from Client of the missing items), or (iv) there is an error during the processing of Testing at the FullMetrics Laboratory not caused by a Collection Active User (replacement Self-Administered Specimen Collection Supplies will be sent within three (3) business days of identification of error at the FullMetrics Laboratory).
