Alternatively, if GIA has granted Client credit terms, then GIA will invoice Client following performance of Services, and Client shall pay all invoiced amounts pursuant to the payment terms specified in the invoice. In addition, if Client submits Articles to a GIA Lab Direct Program Participant for submission to GIA for the performance of Services, then GIA may invoice the price due for such Services to the GIA Lab Direct Program Participant and such GIA Lab Direct Program Participant may pay such prices. In such event, Client will pay to the GIA Lab Direct Program Participant the prices for the Services as agreed between Client and the GIA Lab Direct Program Participant. Client acknowledges that Client is responsible for payment of all such prices for such Services if the Lab Direct Program Participant does not pay GIA for such Services, including without limitation whether or not Client paid the GIA Lab Direct Program Participant.

If Client paid for Services (1) prior to Articles being delivered to GIA or (2) at the time Articles are delivered to GIA, then Client will pay the estimated prices. If the estimated price paid by Client is less than the actual price, Client will pay the difference. If the estimated price paid by Client was greater than the actual price, then Client will be entitled to a refund or a credit.

CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT GIA MAY NOT BE PERMITTED TO RETURN TO CLIENT AN ARTICLE WHILE THE ARTICLE HAS A LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVITY IN EXCESS OF SUCH STANDARDS, THAT GIA MAY BE OBLIGATED TO TRANSFER THE ARTICLE TO AN ENTITY AUTHORIZED TO RECEIVE IRRADIATED ARTICLES, AND THAT GIA WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ARTICLE.

the technology used by GIA for testing Articles for synthetics, treatments, processing, and the like are subject to change, evolving and include certain subjective elements, and (b) the ways in which an Article might be treated or processed are changing and dynamic and are becoming more sophisticated. As a result, it might not be possible in all cases to determine whether an Article has been processed or treated using GIA’s then-current techniques and technology and GIA makes no representations or warranties to Client in this regard. GIA shall not have any liability to Client or any third party for GIA’s failure to detect whether an Article has been processed or treated or for GIA’s inaccurate determination that an Article was treated or processed. If Client submits an Article to GIA and does not disclose to GIA in writing at the time of submission that such Article is synthetic or that it has been treated or processed, then GIA may, in its discretion, charge Client GIA’s then-current fees in accordance with GIA’s then-current fee structure/schedule for testing the Article to determine if it is synthetic, treated, or processed.
