Lucence and the Customer may each be referred to in these Order Terms as a “Party”.
1. Services
1.1 Lucence provides test procedures on samples based on selected tests and provides test reports based on tests selected (the “Services”) to the Customer.
1.2 Lucence shall provide the Services from its laboratory located at 211 Henderson Road, #04-02 Henderson Industrial Park, Singapore 159552. Lucence shall ensure that the Services will be provided with reasonable skill and care in accordance with its usual quality assurance standards. Lucence shall take appropriate action necessary to obtain and/or renew its licence, certification and accreditation necessary to perform the Services.
2. Payment Terms
2.1 Lucence shall invoice the Customer at the end of each month in which the Services are provided, or at other times as may be agreed with the Customer.
2.2 Unless otherwise agreed between Lucence and the Customer, all payment to be made by the Customer to Lucence shall be paid without any demand, set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever; free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding of any taxes; and by cheque or by telegraphic transfer to the bank account as indicated by Lucence or such other account as may be designated by Lucence from time to time, with all bank charges to be borne by the Customer.
2.3 The Customer shall pay Lucence within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of Lucence’s invoice or within such other time period as may be agreed. If payment is received within ten (10) calendar days from the date of the invoice, the Customer shall be entitled to a discount of 1 percent (1%) on the total invoice amount. This discount shall be applied to the invoice amount prior to any taxes or additional charges.
2.4 If the test order is cancelled any time after receipt of sample by Lucence, Lucence reserves the right to charge a fee for work done, up to the total cost of the test.
2.5 Any unpaid invoices (or any part thereof) will be considered past due after thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date. Upon non-payment of any invoice rendered for the Services, Lucence reserves the right to discontinue providing the Services to the Customer until the balance is paid in full. Lucence shall also be entitled, without limiting any other rights it may have, to charge interest on the outstanding amount at the rate of 1.5 percent (1.5%) per month from the due date until the outstanding amount is paid in full. Such interest shall be compounded every thirty (30) calendar days until full payment of the overdue amount, including accrued interest, is received. Interest shall be calculated on the principal amount as well as any previously accrued interest. Lucence retains the right to waive interest and/or determine the allocation of payments, in its sole discretion.
3. No Guarantee or Warranty
3.1 SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, LUCENCE DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES IN RELATION TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.
3.2 All turnaround times for the Services provided by Lucence are an indicative guide only and are based on Lucence’s experience of the time taken for the majority of such test results to be delivered. As the performance of the Services may require the input of third parties and involve factors that are not within Lucence’s control, Lucence is unable to guarantee the turnaround time. However, Lucence shall keep the Customer informed if there are any unusual delays.
3.3 The cut-off time for sample receipt in Lucence’s laboratory is 5.00 pm on Business Days. Samples that arrived in Lucence’s laboratory after 5.00 pm shall only be accepted the following Business Day. ‘Business Day’ refers to Mondays – Fridays, 9.00 am – 6.00 pm only (Singapore Time), excluding Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and eves of public holidays.

4.1 Each Party shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, speculative or consequential damages whatsoever and howsoever resulting from or in connection with the Services, including without limitation any economic loss or other loss of turnover, revenue, profits, business, or goodwill of the other Party. This limitation of liability shall apply to all claims for damages irrespective of the legal grounds, including but not limited to tort, breach of contract and breach of duty prior to contract.
4.2 In any event and for the avoidance of doubt, Lucence shall not be liable to the Customer or be deemed to be in breach these Order Terms by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of its obligations in relation to the Services, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond Lucence’s reasonable control. Further, Lucence shall have no liability to the Customer for any losses, damages, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation arising from any information or instructions supplied by the Customer which is or are incomplete, incorrect or inaccurate.
4.3 In no event shall Lucence’s total liability to the Customer exceed in aggregate the total amount paid by the Customer for the Services rendered by Lucence hereunder twelve (12) months prior to the Customer’s claim. Any claim made by the Customer against Lucence shall be submitted within three (3) months after the subject matter giving rise to the claim has arisen, failing which any such claim will be void. On the other hand, the Customer’s total liability to Lucence shall be limited to the total value of the Services provided by Lucence. Nothing in this Clause limits or excludes either Party’s liability for any liability that cannot be legally limited or excluded by law.
5. Indemnity
The Customer shall be liable for all damages and losses which Lucence may suffer or incur arising from any act caused intentionally or negligently by the Customer, its officers or any other person employed by the Customer; and shall fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lucence and its related corporations or associated companies, employees, representatives, agents and officers from and against any claim, action, demand or complaint by any third party, including all liabilities, penalties, losses, costs, damages and expenses suffered or incurred by Lucence in connection with the use of the Services hereunder.
