Any unpaid invoices (or any part thereof) will be considered past due after thirty (30) 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 ordering physician and/or clinic/hospital until the balance is paid in full.

The cut-off time for sample receipt in Lucence’s laboratory is 5.00pm on working days. Samples that arrived in our laboratory after 5.00pm shall only be accepted the following working day. As the performance of the tests 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 ordering physician informed if there are any unusual delays.
