Invoices and payments

Laboratories and sponsors are invoiced in the beginning of each year. Participation fees are based on modules, not individual tests. There is no tax on health benefits in Denmark, so invoice amounts are tax exempt. Invoices are sent to the email addresses specified in the user profile, but also available in the user control center.

Deadline for payment is indicated in the invoice. Payment is indicated in DKK and EUR. However, any convertible currency is accepted. Fee is non-refundable. If the amount is not paid by deadline, an electronic reminder will be sent to all the e-mail addresses indicated. Laboratories neither paying the fee invoiced nor responding to a reminder will have their participation closed until the account is settled.

NordiQC is a not-for-profit organization. Rates indicated in the table below only cover running cost. For this reason, discounts are not available. Apart from new participants, laboratories can only participate on an annual basis paying the fee indicated above (fees are not reduced if a laboratory does not stock an antibody or omits to submit protocols or return slides).

Laboratories sponsored by organizations, producers and distributors are welcome as participant. NordiQC will send invoices to sponsors but individual assessment will not be sent to sponsors (unless requested by the participant). As part of the public health system in Denmark, NordiQC is no longer sponsored by producers or distributors. However, NordiQC collaborate with a large number of producers and vendors to improve the quality of immunohistochemistry. Collaborators have no influence on methods, results or conclusions.

Payment can be made by bank transfer or cheque. At the moment credit cards are not accepted. Bank transfers should be marked with invoice number and subaccount 88.38 NordiQC 4202HK. Cheques should be made payable to: NordiQC, Aalborg University Hospital and quoting the invoice number.
