efforts extended and supplies shipped exceeds 6% of the total Budget, an invoice will be presented for those fees.
D.12 Approval of Fee and Period in Force
Upon receiving confirmation from The Sponsor that the project has been awarded to QLAB, QLAB will implement project initiation activities as outlined previously in Sections A.2 and D.7. If there is a substantive change in the expected number of investigators, number or schedule of visits, testing requirements, anticipated commencement date, length of project or overall protocol specific database design, QLAB will revise the Budget to reflect the increase or decrease in the scope of work. Otherwise, the fees will remain in effect for 12 months from the date study kits were first forwarded to investigator sites. QLABs fee schedule will be subject to review on an annual basis and will be increased for the next 12 month period based upon the greater of four percent (4%) or the average percentage change in the wages/earnings survey as published in the Economist (or as reported at www.economist.com) over the preceding twelve (12) month period. In the unforeseen event of governmentally mandated changes or transportation industry regulation changes which require significant changes in the conduct of the clinical laboratory industry, QLAB will contact The Sponsor if there will be any cost impact on the study in progress. Additionally, any fuel surcharges, tariffs or import duties imposed on QLAB for courier services will be passed through to The Sponsor on the monthly invoice.
D.13 Currency Exchange
The currency to be used for invoice and payment shall be the currency stated in the Budget attached to this CCLS (the Contracted Currency). If a currency referenced within the Budget is replaced by the Euro or otherwise ceases to become legal tender, the applicable replacement currency will be substituted for such currency for the purposes of this clause using the conversion rate established at www.oanda.com. The Sponsor acknowledges that, due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, QLABs actual fees & pass-through costs may be greater or lesser than the budgeted or estimated amounts contained in this CCLS.
If QLAB incurs pass-through costs in a currency other than the Contracted Currency, then The Sponsor shall reimburse QLAB for QLABs actual costs in the Contracted Currency based on the Oanda foreign currency exchange rate for the applicable currencies on the last business Friday of the month.
If this CCLS involves the performance of Services by QLAB or its affiliates in any country that uses a currency other than the Contracted Currency, then the Budget for those services will be based on the local rates in the currency used by QLAB for pricing in that country, but converted to and reflected in the Contracted Currency. If the fees for Services under this CCLS exceed $200,000, and the conversion rate between the local currencies and the Contracted Currency has fluctuated more than 2% plus or minus, since the budget was prepared, QLAB may calculate a foreign currency exchange adjustment. The adjustment will be calculated every six (6) months
