How can we establish NET payment terms with Labscoop?
If you work with a larger US-based government organization or an organization that currently utilizes Labscoop, NET terms will automatically be set for your account in accordance with the payment terms requested on the purchase order received from your organization. If, however, you are with an organization that has no prior history with Labscoop, based on the value of your order, our finance team will either determine that prepayment is required or provide your organization with a credit application to establish credit terms based on the credit worthiness. Due to the many factors involved, setting up NET terms can be established instantly upon receipt of your order or within 5-7 business days if the processing of a credit application is required.
