It is the Vendor's responsibility to ensure that TruCert receives the full invoiced amount in their accounts. All banking fees and conversion losses are the Vendor's responsibility and, if they occur, will result in delays, as the provision of the CEC Assessment will only commence once the full amount has been received. It is highly recommended that the Vendor selects to pay in the invoiced currency and to bear all banking costs when instructing their bank. Checks and similar means of payment are not accepted. Any missing amounts will be reminded by CEC Admin to the Vendor and provision of the CEC Assessment will be delayed until any outstanding amounts, even if small, have been paid.
