To: Steady_on who wrote (12005 ) 8/25/2011 8:20:04 PM From: SteveF Respond to of 53574 My point is this.... what Isle Chem was doing for JBI was not a scientific research project for publication. Where you around when Islechem was first introduced? Even if they were truly independent they are a for-hire lab and I'm sure they did exactly what they were hired to do - we just don't know what that is, exactly. That story has had it's own evolution since Dec 2009. Islechem's Standard Terms and Conditions is worth a read, by the way:islechem.com 5. Reports: Where IsleChem's contract with Customer so provides, IsleChem shall give Customer a written report of the results of the tests and other services performed on Customer's behalf. The extent, nature, form and content of the report shall be determined by IsleChem, at its sole discretion. IsleChem assumes no responsibility for Customer's use or interpretation of the tests and other results and reports provided to it by IsleChem When requested, IsleChem will report preliminary test results by telephone or facsimile machine. Any turnaround time requested by Customer shall be considered to be satisfied with such contact. All such preliminary reports are subject to minor changes. Customer shall specify the recipient(s) of the preliminary reports and a telephone or facsimile number to which the reports shall be submitted. IsleChem will use its best efforts to attempt to contact the designated recipient(s) but is not responsible for delays resulting from the recipient's(s') failure to answer calls. Specialized reporting, including QA/QC, can be arranged if requested by Customer at a price determined by IsleChem 13. Indemnification:Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold IsleChem LLC, and its officers, directors and employees harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, including but not limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements arising out of or incurred in connection with (i) any project with respect to which IsleChem is providing consulting, compliance recording, analysis services, field sampling and analysis services, or other such services or (ii) Customer’s interpretation or use of the tests and other results and reports provided by IsleChem. This indemnification shall survive the termination or completion of services provided to Customer by IsleChem
