In particular, depending on your relationship with the vendor/factory, you may want to delete or modify the sections that state who is responsible for the cost of late/rush or other booking fees, and for the costs of re-inspections in case of a FAIL result. In any case, you must send an introduction to the factory/vendor with InTouch in copy in order for us to get started.
