Payment Methods
The new SCIMS Online will have an integrated e-commerce application that will allow organisations an option of payment methods. Current SCIMS Online user organisations have been categorised by previous spending patterns. Organisations with an average total monthly accounts of <$20 will only have the option to pay by credit card. Organisations with an average total monthly accounts of >$20 will have the option to pay by credit card or monthly account.
Account Customers
E-commerce arrangements for SCIMS purchases if total purchases for a month exceed $20.00, an account will be issued monthly. If total SCIMS purchases for a month do not exceed $20.00, an account will be issued when purchases reach $20.00, or quarterly, whichever occurs first.
As access to SCIMS Online is based on an individual SIX-SSP user account and the download of some data attracts fees each SIX-SSP user account will be linked to an organisation’s LPI financial account.
It will be the organisation's responsibility to inform LPI of the current individuals with SIX-SSP access that can be linked to their LPI financial account and in the future any changes to staff.
The monthly invoice will be fully itemised ie all searches will be listed and data will include Date/time SCIMS Transaction number, Client reference, SIX-SSP account name and cost.
