Please fill out the form 1 which is available here.  Send the completed form (no fax) as an attachment by email to the following address: sasforreach@sasforreach.eu. It is kindly requested to save the completed form as a working document under Adobe Reader XI. If it is not possible to save the form as a working document please use the field 7. “Additional information” for additional data or text which does not fit into the given boxes(e.g. Address, UUID). Please also add the requested data in the form 2 which is available here; these data will be used for a compliance check with the EU sanctions regime. The data will be checked by an independent auditor; only the auditor as well as the lawyers and the manager of the Consortium will handle this information. The consortium management will prepare the invoice and the Letter of Access agreement. You will receive the signed agreement as a pdf. Please print out the pdf, sign it and send the countersigned document as a pdf by email back to sasforreach@sasforreach.eu After receiving the signed agreement from you, you will receive the invoice as a pdf via email from the account holder. The invoice needs to be paid within 30 days of issuance, i.e., the date on which the pdf version was sent. If no payment is received within this period, you will receive a payment reminder which will be sent by courier. The payment reminder will clearly state that the LoA agreement will become null and void if no payment is received within 30 days of receipt of the payment reminder by the client. If you have not paid the invoice in due time, but nevertheless wish to sign a new agreement, the Consortium will charge an additional fee (€ 2,000) to recover the additional expenses; this amount will be added to the price stated in the new contract. In this case, the same procedure as described above would apply. The original invoice will be cancelled and a new invoice for the higher amount will be issued. Once the manager has received a confirmation about the payment of the consideration from the account holder (a copy or screenshot of your bank transfer is not sufficient) you will receive the registration package including • a Letter of Access (Annex 1 to the agreement, pdf) to the technical part of the dossier (parts 4 – 13), • the Chemical Safety Report (CSR,  pdf), • the token for the registration. You will receive the signed Letter of Access (Annex 1) as a pdf. Please print out the pdf, sign it and send the countersigned document as a pdf by email back to sasforreach@sasforreach.eu  Please download the NDA from the webpage and send a signed pdf copy via email back to the manager to the following address: sasforreach@sasforreach.eu  Depending on your role, please use either the NDA version for OR/TPR or the version for producers/importers.
