Schools booking our Professional Exam Marking Service will need to provide a school order number (purchase order number) for the exact quantity of assessment tasks being marked.  In the event that TSSM receives less than the booked quantity of assessment tasks, TSSM can invoice for the amount received down to a minimum of 85% of the booked quantity on the school order number, and no less. We offer a professional service and we make sure that an assessor is scheduled for a specific quantity of marking once booked by the school.  The invoice for this service will be issued after the completion of the service.

TSSM will at a minimum, express post all hard copy assessments back to the school.  By using our Professional Exam Marking Service schools, parents and students agree that TSSM is not responsible or liable for any lost mail or delivery.

Although usually not quoted, it is assumed that TSSM will invoice the client for Postage and Handling, to and from our assessors and back to the school, student or parent at a minimum flat rate of $25.95.
