EUROPATIS offers a customized service adjusted to the users needs.
Therefore it is neither suitable nor possible to have a single fixed pricing
policy. Please contact EUROPATIS for a price estimate for your request.
A special request form is available on demand in order to describe the
search to be done. This form specifies the technical field, type of search
or objective and a description of the subject matter. Upon receipt of this
completed form EUROPATIS will propose a price estimate. When the
client agrees with this proposal and a signed search order is received by
EUROPATIS, the search will be performed.
