RARS.NET offers synthesis services across four primary tiers, each calibrated to the operational requirements, risk tolerance, and administrative patience of the subscribing entity. Pricing is determined on a per-engagement basis and reflects regional infrastructure costs, compliance overhead, and a margin that the Finance Division describes as "appropriate."
Published pricing is not available. All figures are region-dependent, negotiation-sensitive, and subject to adjustment during the contract period based on factors including but not limited to: synthesis volume, incident proximity, compliance posture, and the outcome of periodic cost recalibration exercises.
Each tier includes a defined feature set. Features may be added, removed, or redefined at any point during the service period.
Service pricing is calculated using the RARS.NET Cost Allocation Model (CAM), which incorporates infrastructure costs, regional overhead, compliance administration fees, incident reserve contributions, and a portfolio of surcharges whose names and amounts are disclosed during contract negotiation. The CAM is recalculated annually, or more frequently when recalculation would result in higher fees.
Pricing quotes are valid for thirty (30) days from issuance, after which a new quote must be requested. The new quote may differ from the original due to market conditions, CAM recalculations, or the passage of time, which is itself considered a cost factor. Volume discounts may be available but are assessed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed to result in lower prices. In some cases, higher volumes trigger additional compliance requirements whose costs exceed the discount.
Entities seeking pricing information should submit a Service Inquiry through the Support portal. Inquiries are responded to within 10-15 business days. Inquiries that include the phrase "can you just tell me the price" are routed to a specialized queue.
Regardless of tier selection, all subscribers are subject to the full RARS.NET Compliance Framework, including Addendum B. Tier selection affects the level of service and support provided but does not reduce, modify, or excuse any compliance, retention, or monitoring obligation. Downgrading to a lower tier does not reduce the compliance obligations accumulated at the higher tier. There is no "compliance reset."
