Check bundles: several reports at once, at a discount
Updated October 12, 20262 min read
A check bundle is N uses of one product, bought in advance and spent whenever you need them. You do not pick vessels at the moment of purchase: deals arrive one at a time, and nobody has the list up front.
Bundles are sold for each of the three documents: vessel dossier, full inspection report, shipowner report.
Sizes and discounts
| Bundle size | Discount |
|---|---|
| 5 checks | 5% |
| 10 checks | 10% |
Bundles are paid by card in US dollars, the same way as single documents.
How the checks are owned and when they expire
A bundle belongs to the organisation, not to a person: one member buys, every member spends. The check is used by whoever needs it now, not only by whoever paid.
There is no expiry: the discount is for volume, not for haste. A check with a deadline turns a saving into a trap.
Checks are spent oldest batch first. The balance sits in Screening → Reports and dossiers under the product it belongs to — the line "Checks paid for: N". The monthly plan quota, where a product has one, sits in the same place as "In your plan: N of M this month".
How a check is consumed
When you order a document, the system decides what to draw on, in this order:
- The plan's monthly quota, if you have one and it is not used up;
- A purchased check from a bundle;
- A one-off payment, if neither is left.
On a vessel page, a bundle check is spent only after you confirm it. If you have a bundle for the dossier or the full inspection report, the button reads Build the dossier — from bundle or Order from bundle, and the card shows how many checks are left. Pressing it opens a step: the check is spent by Confirm and use my bundle, and Cancel goes back without spending anything. If the bundle runs out while the step is open, no order is created: a warning with the price appears above the button, and checkout opens only on the next press.
If the document cannot be built, the check returns to your balance: you will not pay twice for one document.
A bundle check does not apply to the combined "dossier + inspection report" order — that combination is paid for directly.
