2. FEES, RATES, AND PAYABLES

Our Agency fees for services are influenced by a number of factors, including the time required, the level of expertise and skill demanded, the size and difficulty of the assignment, and the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances. Invoices for our services are generally emailed to you on a weekly basis, and will include the time spent by our representatives on the matter, as well as reimbursement for costs incurred.

Our Agency, as a whole, works at a standard hourly rate, which is influenced by a number of factors, including experience, skill, expertise and demand in the marketplace. Hourly rates are adjusted from time to time – generally, once a year – and may change during the course of our representation. We attempt to provide notice before any such change.

The costs for which you will be charged may include, when applicable, software licensing and the purchase of stock photography; meetings with client, telephone calls, word processing, messaging either by chat message or by text message, emailing, and other forms of communication; staff overtime when appropriate; computer research; computer design, hand drawn design, or any other design service; computer programming, website programming, and other forms of web development; server maintenance, server customization, server loss prevention, and all other server related services; photography and videography; other professional fees; travel and meal expenses; vendor fees; and other miscellaneous costs. Certain costs, such as telephone charges, are sometimes not available until subsequent months, in which case a supplemental bill will be rendered, or an estimated amount will be included in the initial bill and an adjustment made when the actual charges are known.

We require your company to keep a valid credit card on file with our invoicing software to make payments on invoices, or to pay any outstanding invoices.

For the first 90 days of this agreement, payment will be required within seven (7) days of each invoice. Automatic payments will be applied to the valid credit card we have on file for your company.

After 90 days, all bills are payable upon representation and are considered delinquent if not paid within fifteen (15) days of issuance, unless otherwise specified on invoice. If a bill is not timely paid, we may cease to render further services or, in the case of providing hosting services, may shut down any provided services until the delinquent bill is paid in full.

A late fee of $25 per month, plus an additional service fee of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month will be added to the unpaid amount of any delinquent bill, for each month the invoice or any portion thereof, remains unpaid.
