All Services estimates are provided with set allocations and limitations for materials and services. They are based on information provided by the requesting party as well as past experience from prior projects. If additional materials and / or services are required beyond the scope of the approved estimate, client agrees and preauthorizes up to 15% overage on the approved budget. Any work requiring more than a 15% overage on the total package will require written approval from an authorized person within your organization.

4. Payment

Payment terms will be specified in the project estimate provided by us to you. In the event that payment terms are not specified, the following conditions apply: A fifty percent (50%) down payment is required before work on any project begins. The remaining amount, including any overage, will be due once the project is complete. If the project extends over three months, work will be billed on a monthly basis. All payments should be made in US dollars.

Cancellations within 24 to 48 hours of scheduled start are charged 50% of estimated amount for entire time booked and 100% of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by us in preparation for completing your scheduled work. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice of scheduled start are charged 100% of the reserved time, equipment, and / or personnel services and 100% of any out-of-pocket expenses. Cancellations caused by labor strikes, accidents, weather, and other acts of God may, at our sole discretion, be exempt from the aforementioned cancellation fees.

If payment is overdue and / or you are in breach of your obligations as detailed in this document, we reserve the right to stop Services or withhold delivery of any finished product or provided materials until payment is made. In applying this right, you agree that we will not be liable for any loss you and/or your affiliates may suffer.
