We will not act until we have obtained a client's signature authorising us to provide the requested service, whereupon a contract exists between the parties. Accounts will be invoiced 7 days after the provision of the service and settlement is due 14 days thereafter as we may have advanced considerable sums of money to third parties. We reserve the right to charge interest of 3% per month (APR 42.75%) on all accounts outstanding for more than 28 days from the date of invoice. Usually we request the advance payment of disbursements, sometimes direct to the third-party supplier. We accept most national and international debit and credit cards. We reserve the right to charge interest on account balances outstanding for more than 28 days.
