| Advance Payment: |
Projects are normally started upon receipt of an advance payment. The amount will vary with each project. Normally we receive the full payment for:
1) pilot projects
2) design and analysis reports
3) small projects |
| How and Where to Pay: |
We will provide the information so that you can wire payments to our bank or mail a check to our bank. Wiring is the normal means by which most businesses make their payments. |
| International Monetary Conversions: |
Money transferred into an American bank must be converted into the correct dollar amount agreed upon. (Fluctuating exchange rates can result in a deficit in the amount transferred.) |
| Invoice Schedule: |
We send invoices by e-mail on or near the 1st and 15th of each month for time & material projects. Fixed price projects are billed according to schedule and are often on a go or no-go basis. |
| Payment Schedule: |
Payments must be made within three days of receiving the e-mail invoice. We greatly appreciate notification on the day that the payment was wired. |
| Hourly Rates: |
For Projects that are billed by the hour, we expect payment at the end of a billing period rather than at the end of a phase of work at a scheduled target date. |
