Payment Terms and Conditions

Welcome to our Payment Terms and Conditions page. By engaging in our appraisal services, you agree to the following terms related to invoicing, payment schedules, and late payment consequences. We strive to provide exceptional services and appreciate prompt payments to maintain the highest service standards.

1. Payment Schedule

All invoices issued by our company are due prior to the release of the appraisal report unless explicitly stated otherwise in the service agreement. Payment in full within this period ensures that there are no interruptions to services or unnecessary administrative follow-up.

2. Accepted Payment Methods

We accept payments by:

Bank transfers
Credit cards for an additional fee
Checks
E-transfers

Please ensure that all payments reference your invoice number for accurate processing. Any fees associated with payment processing, including but not limited to bank transfer fees, are the client’s responsibility.

3. Obligation to Pay Post-Inspection

Once an inspection has been completed, the client is obligated to remit the full fee as per the agreement. This is due regardless of the appraisal outcome, as the inspection and reporting constitute the core of our service. We thank you for understanding that our work begins with the inspection and involves detailed analysis and reporting.

4. Cancellation and Rescheduling Fees

If you need to cancel or reschedule your service, we require at least 24 hours’ notice. Failure to provide adequate notice will result in the following fees:

Cancellation Fee: A cancellation fee of $35 will be charged if the cancellation occurs within 24 hours of the scheduled inspection.
Rescheduling Fee: There is no rescheduling fee provided that adequate notice has been given.

Once the inspection has been completed, cancellation is not permitted, and the full fee will be charged.

5. Late Payment Terms

Payments not received within the designated payment period will be considered overdue. For overdue payments, the following charges will apply:

Late Payment Fee: A flat fee of $35 will be added to cover administrative costs associated with managing overdue accounts.
Interest Charge: A monthly interest charge of 2% (equivalent to 24% annually) will be applied to any outstanding balance. This interest is calculated based on the overdue balance at each monthly billing cycle following the original due date.

These charges encourage timely payment and enable us to continue offering our services at the highest standard.

6. Collection Fees and Legal Costs

In the event of prolonged non-payment, we reserve the right to pursue collection through a third-party collection agency. If this becomes necessary:

All costs associated with collection, including but not limited to agency fees, administrative expenses, legal fees, and court costs, will be added to the client’s outstanding balance.
The client agrees to bear these additional fees as part of their contractual obligation to our company.

7. Disputed Charges

If you believe there is an error or discrepancy in your invoice, please contact us within 15 days of the invoice date. We are committed to resolving any issues promptly; however, disputes raised after this period may not be considered, and all charges will remain due as invoiced.

8. Termination of Services

In cases of overdue payments exceeding 60 days, we reserve the right to suspend ongoing services or terminate the engagement. This action will only be taken when necessary and with prior notice to the client. Continued non-payment may affect eligibility for future services.
