Each quote is non- committal; it will be valid during 30 business days of receipt by the client, unless agreed otherwise. 2. Payment Terms Our pricing offer is considered as accepted once we have received the signed quote and deposit (see below) from the client. I - A deposit of 30% of the project quotation total is payable on acceptance of the quote, prior to work commencing, and 20% upon acceptance of the draft. Please note that work shall not start until the full settlement of the said deposit. II - The remainding 50% will be due upon completion of work, prior to upload to the Web Host, unless agreed otherwise. However, we grant to the client, a 10 business day extension from the date of invoice, to pay the balance due. III - Invoices are sent via e-mail in PDF format, fax or postal mail according to the client's wishes. All payments to STDesign4U may be made by cash, check, bank wire, money transfer (Western Union) or postal order. IV - During the project, we will require the client to provide necessary copy and images according to the signed quote. If such content is not provided within 30 business days from the date of receipt of both signed quote and said deposit, we reserves the right to invoice the client for work completed to that date. 3. Termination of Services I - Termination of services by the client must be requested in a written notice and will be effective on receipt of such notice; the deposit is refundable at the time of termination only if the termination notice has been received by STDesign4U within 24 hours following the receipt of the said deposit. II - If the client terminates the services after STDesign4U has started work, the client will be invoiced, whatever the reason, for work performed to the date of receipt of the termination notice. The minimum amount of such invoice will be equivalent to the said deposit. 4. Payment Default I - Invoice unpaid 10 business days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. A friendly reminder will be adressed to the client. II - Invoice that remains unpaid 5 business days following the date of receipt of the reminder will be handed over to an attorney.
