URGENT FILES
Please be specific about the time requirements – Rush, Urgent and ASAP can be ambiguous. If you are sending something urgent by courier, please advise us in advance so we can monitor its arrival. If you are sending us a large, time-consuming file, especially towards the end of the day, tell us so that we can schedule our staffing to give it the priority it requires.
CREDIT POLICY
All disbursements are made on the condition that we will be reimbursed promptly. All disbursements over $500 per invoice, are made on the understanding that they are covered by funds held in trust, and that in all instances, remittance will follow immediately. These disbursements are considered overdue if not received the next business day. All disbursements are conditional upon accounts being in good standing and complying with West Coast account and credit requirements.
As most accounts involve disbursements, accounts are due upon presentation of our statement and are overdue if not paid in 30 days. Overdue accounts are subject to a service charge of 2% per month (26.83% per annum) from the date of the invoice. A service charge of $35 will be applied to all NSF cheques.
