Late
Payments
|
Each overdue invoice, as per our Terms Of Payment above, is subject to all of the following:
- Late Payment Fee equivalent to 1-hour charge at our regular rate, plus GST, per each overdue invoice. This fee goes towards the cost of our time dealing with late payment, at one hour minimum. It is due and payable on the day of each invoice becoming overdue.
- Interest of 3% per month, compounded monthly, which is an equivalent of Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 42.6% per year in accordance with Section 4 of the federal Interest Act. When this interest compounds every month, it applies to the total balance, including previous compounded balance, previous Late Payment Fees, any other Fees, and Interest. Interest starts accruing on the day when the first invoice becomes overdue and continues to compound and apply to the balance as more charges are added or payments subtracted.
- All Collection Costs are charged to the Client, including but not limited to full Legal Fees, and other associated expenses, if any.
- Any partial payments are credited towards interest first, then fees, then principal balance.

This charge is due and payable on the day when the payment failed or discovered to be dishonored, whichever comes first. All Collection Costs and full Legal Fees, if any, are charged extra.
