Accounts not finalised after 15 days of invoice date a late fee will be applied, with further penalties applied after 29 days.

If payment has not been received within 30 days and no contact has been made with the client, it will be assumed the client does not wish to finalise the account and steps will be taken to recover costs and legal action may be taken.
