Timely Payment
Our standard contract calls for "Net 14" which means that payment is due within 14 days of receipt of an invoice. Normally our clients pay immediately. We can synchronize our invoices to coincide with your payroll/accounting cycle. We generally do not agree to terms like "Net 60". Non-standard payment terms will be documented in contract and only under circumstances where we're confident in extending credit. If your payment is overdue, you can use the calculator at the US Treasury website to estimate the interest due.
