1. Introduction
This Payment Policy explains how AttorneyWebsiteDesigners.com bills and collects payment for website design, development, and maintenance services. It should be read together with our Terms of Service, which govern all engagements.
2. Accepted Payment Methods
We accept payment by bank transfer/wire and by credit or debit card processed securely through Stripe. Payment details and instructions are provided in your project proposal or invoice.
3. Project-Based Payments
Website design and development projects are billed at fixed, flat-rate prices as stated in your project proposal. A deposit is required before work begins, with the remaining balance due upon project completion and prior to the site going live. No work is transferred, launched, or delivered until full payment has been received.
4. Monthly Maintenance & Hosting Billing
The website maintenance and hosting plan is billed at $97 per month. Billing begins on the date the plan is activated and recurs automatically on the same date each month until cancelled. You may cancel at any time with 30 days written notice, as described in our Terms of Service.
5. Invoicing
Invoices are sent by email to the billing contact provided at the start of your project. Please review each invoice promptly and contact us right away if you believe it contains an error.
6. Late Payments
Invoices not paid within 14 days of the due date may incur a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. For monthly maintenance plans, failure to pay within 7 days of the due date may result in suspension of hosting and maintenance services until the account is brought current. We are not liable for any downtime, data loss, or other consequences resulting from suspension due to non-payment.
7. Refunds and Cancellations
Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced. If a project is cancelled by the client after work has begun, the client is responsible for payment proportional to the work completed at the time of cancellation. Monthly maintenance and hosting fees already billed are non-refundable; cancelling the plan stops future billing once the required notice period has been served.
8. Currency and Taxes
All fees are quoted and billed in U.S. dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated in your proposal. Clients are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or bank/currency-conversion fees associated with their payment.
9. Disputed Charges
If you believe you have been charged in error, please contact us before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card provider, so we can review and resolve the issue directly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Payment Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date and, for active maintenance clients, communicated by email where the change is material.
