Billing, late fees, refusal to pay. Client understands, acknowledges and agrees that any request submitted to ATBS, whether by Client or a third-party representative of Client, will be subject to the following terms and procedures: Client acknowledges that any request that does not exceed two (2) hours may be completed by ATBS, at the sole discretion of ATBS, and billed at an hourly rate in fifteen (15) minute increments. Client understands, acknowledges and agrees that the rate or amount of time listed on a project is to be set and determined solely by ATBS. ATBS will invoice Client on a monthly basis for any unpaid labor and automatically charge Client’s credit card. Client agrees and fully authorizes ATBS to charge this open balance each month. Client acknowledges and agrees that unpaid balances will be subject to late fees and collection attempts. Further, Client acknowledges and agrees that refusal to pay any outstanding balance will result in immediate termination of all ATBS services.

  5. Client Responsibilities and Acknowledgements. Client agrees to properly convey to ATBS the information needed to complete a request. Client acknowledges and agrees that all requests are to be submitted through the ticketing system. Client agrees not to directly email an ATBS developer and, doing so, will result in additional fees.
