- Monthly Fees
Your monthly service fee as determined by your support contract is due on the first day of each month. All payments are to be made by credit/debit card. A copy of the card information will be stored securely with our payment processor to facilitate timely payment. In the case of a returned or declined payment, a $60 late payment fee will be charged. If payment is late by more than 30 days, we reserve the right to cancel your support contract and collect payment for any remaining balances on the account. - Additional Service Fees
If additional services are requested that go beyond your normal website maintenance package, you will be notified prior to us attempting to complete the work and a proposal will be drafted. Upon acceptance of the proposal, your payment form on file will be charge a deposit of 50% of the estimated total in the proposal and work will begin. Once work is complete, you will be charged the remaining balance.

- Time allotment
Your monthly time allotment is determined by your support contract. The hours available to you are available on a monthly basis. If additional time is needed it can be requested at a discounted hourly rate if there is no time available in your “bank” (section 2.2) or available to “borrow” (section 2.3) - Banking Time
Any time not used from your allotted time for the month will be saved for up to six months to be used on future projects. This is a protection for you so that there is no worry about losing unused time. After 6 months, the time expires. - Borrowing Time
At any time, if a project requires additional service time that would exceed both your allotted time and your banked time, you may borrow time from future months of service. A maximum of six months of time can be borrowed at any given time. This time is repaid each month from your allotted monthly hours. If you choose to end your agreement, any remaining borrowed time will be billed at the standard hourly rate of $125 per hour.
