Billing Policy: Invoices are presented as the file progresses and are due in full when presented. Outstanding accounts are billed on a monthly basis, with payment due within 30 days. Balances beyond 30 days are assessed an interest charge of 1.5% per month, calculated from the date of the original invoice. All collection costs, including any legal fees or expenses, are the responsibility of the client and will be added to the client's principal and subject to the monthly 1.5% interest charge.

Evidence billing policy: Evidence storage is available by FILE Forensics, Inc. An evidence storage fee, charged in one month increments, is based on the size/volume of the evidence. The storage fee is paid in advance. Storage fees will be billed every six months.  At that time, or at any time, in writing, the client can direct FILE Forensics to transfer or discard the evidence. If FILE Forensics is assessed a disposal fee, as for major household appliances and air conditioners, this fee will be applied against any unused portion of the storage fee or will be billed to the client. Any unused portion of the storage fee, in full unused month increments, will be refunded. If the client directs FILE Forensics in writing to discard the evidence, FILE Forensics is not responsible for future litigation arising from disposal of the evidence, and the burden shall lie on the client who gave the direction.
