Late Payment Policy
Last Updated: June 12, 2025
1. Payment Terms
Invoices are due upon receipt.
For remote services (RON, live scan, etc.), payment is required prior to session start.
For in-person services, payment is due at the conclusion of the appointment.
2. Late Fees
Payments not received within 7 days will incur a $25 service fee, plus 1.5% monthly interest (18% annual rate).
Florida law authorizes standard, reasonable late fees so long as they're disclosed in advance.
3. Collection Procedures
Reminder sent at Day 7 (invoice + late fee).
Final notice at Day 14-service withheld until account is cleared.
After Day 30, invoice referred to a small-claims collection agency; client responsible for collection costs.
4. Service Restrictions
Clients with outstanding balances will not be serviced until full payment + late fees are received.
Invoice disputes must be raised within 5 days of billing or are forfeited.
5. Governing Law
This policy operates under Florida Statutes, particularly the cap on notarization fees.
