​

Payments & Billing

  • Initial one-hour consultation is complimentary.

​

  • Final proofreading and checking of all work supplied is the responsibility of the customer.

​

  • The customer understands Ouma’s estimated time and cost for completing the work is an informal calculation and that any adjustments to the amount of work, schedule and/or the number of hours and fees is subject to review and renegotiation with the client when necessary.

​

  • Any errors must be reported within three (3) days of receipt of completed work. Errors generated by Ouma will be rectified free of charge, but amendments or alterations requested by the customer thereafter will be charged at the standard hourly rate.

​

  • Should ongoing project work be suspended or delayed through any default of the customer, Ouma shall be entitled to immediate payment for work already carried out and expenses incurred.

 

  • If the project is based on an hourly rate, then a minimum invoice amount is for one hour and the hourly rate is billed in increments of 1 hour.

​

  • Customers will be invoiced either after an individual assignment is completed or on an ongoing monthly basis – payment frequency to be agreed between both parties when the task is assigned. For ongoing monthly retained work Ouma requires the setup of a direct debit.

​

  • First time customers will initially be invoiced after four (4) weeks then all subsequent invoices will be at the frequency agreed.

​

  • Invoices are to be settled within fourteen (14) days upon the delivery unless otherwise agreed. The final invoice shall include billable time, reimbursable expenses, and any other fees related to the work.

​

  • Billable time includes meetings outside of contracted hours and includes the writing and/or reading of correspondence sent by mail or email.

​

  • All costs incurred on behalf of the customer, including but not limited to; social media ads, other forms of advertising, postage, printing and other stationery expenses, will be added to the invoice for reimbursement.

​

​

  • Once an invoice becomes more than 15 days overdue, no further work will be undertaken, and the customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate at the relevant time. Such interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. Ouma may choose to charge statutory interest due. The customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. To avoid such charges, please setup a direct debit.
