    3. RX shall perform the Services, and the Client shall pay RX the fees (Fees) in accordance with these Terms and Conditions (Terms).
    4. These Terms apply to all instructions provided by a Client to RX, and all work carried out by RX for a Client.
    5. If a Client consists of more than one person, these Terms binds them jointly and each of them severally.
    6. Where a Client is a company, trust, or other entity, the person or persons engaging RX on behalf of the Client personally warrant(s) that that person or those persons have the power to bind the Client, and that the Client will perform its obligations under these Terms.
    7. Every time the Client uses RX Services it is deemed to be reconfirmation of the Client’s agreement to the Terms.

  2. FEES AND PAYMENT

    1. The Client will pay all Fees invoiced by RX within 7 days following the receipt of invoice.  Subscription based Clients will also set up a monthly automatic payment to pay their monthly subscription Fees.
    2. RX will set Fees based on a number of factors, including RX’s assessment of the time involved, expertise required and the urgency of Client instructions.  For ongoing matters, Fees may be reviewed and amended by RX as notified to the Client from time to time.
    3. RX may provide an estimate of costs to the Client for providing the Services from time to time (Estimate).  If an Estimate has been provided, the terms of that Estimate can be varied at the sole discretion of RX up until the work to be carried out is commenced, and can be further varied if any circumstance arise that were unforeseen or which increases the cost to RX of carrying out such work (whether of the client’s making, that of a third party and/or otherwise).
    4. RX may ask the Client to pre-pay Fees. RX may do this, on reasonable notice, at any time. Reasons for doing so may include having difficulty with getting payment in the past (which is only fair), the nature of the work, the amount of money RX will expend in providing the Services, or if the Client not worked with RX in the past.
    5. Where an estimate has not been provided, or where RX has been asked to complete work that is outside or in addition to the scope of an estimate, RX will charge a rate of $120 per hour for work completed in the RX office, and $165 per hour for all work completed outside of the RX office.
    6. RX may incur costs in providing the Services for the Client. For example, RX may be required to incur printing costs when printing product or other promotional material, or hosting or content fees when creating websites.  The Client will be responsible to reimburse RX for all costs incurred by RX in providing the Services, and RX is entitled to charge an additional fee equivalent to 10% of those costs incurred.
    7. Any expenses, disbursements and legal costs incurred by RX in the enforcement of any rights contained in this contract shall be paid by the Client, including any reasonable solicitors’ fees or debt collection agency fees.
    8. All sums payable by the Client shall be made in full without set-off or counterclaim and, except to the extent required by law, free and clear of any deduction on account of tax or otherwise.  A dispute, mediation, or arbitration, between RX and the Client, does not entitle the Client to set off against, or withhold payment of, any money owed to RX.
    9. If the Client fails to pay any amount due under these Terms, RX may without prejudice to its other rights require the Client to pay interest on the amount due from the due date until the date of payment, at a rate equal to 5% above the current overdraft rate that RX has with its principal banker (in addition to the Client remaining liable for the full amount outstanding).
