For example, we cannot guarantee that the value of your business or revenues will go up as a result of our Services, as that is dependent on the market and many other factors that are outside our control.
   2. You understand that our Services are not to be used as a substitute for professional advice such as financial, tax or legal advice. You must seek independent professional guidance on such matters. You agree that all decisions and actions in these areas are exclusively your responsibility.

This rate applies after as well as before any judgement. We may also charge a monthly administration fee of $250.00 as a genuine cost to our business for chasing up late payments.
