If you request additional services or work to be included during the term of our agreement with you, we may charge you additional fees for those items.
1.3 By accepting these terms, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms.
2.1 The Fees payable by you are listed in the Proposal and Agreement Document at the time of completing your purchase. If applicable, you agree to pay an amount sufficient to cover Taxes or GST (if in Australia).
2.2 Upon request, we will issue an invoice for each payment.

2.5 Fees once paid are not refundable.
