3. Invoicing and Payment Guidelines
We provide clear billing terms to ensure smooth transactions for our Services.
- Invoicing: Invoices are issued based on the Service provided (e.g., one-time for web design projects, recurring for subscription-based SEO tools, or per-session for consultations). Invoices are delivered via email or accessible through your client portal.
- Payment Methods: We accept payments via credit/debit cards, ACH, wire transfers, or other methods specified at checkout or in your service agreement. You must provide valid payment information.
- Payment Due Date: Payments are due upon invoice receipt unless otherwise stated (e.g., net 15 or net 30 terms for project-based work). A seven (7) day grace period applies for processing.
- Recurring Subscriptions: For subscription-based Services (e.g., SEO tools), payments are billed in advance monthly or annually and renew automatically unless canceled at least three (3) days before the renewal date via your client portal or by emailing info@grouprb.com.
- Failed Payments: If a payment fails, we’ll attempt to charge your payment method up to three (3) times over seven (7) days, notifying you via email after each attempt.
- Deposits: For project-based Services (e.g., web design), a deposit (typically 50%) may be required before work begins, with the balance due upon completion or per agreed milestones.
4. Late Payments and Collections
Timely payments help us deliver exceptional Services. If payments are late, the following applies:
- Late Fees: Accounts unpaid after the grace period (7 days unless otherwise specified) will incur a late fee of $25 or 5% of the invoice amount, whichever is greater, applied every 10 days until paid.
- Service Suspension: For recurring Services, we may suspend access after 14 days of non-payment without notice. For project-based Services, work may be paused until payment is received. Suspension does not waive your payment obligations.
- Collections: Accounts unpaid for 30 days may be referred to a third-party collections agency. You’ll be responsible for all collection costs, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs, where permitted by law.
- Credit Reporting: Non-payment may be reported to credit bureaus, which could impact your credit score.

- Project-Based Services: Cancellation of web design or other project-based Services before completion may result in forfeiture of deposits or partial charges for work completed, as outlined in your service agreement.
- Consultations: Cancellations of scheduled consultations require 24 hours’ notice; otherwise, you may be charged the full session fee.
- Termination by Us: We may suspend or terminate your access to Services for non-payment, violation of these Terms, or suspected fraudulent activity, with or without notice.
