6.3 Late Payments

Effective May 1, 2025: Any invoice balance that remains unpaid after its due date will be subject to a simple interest fee of 0.75% per week on the outstanding balance. This interest will be calculated for each full week that passes after the invoice due date and will be added to the invoice.

Example Calculation:

For an invoice of $1,000 that is 4 weeks overdue:

  • Principal amount: $1,000
  • Weekly interest rate: 0.75% (0.0075)
  • Weekly interest amount: $1,000 × 0.0075 = $7.50 per week
  • Total interest for 4 weeks: $7.50 × 4 = $30.00
  • Total amount due: $1,000 + $30.00 = $1,030.00

If you dispute any portion of an invoice, you must notify falcani in writing within 10 calendar days of receiving the invoice and provide detailed reasons for the dispute.
