All bills of sale from Norstat have a 15 days’ leniency period. Late payment incurs an additional debit of repo rate + 8 percentage points (per annum). Large projects (>15 000 EUR) will be invoiced in advance with 50% of the agreed amount at signed contract, and the remaining 50% at the completion of the project or transfer of data. A monthly billing is possible if the project exceeds 2 months, though this is only possible through agreement.

The quote is based on the exchange rate at the date of the offer. Norstat has the right to renegotiate/adjust the offer should the exchange rate fluctuate by more than 5% from the date of the offer.

At a cancellation of an agreed upon project the client will be billed 10% of the agreed price and the actual costs run up by the given date. At a delay of a project or project elements, the extra costs this results in for Norstat will be added to the bill.
