Payment of Fees

When a request for service is approved, CCI will contact the client to discuss the scope of the work, schedule for delivery, description of deliverables, and detailed breakdown of the fee, if any, that will apply. These terms will be outlined in a formal agreement that will be signed by both CCI and the client before any work proceeds.

In most cases, the client will not be invoiced until the work is completed. However, if the agreement stipulates progress payments for various deliverables, these will be invoiced as per the agreement. Services will normally be invoiced and payable in Canadian currency, although invoices in American currency can be provided upon request.

Once invoiced, the client will have 30 days to remit payment to CCI. Payment can be made by credit card (VISA or MasterCard), or by cheque or money order made payable to “The Receiver General for Canada”. Note that payment for services cannot be made online through the CCI Web site.
