Sales tax as required by state law for surveying services will be billed at cost. Payments Billings for Services rendered will be made monthly and payment is required within forty-five (45) days of receipt of invoice. Unless special arrangements are made, a finance charge of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month will be added to unpaid balances more than forty-five (45) days old as well as any costs of collection, including attorney’s fees. LJA reserves the right to suspend work should invoices not be paid within the stated terms. Client affirms that the Services to be provided by LJA should not be subject to the addition of any sales tax, value added tax, stamp duty, wage withholding, or similar tax or withholding, including at the source of payment, and as such, requests that LJA not add any such taxes to its invoices. If applicable, Client shall provide LJA with appropriate exemption certificates. The amount of any excise, VAT, or gross receipts tax that may be imposed for professional services shall be added to the compensation as determined above. In the case where Client is obliged to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such addition, the amount paid to LJA by Client for any invoice shall be grossed up to the amount of the invoice so that any fees and other sums payable to LJA are not subject to such taxes. This Rate Schedule is subject to annual change by LJA to reflect increases in costs of operation, inflation, subject to the terms and conditions of Section VII. of the Engineering Services Agreement and review and approval by the Client.
