PAYMENT OF FEES
You will pay Newwwton the then applicable fees described in the invoice for the Services in accordance with the terms therein adjusted for any discounts (the “Fees”), regardless of being higher than any quotes or estimates provided to you before or during the time period the Services were provided. A change in pricing or fee structure will not apply to an agreed Service identified by a unique project number (a “Project”), for which you have or should have received a Project Started notice. However, Newwwton reserves the right to change its prices, fee structures or applicable charges and to institute new charges and fees at any time, and will make reasonable effort to notify you via email minimum 30 days prior to any change. Changes in prices or fee structure or other charges will apply to any Project started thereafter, regardless of you having used Newwwton Services prior to such changes. All Projects are subject to a minimum cost of USD 300, or 3 hours of work, whichever is higher. It is your responsibility to review the Newwwton pricing page or inquire Newwwton about the latest prices and fee structure. If you believe that Newwwton has billed you incorrectly, you must contact Newwwton no later than 7 days after receiving the invoice or information in which the error or problem first appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to payment@newwwton.com. It is your responsibility to terminate a Project if progress is not deemed satisfactory, and hours used by you on the Newwwton platform must be paid in full, regardless of satisfaction with end product. It is your responsibility to inquire for progress reports sufficiently frequently to evaluate progress. In the event that freelancers on the Newwwton platform have performed unsatisfactory, it is your responsibility to report to Newwwton as soon as possible, to allow Newwwton to handle the dispute and potentially credit you.
By using or agreeing to use the Services, you commit to provide a valid payment method with available funds to pay for any Fees through an account on newwwton.com, and to maintain a valid payment method until all Services are paid for. Newwwton reserves the right to not provide any Services before you have provided a valid payment method through an account on newwwton.com.
Newwwton has integrated with Stripe, a validated Level 1 PCI DSS Compliant Service Provider, for PCI Compliant storing of credit card information and processing of payments. Stripe may make a temporary $1 charge to credit cards added to your Newwwton account. Newwwton may make a temporary $0.5 charge to your credit card at the start of your Project. Any such charges are refunded after your credit card has been verified. The refund may take up to several business days depending on your bank or credit card service.
You hereby authorize Newwwton to run, or have run, credit card authorizations on all credit cards provided by you, to store credit card details as your method of payment for Services, and to charge your credit card (or any other form of payment authorized by Newwwton or mutually agreed to between you and Newwwton).
Newwwton may choose to bill through an invoice. In any case, full payment for invoices issued, and for amounts that have been attempted charged on your credit card or by another payment method, in any given month, must be received by Newwwton no later than fourteen (14) days after the earliest of the emailing date of the invoice, and the date of the attempted charge to credit card or other payment method, unless otherwise has been agreed with Newwwton in writing. If any outstanding amount has not been paid within 14 days, a USD 50 late payment fee may be added to the unpaid amount. Furthermore, unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service. Unpaid amounts that have not been paid after 30 days may be sent to a Debt Collection agency. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Newwwton’ net income.
Payment by bank transfer or wire transfer is subject to a USD 50 transaction fee that will be added to your invoice.
Newwwton will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you the Services agreed upon and you shall pay Newwwton the Fee in accordance with these Terms. In cases where the Service has been cancelled, terminated or aborted, either by you or by Newwwton, you will pay in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided. All sections of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
We reserve the right to invoice incurred amount on a Project at any time, including but not limited to situations where we await your feedback or your confirmation that the Project has been completed. In situations where we do not receive feedback or confirmation of completion within 14 days from delivery of any Service, either complete or incomplete, incurred amount on the Project will be invoiced automatically. Newwwton reserves the right to close and invoice a Project if it is still ongoing 30 days after you received or should have received the Project Started notice. Subject to these Terms, Newwwton will provide reasonable support to start a new Project for any remaining work.
If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, and that organization defaults or in any other way is not able to pay any outstanding amount owed to Newwwton, you are personally jointly liable for payment, unless it is evident that you had no knowledge of the causes for the organization’s inability to pay.
PLANS
Newwwton offers the pricing plans (the "Plans") with the respective USD amounts (the "Monthly Amounts") that are at all times available on www.newwwton.com/pricing. Any agreement to use the Services without paying an up front Monthly Amount (a "Trial") must be made in writing. A Trial will last until the end of the month the Trial started, and continue as an "Essentials Plan" with the respective Monthly Amount being billed on the first date of the following month (the "First Month of Service"), unless otherwise agreed, notified or terminated in writing to payment@newwwton.com.
Under the Plans, Project Fees are reconciled to the month the respective Project is closed and your available USD balance (the "Balance"). If the sum of Project Fees within a month is less than the Monthly Amount paid, the residual Monthly Amount will roll and credit your Balance for the next month, on top of the Monthly Amount paid for that month. Residual Monthly Amounts can roll for up to three months as long as the following Monthly Amounts are paid and the Plan is not terminated, and will be deducted on a first-in-first-out basis. If the sum of Project Fees within a month exceed the the Balance, the residual Fees will be invoiced along with the following Monthly Amount, or separately if the Plan has been terminated.
Newwwton will invoice and the Client will pay the Monthly Amount plus any Fees exceeding the Balance within Due Date on a monthly basis for as long as the plan is not terminated in writing.
Any Plan can be terminated in writing by either party at any time. The Plan will remain effective for the remaining of the month the Plan is terminated, and the Monthly Amount will be payable for that month. Any unused Monthly Amount will be voided at termination.
A change from one Plan to another Plan with a lower Monthly Amount must be in writing to payment@newwwton.com, and any available Balance will be reduced with the same denominator as the reduction in Monthly Amount.
Our current list prices are as follows: 12-hour Basic Design: $99/hr 24-hour Basic Design: $79/hr +48-hour Basic Design: $59/hr 24-hour Creative Design: $109/hr +48-hour Creative Design: $79/hr Premium Design: $109/hr Conceptual Creative: $139/hr
Limited scope of work is available under 12- and 24-hour deadline. For pricing purposes, all projects with 12-23.9 hour deadline are considered 12-hour deadline, and all projects with 24-47.9 hour deadline are considered 24-hour deadlines. Newwwton reserves the right to change the above prices, and will make reasonable effort to notify you via email minimum 30 days prior to any change.
