COMPANY PAYMENT TERMS AND POLICIES

New, one-time, and out-of-state clients must pay in advance -- no exceptions.

Established clientele with credit approval (after 6 months) may be eligible for a weekly or monthly payment schedule via invoice billing.

BOOK WRITING PROJECTS: All Book Writing Projects (print and electronic) Require: 50% up front, non-refundable retainer, remaining balance due upon completion of first manuscript draft (prior to editing phase) at the designated deadline time. (All other projects under $7,500 require full advanced payment.) Angel Logan will provide terms and conditions of service agreement. (Number of pages represents double-spaced manuscript pages.) [up front retainer covers time, expenses & possible cancellations by client - royalties, book advance, and book rights belong to the client]

NOTE: Weekly or monthly advance pay via invoice billing is also available to new clients with ongoing projects -- an immediate invoice will be sent to the client, to pay the first three payments in advance before work can begin. The remaining client payments will be due immediately upon the receipt of weekly or monthly invoice, for the duration of the project. Late payments will delay project completion.

Credit card, PayPal, any Internet payment transfer, and personal checks are NOT accepted methods of payment, to preclude fraudulent activity. US Postal Money Orders obtained from your local US Post Office (for new, one-time, and out-of-state clients), along with (pre-approved) corporate checks are the only accepted methods of payment. Any other type of money order or non-approved payment will be returned to sender immediately upon arrival, delaying the work project. Client will be responsible for overdraft and bounced check fees, if corporate check does not cover sufficient funds. If your project is time sensitive, please send your payment via US Postal Overnight Express. NOTE: Bank cashiers checks will be considered for large payments of over $1,000 -- with pre-approval and verification.

Clients are responsible for the shipping and delivery of all payments. To preclude lost mail or delayed mail delivery -- please send all payments utilizing US Postal Service tracking either via delivery confirmation, certified mail, or express guaranteed delivery. Please email the tracking number immediately upon shipping. All payments must be made payable to:

Angel Logan
PO Box 540234
Waltham, MA 02454-0234

PLEASE NOTE: Monetary payment is required in exchange for writing and/or editing services, as expressed within these terms and conditions of service. Commission or percentage-based payments will ONLY be accepted, as an addition to payment for rendered services per supplementary contract agreement, or as a bonus.

Corporate Retained Services
Client will receive a 10% discount off the regular hourly rate on corporate retained services, if client pays entire balance in advance. NOTE: Weekly or monthly scheduled invoice payments (with credit approval) will reflect the full hourly rate.

Edits
Edits for one-page projects are part of the project's flat rate. The final cost for large, corporate retained or ongoing projects will be calculated to include all edits.

Project Content
Client is responsible for providing the necessary content for the projects, including any special instructions, deadline requirements, keywords, notes, recordings, etc. via email immediately upon mutual agreement. Do NOT send any attachments. Please copy and paste the content/information into the body of your email. Do not worry if your content is fragmented or bulleted. It does not have to be in any particular format. If you have legible, hand-written notes, you may send that information via US Postal Service with your payment. Please DO NOT send original materials -- send photocopies and keep your originals for your own records. There will be an additional cost for any research, as that is not part of the regular available services.
NOTE: For manuscript editing -- I do NOT accept manuscripts via attachments. Please copy your manuscript onto a USB Flash Drive (no MAC file formats please), and send the flash drive to me via US Postal Service with your payment, or post your manuscript into a Google Doc file, to share with me -- this file will be for content transfer only, at the beginning of the project, and at completion for client access.

If you require editing services for a previously published book, please send the actual book to Angel Logan via US Postal Service.

Upon completion of project, I will send an email to the client immediately. Client must acknowledge receipt of work, as well as review and respond in a timely manner regarding any necessary edits.

I am willing to sign non-disclosure agreements pertaining to sensitive and confidential information when applicable.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a professional creative writing service. Journalism style with interviews and reporting is not part of the available writing services. In addition, dictation is not a writing service and is not an accepted method for content transfer. If you do not have any content, please record your information. Recordings will alleviate any errors or misquotes that could occur during an interview process. Mini-micro cassette tape recordings are ideal, as you can record information at your convenience, when thoughts come to you, and mail to me, to listen at my convenience. However, MP3 files saved onto a USB flash drive are another acceptable method of recording. Please do not send recordings via Internet, as they will not be opened.

Timing
Standard project completion (one-page projects E.G. press releases, biography profiles, resumes ... ) will be no more than three business days after receipt of client payment and necessary content transfer.

Time frame for larger or long term projects is contingent upon content -- number of pages, length of project, required deadline, etc.

Manuscript editing requires time and meticulous attention to all detail. While it is possible to generate rapid results, from express-style writing/editing services at a lower cost -- it is more prudent and beneficial to take the necessary time, to ensure that you will receive a higher quality of excellence, with less chance for errors. I will determine a reasonable time frame for completion, contingent upon the number of pages and my availability. If your required deadline is not realistic, I will not accept the project.

Book writing is a larger endeavor that will require a significant amount of time, effort, and meticulous attention to detail. Contingent upon the length of the book, your content (notes, recordings, etc.), and how effectively you transfer your content to me will determine the length of the project, which should be approximately 4-6 months for completion.

Please Note: If your project has a time-sensitive deadline that requires rush delivery, you will be required to pay a rush fee -- 20% of balance. A regular schedule will be set-up for large or on-going projects contingent upon deadlines. As long as the time frame is realistic, and I have availability, I will accept the project and meet my client's deadlines.

With that said, during the agreed upon work-period leading up to the deadline, I will adhere to my own business schedule and writing/editing methodology, to achieve project completion. I have other clients, and it is my responsibility to balance the necessary work and deadlines of all client projects, according to my business schedule.

NOTE: A Tax ID number will be available, ONLY to corporate clients as required according to (Massachusetts) state & federal tax laws.
