Terms and conditions

Payments

New clients may be required to prepay invoices prior to the commencement of services or delivery of Media.

Standard payment terms for approved existing clients are Net 7 days unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Approved clients may be offered extended payment terms at the Photographer’s discretion.

The Client remains responsible for payment regardless of whether the Client has received payment from any third party, agency, property owner, or end customer.

Until full payment has been received:

• all Media remains the property of Jon Matthieu Real Estate Media,
• and any license granted to the Client for use of the Media is conditional and may be suspended for overdue invoices.

Invoices not paid by the due date may be subject to:

• a late payment administrative fee of $25; and/or
• interest accruing from the original invoice due date and calculated weekly at the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate plus 5% per annum on outstanding balances.

Late fees are intended to reasonably compensate for administrative time, recovery costs, account management, and delayed payment, and are not intended to operate as a penalty.

The Photographer may, at their sole discretion, allow a grace period of up to 7 calendar days before commencing recovery action or enforcing late payment remedies. Any grace period does not waive or alter the accrual of late fees from the original invoice due date.

Partial payments reduce the outstanding balance but do not waive late fees or recovery rights on overdue amounts. Interest will apply only to the outstanding unpaid balance remaining from time to time.

The Photographer reserves the right to engage debt recovery processes or request removal of unpaid Media from advertising, online listings, social media, printed materials, or marketing campaigns until outstanding invoices are settled.

The Client may also be liable for reasonable debt recovery, collection, legal, administrative, and associated enforcement costs incurred in recovering overdue amounts.
