At StarkSouk, we aim to maintain smooth financial operations and ensure successful project completion through clear and transparent payment terms. Below are our detailed payment guidelines to avoid any conflicts and keep projects on track.
Invoice Generation
Invoices are generated twice a month on the following dates:
- 1st of the month
- 15th of the month
If an invoice date falls on a global holiday (e.g., New Year’s Day), the invoice will be processed on the next business day.
Payment Terms
1. Fixed-Rate Projects
- Advance Payment: A non-refundable deposit of 40-50% of the total project cost is required to confirm and begin work. This deposit demonstrates the client’s commitment and allows us to allocate resources for the project.
- Remaining Balance: The remaining amount is divided into equal monthly installments, billed on the 1st or 15th of each month, depending on the start date.
2. Recurring Projects
- Monthly Invoice: For recurring projects, an advance invoice is issued every month. This ensures ongoing work is funded and resources remain allocated.
Payment Guidelines
1. Payment Methods
- Accepted Methods: We accept payments via bank transfer, online payment platforms, and PayPal. Detailed payment instructions will be included with each invoice.
- Currency: All payments should be made in INR.
2. Delays Due to Payment
- Work Suspension: If payment is delayed by more than 1 business week, StarkSouk reserves the right to pause all project work until payment is received.
- Recommencement Fee: In the event of prolonged delays, a recommencement fee may be charged to resume the project.
