Statement of Charges and Conditions

for

Russell F. Lee, Meteorologist

 

  1. Billing Rate: Billing is normally based on "time and materials;" however, for some projects (e.g., training courses) a flat rate is available. A surcharge also applies to expert testimony. Contact us for a quote for your project.
  2. Direct Charges: Direct charges such as postage and shipping, telephone, facsimile and vehicle expenses are only billed separately if they exceed $25.00 or if out-of-town travel is required. Otherwise they are assumed included in the hourly rate. Actual expenses are billed for materials and supplies specifically requested to be obtained for project work.
  3. Out of town travel: Actual expenses for transportation, meals and lodging (for overnight travel) are billed. Transportation by privately owned vehicle is billed at the current IRS rate (2008 rate = $.505/mile).
  4. Payment: Invoices are normally sent on a monthly basis, and at the end of the project. Payment is due within 30 days of receipt of my invoice unless we agree otherwise.
  5. Legal liability: Russell F. Lee’s legal liability, if any, for damages direct, indirect or consequential resulting from this work, including the furnishing of any data, reports, recommendations, conclusions or other written materials, shall be limited to the amount paid to Russell F. Lee hereunder.
