Services Payment Options Summary
This summary does not apply to memberships. For questions about membership payment and fulfillment see the Membership Fulfillment Policy.
Divine Intel offers flexible payment options designed to accommodate your organization’s budgeting preferences. Payment terms are based on the number of calendar days allowed for full payment after invoicing. Each option includes an initial deposit percentage and a corresponding late-fee rate should payment be delayed beyond the agreed period. Late fees do not compound monthly on any unpaid balance.
Select the Option that Best Fits Your Needs
| Payment Period (Calendar Days) | Deposit Due at Engagement | Monthly Late Fee (Not Compounding) | Ideal For |
| 15 Days | 35% of project estimate | 2.0% | Fast internal approvals; immediate payment capability |
| 30 Days | 55% of project estimate | 2.75% | Large firms with multi-step billing cycles |
| 45 Days or more | 70% of project estimate | 3.5% | Enterprise clients with quarterly accounting systems |
Note:
- Payment periods are measured in calendar days, including weekends and holidays.
- Late fees are calculated monthly and are not compound until the account is paid in full.
- Invoices unpaid beyond 60 calendar days may be subject to suspension of services or referral for collection.
Cancellation Policy (Summary)
If a project is cancelled after execution, Divine Intel bills for services already rendered and may apply a termination fee based on the percentage of completion:
| Project Completion at Time of Cancellation | Termination Fee (of Total Estimate) |
| Less than 25% completed | Up to 50% |
| 25%–49% completed | Up to 30% |
| 50%–74% completed | Up to 15% |
| 75% or more completed | No additional fee beyond work performed, and expenses incurred |
Next Step
When you approve a proposal or engagement, simply indicate which payment period option your organization prefers. Your selected option will appear on your project invoice and govern deposit amount, payment schedule, and applicable late-fee rate.
