RTSI's fees are based primarily on the amount of time spent providing the Services. While RTSI may provide informal estimates of the amount of time necessary to perform the services enumerated in this Agreement, Client understands that the actual time may vary considerably due to unforeseen complications and that no two computer forensic examinations are the same. Client understands that any informal estimate is not a binding or all inclusive dollar figure for the engagement. Client agrees to pay RTSI on such hourly basis for the Services. Client also agrees to pay all incidental expenses reasonably incurred by RTSI in connection with the Services, including without limitation messenger fees, travel expenses, long distance telephone calls, photocopying, facsimile transmissions, and disk or tape duplication.
Travel is billed at our ordinary hourly rate.
Depositions or other sworn testimony will be billed at a three hour minimum and must be paid for in advance. Client fails to comply with its payment obligations hereunder. A standard computer forensics examination of a single hard drive generally takes a minimum of 30 hours, with unique or difficult cases requiring more. RTSI will bill Client weekly for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Services during the preceding billing period. All outstanding balances billed by RTSI to Client are due upon receipt.
