Payment Policy
This policy explains how service pricing, proposals, invoices, and payment questions are handled for custom agricultural research and consulting engagements.
Displayed prices are ranges
The website lists typical price ranges for four services: Agricultural Market Analysis at $1,500–$2,500 per project; Commodity Pricing & Trend Report at $950–$1,800 per report; Agribusiness Strategy Consulting at $2,500–$4,500 per project; and Supply & Demand Research at $1,800–$3,200 per project. These amounts are U.S. dollar estimates, not an online checkout price or automatic acceptance of an order.
Actual fees depend on the commodity, number of regions, timeframe, depth of research, availability and licensing of data, requested format, and deadline. A narrow pricing review and a multi-region market study can require different effort even when they fall under the same service name. We confirm the final fee in a written proposal before work starts.
Proposal and authorization
A proposal or statement of work should identify the client, requested service, scope, deliverables, assumptions, schedule, total fee or calculation method, invoice milestones, due dates, and any approved third-party expenses. The client should review these terms before an authorized representative accepts. We do not treat a website inquiry, a phone conversation, or a preliminary estimate as a binding purchase.
Material changes to scope, added research, expedited delivery, or a new data purchase may affect the fee. We will seek written approval for an adjustment before doing additional billable work, except where an existing signed agreement already provides a clear change process.
Invoices and due dates
Invoices are issued according to the accepted proposal. Depending on the engagement, a proposal may call for a deposit, milestone billing, payment after delivery, or another mutually agreed schedule. The invoice states the amount due, the due date, and accepted payment instructions. The website does not collect payment through the inquiry form.
Please include the invoice reference with payment and notify us promptly if a billing contact or purchase-order requirement changes. A client should raise a good-faith question about an invoice as soon as reasonably possible, identifying the amount and basis of the concern so both parties can review it.
Payment methods and security
Accepted payment methods are specified on the invoice or in the agreement. Do not assume that a particular card, digital wallet, check, or bank transfer is available until it appears in the payment instructions. We do not request full payment card details or account passwords through the public inquiry form or ordinary email.
If payment instructions appear to change unexpectedly, verify them using a previously established business contact before sending funds. Payment processing may involve a financial institution or provider that handles transaction data under its own terms and controls.
Taxes, third-party costs, and currency
Unless a proposal expressly states otherwise, service fees are quoted in U.S. dollars. Applicable taxes, if any, will be identified on the invoice as required by law. The client is responsible for providing valid exemption documentation when claiming a tax exemption.
Outside costs such as licensed datasets, specialist research, or travel are billed only when included in the accepted proposal or subsequently approved in writing. We will identify such costs separately or explain how they are included in a fixed fee. A third-party charge may have its own cancellation restrictions.
Late or disputed payments
If an undisputed invoice is overdue, we may notify the client and provide a reasonable opportunity to resolve the matter before pausing future work or delivery, subject to the agreement and applicable law. Any late charge or collection cost must be specifically authorized by the written agreement and permitted by law; this website policy does not create an undisclosed fee.
Both parties should continue to address the undisputed portion of an invoice while a specific disputed item is reviewed. Any decision to resume or modify work after a payment issue should be documented so the revised schedule and responsibilities are clear.
Refunds and records
Refunds and cancellation accounting are governed by the accepted agreement and the Cancellation & Refund Policy. Amounts for unperformed work may be returned after completed work and authorized nonrecoverable expenses are accounted for. A change in agricultural market conditions after delivery does not itself make completed custom research refundable.
We maintain business records needed for invoicing, reconciliation, tax, and dispute handling for appropriate periods. Questions about an invoice, receipt, payment method, or refund can be sent using the contact information below. Include the organization and invoice reference, but do not email sensitive payment credentials.
