Purchases
If you wish to purchase any service made available through the Service ("Purchase"), you may be sent an emailed payment invoice for a Deposit fee to initiate a General Project Request or PMO Service ("Purchase") from our third-party Invoice system, Wave Accounting or PayPal, be asked to supply certain information including, without limitation, your Name and payment information, and be emailed recurring payment invoices at each project milestone, for California (CA) resident - every two weeks, or other flexible payment schedule.
Customer that is a business entity or government is exempt from a Deposit fee. The administrative fee is included in the project fees.
Direct Deposit (business entities and government only) of payment is available as an option, at an agreed payment scheduling. Mailed Check (government only) is available as an option, at an agreed payment scheduling. Other payment option is available as agreed, at an agreed payment schedule. Customer being sent payment invoices are emailed through Wave Accounting or PayPal, at Customer's chosen payment processor, and in Customer’s chosen currency. Applicable processing fees and taxes may be added to the invoice.
Payment invoices emailed to Customer are to be paid prior to the release of any customer-owned tangible and intangible assets, after Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) confirms work completed at milestones or for CA residents, every two-weeks. Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) that fail to release the Customer’s assets after receiving Service ("Purchase") payment will be terminated, unless it is due to incidents beyond their control (eg. hurricane, tornado, blackout, and related incidents) then Jubilee Scholars LLC will attempt to retrieve Customer’s assets directly from Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”).
Customer inquiries for Service ("Purchase") are reviewed within 5 business days. An initial payment invoice will be sent, and recurring payment invoices will be sent at the agreed upon milestones or payment scheduling. Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) performing the Service ("Purchase") may receive milestone payment from Jubilee Scholars within 7 business days, depending on their choice of banking. Customer may be suspended or disabled from being serviced for non-payment of payment invoices at the sole discretion of Jubilee Scholars LLC. Any accounts that are not collectable by Jubilee Scholars LLC will be turned over to an outside collection agency, at the sole discretion of Jubilee Scholars LLC. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay Jubilee Scholars a "Collection Fee" of not less than $20 USD, an administrative fee, in addition to the unpaid payments, and any fees that may be imposed by the outside collection agency or its legal representation.
If you wish to purchase any products of Jubilee Scholars LLC or third-party products and services available through the Service ("Purchase"), links to third-party web sites or services will be provided to complete the Service ("Purchase") and to accept their separate terms and conditions and privacy policy.
Deposit Fee
Upon approval of the project request and unless exempt from a deposit fee, Customer will be invoiced a deposit fee of $20 USD for a General Project Request or $20 USD for a PMO Project Request. Business entities, government, and churches are exempt from a deposit fee and are expected to pay project fees and applicable taxes and fees at the agreed payment schedule.
Milestone Payments
Customer choosing to pay Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) through Milestones are required to do so at the agreed Milestone(s), prior to receiving Customer’s project-based assets from Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”).
Two-weeks Payments
California (CA) considers milestone payments to be escrow activity, requiring an escrow account to service Customer and Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) that are (CA) residents. Jubilee Scholars provides an alternative venue for (CA) residents: (CA) resident Customer pays Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) in two-weeks increments, regardless of project completion or request for another non-milestone payment method. Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) that are (CA) residents can accept two-weeks wages or request that Customer use another method for non-milestone payments.
Flexible Payments
Customer may request flexible payments because of preference for flexibility of payments, Project Sponsor requirements, grant funding, or for being a California (CA) resident.

Customer may make a one-time full payment for a Service ("Purchase") and Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) must confirm completion of work as agreed, prior to wages being paid to Personnel (“Employees and Contractors”) for the project. Uncompleted work may be subject to the "Refund Policy."
