Legal Fees – Payment, Cancellation, and Refund Policy

 

Fee Schedules

Lex Artifex offers a variety of fee schedules for its clients. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the types of fees offered and when that fee type would be appropriate.
Retainer Fee Agreement
A retainer fee agreement is the default agreement at Lex Artifex. It is paying the firm a set amount based upon a specific work to be completed by the law firm. Depending on the matter’s complexity, the amount of the initial or replenish retainer amount may change.
Flat Fee Agreement
A flat fee agreement is a set amount that we would agree to be paid for all of the services identified upon the client retaining Lex Artifex. Lex Artifex limits flat fee agreements to select legal tasks and responsibilities that have an estimable time requirement to competently complete.
Examples would include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Entity formation (e.g. company, incorporated trustees, business name, etc.)
  • Drafting/review of identified legal documents (e.g. contracts, employee handbook, etc.)
  • Trademark/patent smooth application, CERPAC application, etc.
Contingency Fee Agreement
A contingency fee agreement is a rare type of fee agreement at Lex Artifex. This type of fee agreement makes the amount or paying of legal fees contingent upon an event either occurring or not occurring in the course of the representation. It is commonly associated with civil litigation, where the size or paying of legal fees is contingent upon the client’s lawsuit or defense being successful.

 

Payment

Lex Artifex LLP provides a variety of services on a fixed fee or hourly fee basis. The amount of the fee payable depends upon the type of service requested. Payment for any legal service is required to be made through bank wire transfer and/or an electronic credit/debit card.

 

Cancellation Fee and Refunds

The fees charged and earned by Lex Artifex for any service is proportionate to the time already spent working on your transaction. The fee is not refundable where steps or actions have already been taken by Lex Artifex to fulfill your transaction or request. However, where steps are yet to be taken on such transaction or request, you may cancel for any reason. Upon request, your account will be credited the amount of the fee less the refund charges and a 10% cancellation fee.

 

Shipping & Delivery

Q: How long will it take to get my matter concluded?
Delivery times will vary depending on the type of legal service requested.

Where a legal service is concluded by Lex Artifex, it may take 0 – 21 business days for a report to be sent to client through the specified channel (i.e. by electronic mail or by express mail).
Q: What are your shipping rates?
The cost for the delivery of any report or document to client can only be determined on the date of dispatch based on the delivery address provided by client.
