You are deemed to have accepted the offer when you make payment into the account we have nominated (or for cash payments when you hand the cash to Titan Fund Management Services), or when you sign and return to Titan Fund Management Services the Client Details form and/or the Trust Authority and/or the Payment Plan form, or provide further instructions after receipt of these documents and we proceed to do the work for you. At the discretion of Titan Fund Management Services, you will have the option of paying by credit card, cheque, bank transfer or cash. Once the contract has been entered into through the client’s acceptance of our offer, the terms and conditions as outlined here will apply in full.
If at any stage payment is made through the Website or by any other means for an advertised or orally described product or service without Titan Fund Management Services issuing a Quote and Client Agreement, this will be deemed to be an offer by you. Titan Fund Management Services will not be deemed to have accepted this offer until it is acceptance confirmed to you in writing or if we then provide the good or service for you.
Email Correspondence – At Titan Fund Management Services, we’re all about efficiency, and most of our clients find that email communication is the most efficient and convenient way for us to correspond with them in writing in relation to their matter. We find our clients prefer us to utilise modern technology including email communication in order to avoid excessive delays associated with posting all documents. Therefore, when you become a client of Titan Fund Management Services, you automatically request us to correspond with you electronically including by email when you provide your email address to us. However, if this is not the case, the onus is on the client to notify Titan Fund Management Services and make alternative arrangements as outlined in our Client Agreement and Trust Authority.
Costs Disclosure – As a fixed-fee law firm, we believe in fully disclosing all of our costs in advance. If the amount that we have quoted exceeds €10,000.00 inclusive of GST, Titan Fund Management Services will provide to you a detailed Costs Disclosure Notice as required by the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld).
Tax Invoices – When Titan Fund Management Services has provided the substantive component of the agreed legal services to you as described in our Quote (or as revised because the scope of the work has changed), in accordance with our Client Agreement we will issue you with a Tax Invoice for the relevant amount. No earlier than 48 hours after issuing you with a Tax Invoice, funds that you paid into our Trust Account prior to us commencing work on your matter will be withdrawn from our Trust Account and paid to Titan Fund Management Services.
Should you wish to dispute the amount that you have been charged or make a complaint of any kind, you should first raise the issues in writing with Titan Fund Management Services. If reasonable steps have been taken to resolve the matter directly with Titan Fund Management Services, the matter may then be further disputed elsewhere.
Refunds – As we are a fixed fee billing firm and payment of our quoted amount into trust is required in advance, we are unable to provide refunds in cases where an offer has been made and this offer has been accepted, except as required by the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). This policy exists because once a contract has been entered into, we commence work on your matter. In the event of a service being cancelled by a client prior to the agreed work being carried out in it’s entirety, a partial credit may be applied to the client’s account, at the complete discretion of Titan Fund Management Services. If approved by Titan Fund Management Services, the credit will be applied to the client’s account and will be available to use towards any other legal matter for which the client retains our services. The timeframe in which the credit must be used is at the discretion of Titan Fund Management Services. Full or partial refunds cannot be given in the event of work being cancelled for any reason, except at the discretion of Titan Fund Management Services.
Titan Fund Management Services may choose to issue a refund if for any reason, they are unable to complete the work that has been paid for.
Change of Instructions – If a client changes their original instructions in any way, Titan Fund Management Services reserves the right to quote and invoice the client for any additional work that was not included in the original invoice, in accordance with the process outlined above under “Ordering Products and Services”. If the new or modified instructions mean that Titan Fund Management Services must do less work to complete the work, a partial credit or partial refund may be issued, at the discretion of Titan Fund Management Services, as discussed above under “Refunds”.
Urgent Work – Depending our our workload and availability of staff, we may need to charge you more to complete urgent work, especially if staff will need to be paid overtime in order to meet deadlines for your matter and for other matters we are handling. If you instruct us to act urgently for you and there is no time or it is not possible to provide a fixed price quote in advance, we will charge a reasonable fee considering the circumstances and the urgency of the legal advice. If required, we will revert to our usual hourly rates to determine what a reasonable amount is for this work.
If you urgently change your instructions to us or require us to complete work urgently and we hold any money in our Trust Account for other work to be completed for you, we may issue you with a tax invoice for this work and require payment into our general account or draw this money from our Trust Account and require you to pay this amount into trust again. This will be at the discretion of Titan Fund Management Services.
Payment – Products purchased through the Website or in response to a Quote and Client Agreement received by email, mail or any other means, must be paid by any payment method specified and available through the Website or specified on the invoice.
Other options for paying invoices or purchasing products or services available through the Website, include bank transfer, cheque and cash payment, at the discretion of Titan Fund Management Services. Information relating to these payment methods will be listed on the invoice and if required, can be discussed with Titan Fund Management Services.
Meetings – Unless specifically stated in our Quote and Client Agreement a standard meeting (“meeting”) is for a one hour. In some circumstances, we may only include a “brief meeting” which lasts for thirty minutes.
Travel Policy – If a quote includes travel and/or accommodation costs, the full quoted amount is non-refundable and non-transferable once these expenses have been incurred by us even if your instructions to us change.
