Invoicing and payment policy

Invoicing

AdaptaBid

Invoices for service will be emailed on or about the first business day of each month. The invoice contains charges for services provided in the previous calendar month (i.e. invoicing is in arrears) unless otherwise specified on invoice.

All service invoices are due in full by the 15th of the month in which they are issued. 

StableBid

Invoices for service will be emailed on the site invoice date. The invoice shows the subscription amount for the following billing period.

All service invoices are due in full in 7 calendar days.

StableBid sites are required to have a Recurring Payment Agreement on file. The payment method on file will be charged on the invoice date.

General

Questions about an invoice should be directed to accounting@auctionmethod.com as soon as the invoice is received. Short-payments will be applied to an invoice, but the remaining balance due remains subject to the payment policy as described below.

 

Automatic Payment

Automatic payment of monthly invoices by credit card is available at no additional charge.

Please contact accounting@auctionmethod.com to enroll in auto payment.
