Fees & Pricing

Paper Chasers LLC provides task-based, project-based, hourly, and location-based professional administrative and litigation support services. Pricing depends on the requested service, scope, location, timing, complexity, travel requirements, document volume, and other circumstances relevant to the assignment.

Whenever reasonably practicable, scope and pricing are confirmed before work begins. Any written quote, estimate, invoice, service agreement, or other written pricing confirmation issued for a particular assignment controls over general information displayed on this page.

How Pricing Is Determined

Quotes and Estimates

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, a quote or estimate is based on the information available at the time it is issued. It may be revised if the scope changes, material facts are omitted or inaccurate, additional attempts or locations become necessary, third-party costs arise, or circumstances outside Paper Chasers LLC’s control affect the assignment.

Deposits and Upfront Payments

Some services may require full payment or a deposit before scheduling, travel, research, document work, service attempts, or other performance begins. If an upfront payment is required, the amount and applicable terms will be communicated during scope confirmation.

• Deposits may be used to reserve time, scheduling, travel, or project capacity.
• Deposits may be applied against the final balance as stated in the applicable quote, invoice, or agreement.
• Once work begins, travel occurs, costs are incurred, or time is reserved, some or all of a deposit may become non-refundable.
• Any remaining balance is due according to the applicable invoice, quote, or written agreement.

Process Service Fees

Process service pricing may depend on the service address, distance, number of recipients, number of documents, number and timing of attempts, deadline, difficulty, special instructions, affidavit requirements, and whether additional investigation or alternate addresses are requested.

• A standard service fee may include only the number of attempts stated in the written quote or invoice.
• Additional attempts, addresses, recipients, stakeouts, waiting time, or extended travel may involve additional charges.
• Payment is for the professional effort and attempts performed, not a guarantee that a person will be located or successfully served.
• Rush, same-day, evening, weekend, holiday, or difficult-service requests may be priced separately.

Rush and Expedited Requests

Short deadlines, immediate dispatch requests, after-hours work, same-day work, weekend assignments, or work that requires rescheduling other commitments may be subject to an expedited or rush fee.

A request is not considered accepted as a rush assignment until availability, scope, deadline, and pricing have been confirmed by Paper Chasers LLC.

Mileage, Travel, Parking, and Related Costs

Assignments requiring pickup, delivery, service attempts, court visits, agency visits, document retrieval, or other travel may include charges for mileage, travel time, parking, tolls, access fees, lodging, or other reasonable expenses when applicable.

Travel-related terms may vary by assignment and are confirmed during the intake and pricing process whenever reasonably practicable.

Third-Party and Governmental Fees

Filing fees, record-copy fees, certified copy fees, postage, shipping, publication costs, database costs, court fees, agency fees, notary fees, parking, tolls, and other third-party expenses are generally separate from Paper Chasers LLC’s service fees unless expressly included in writing.

Paper Chasers LLC may require advance payment for anticipated third-party expenses.

Scope Changes and Additional Work

Scope is based on the information available when the assignment is accepted. New instructions, additional documents, revised deadlines, new service addresses, additional recipients, changed facts, or unexpected complications may materially change the scope and pricing.

Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments

• Cancellation charges may apply when time, travel, staffing, research, or scheduling has already been committed.
• Completed work and incurred costs remain billable even if the client later cancels the assignment.
• Time-specific appointments, pickups, deliveries, or field assignments may be billable when the client or recipient is unavailable.
• Rescheduling may result in additional charges when additional travel, time, or coordination is required.

Payment Methods

Paper Chasers LLC may accept payment through Square, electronic invoice, card, cash, check, or another approved payment method. Available payment methods may vary by assignment.

Card or electronic payment transactions may be subject to a disclosed processing or convenience fee where permitted by law and agreed before payment. Any such fee will be reflected in the applicable invoice or payment request.

Invoices and Payment Terms

When an invoice is issued, the invoice controls the amount due, payment deadline, accepted payment methods, and any assignment-specific pricing terms. Unless otherwise stated in writing, balances are due upon receipt or completion of the applicable service.

Past-due balances may result in suspension of additional work, withholding of non-required deliverables, collection activity, or other lawful remedies consistent with the applicable agreement and law.

Taxes

Applicable sales, use, or other taxes may be added when required by law. The tax treatment of a particular service may depend on the nature of the assignment and applicable Wisconsin tax rules.

No Guarantee of Outcome

Fees are charged for services, time, effort, travel, attempts, research, coordination, documentation, and related work. Payment does not guarantee a specific legal, administrative, business, court, agency, title, service, or other outcome.
