10. Cost Estimates for Copyright Services
The following estimates for copyright services are estimates, only, and are based upon routine cases of average complexity which entail an average expenditure of time on the part of the professional(s) involved. They do not include G.S.T. or other standard disbursements (eg., searches, telephone, facsimile, photocopies, postage, couriers etc.), except as otherwise explicitly stated. These estimates are based upon performing the services as routine cases and not on an expedited basis. Premiums may be applied if expedited service is requested. Thus, the charges which follow should only be seen as a guide to the charges which you will ultimately incur. As to the time frames normally required to complete the services, these vary from time to time depending upon current workloads, and should be discussed with the copyright professional handling your affairs at the time of your initial interview.
| OUR FEE | GOV'T. FEE | ||
| 1. | Reduced rate initial office conference (including provision to you of Disclosure Form and preliminary review of same) | $200- $300. (depending upon professional engaged) |

NOTE: The estimates given above are approximate only. It is the policy of our firm to request of new clients retainers of not less than 50% of the estimated fees and disbursements prior to the preparation of a copyright application. The balance of actual fees and disbursements incurred on your behalf will be billed upon completion of the requested service. Interest is charged on unpaid accounts after 30 days, pursuant to The Solicitors' Act.
