The Client is also responsible for all damages and costs incurred by Tess de Wolf due to the late payment, including legal and collection costs. All costs related to collecting unpaid amounts—both judicial and extrajudicial—will be charged to the Client. Legal costs are based on actual expenses, including attorney fees.
