Hourly Investigations: A minimum commitment of 8 hours is required for all hourly investigations, along with a non-refundable retainer covering 50% of the estimated hours of service, prior to the commencement of any investigative services.

Mileage and Commute Time: Mileage is billed at $0.66 per kilometer.
