2.1 Technical Provisioning: Upon execution of this Agreement, the Client will receive access to a dedicated secure client portal to submit onboarding data, brand voice questionnaires, and required media assets into the project vault.

2.2 Formal Sign-Off Protocol: To maintain speed to market and prevent scope creep, deliverables (such as website mockups, marketing strategies, and software architecture) will be presented via collaborative review links paired with a formal digital approval submission.

2.3 Revisions & Scope: Once the Client submits formal approval for a project phase, development commences immediately. Any subsequent structural or design requests outside the original scope of work will be subject to a formal Change Order and billed at Starr Enterprise's standard development rates.

3. COMPENSATION, BILLING & PAYMENT TERMS

3.1 Retainers & Subscriptions: Recurring monthly services, CRM licenses, and executive consultation retainers are billed automatically via our secure Stripe payment gateway. The Client agrees to maintain a valid, authorized payment method on file at all times.

3.2 The 7-Day Grace Period Policy: Effective immediately upon invoice issuance, all standard billing statements include a strict 7-day grace period from the date of issue before they are considered past due.

3.3 Default & System Suspension: In accordance with our accounting and compliance protocols, any invoices left unpaid after the 7-day payment window will result in immediate account suspension. Access to proprietary software ecosystems (including Starr OS, Nexus CRM, Galaxy CRM, and Client Portals) will be restricted until the outstanding balance is settled in full.

3.4 Collections Escalation & Daily Administrative Penalty: Unpaid balances extending beyond fourteen (14) days post-issuance will be automatically escalated to our internal collections department or third-party legal recovery agencies. Effective immediately upon escalation, a mandatory administrative collection fee of $100.00 per day will be added to the Client's outstanding balance for every calendar day the account remains in active collections. The Client acknowledges and agrees that they shall be fully responsible for all accrued daily collection fees, administrative costs, third-party recovery charges, and reasonable attorney fees incurred during the collection process until the account balance is restored to good standing ($0.00).

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
