Network Units

Network Units can be purchased in blocks of any size and at any time and are billed in full at point of purchase.

Prices are fixed for the agreed deliverables and should changes be required, these may incur changes to delivery costs. Payment for Project Based Engagements are agreed on a case-by-case basis, giving consideration to risk, contract value, client payment history, relationship longevity and duration.
