To understand this clause, please remember that whenever "IOK" is mentioned, it refers to the law firm with which you are entering into this Agreement, and whenever "THE CLIENT" is mentioned, it refers to you.THE CLIENT shall pay IOK, as legal service fees, the amount specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Section 5.2.Please note that Sections 5.1 and 5.2, located in Section Five of this Agreement, contain the total amount of legal fees you have agreed to pay, the applicable payment plan, including the number of payments, the amount and due date of each payment, as well as the minimum payment required before IOK will file your case with the appropriate immigration authority or court.THE CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that IOK will deposit all advance legal fees and costs into its operating account, rather than into a trust account. This arrangement is a condition of IOK's legal representation and is intended to reduce administrative costs. THE CLIENT understands that they have the option of retaining a law firm that utilizes trust accounts but has voluntarily elected to retain IOK under these terms. Any unearned legal fees shall be refunded, and any outstanding amounts due for services rendered shall be communicated promptly for payment.

In the event that the services provided are asylum-related, both parties acknowledge that the amount specified in Section 5.1 is below market value—reflecting our mutual commitment—and shall remain in effect for the duration of this agreement. Should this agreement be terminated early, the market value set forth in the “Market Value and Milestone Payment Annex” shall apply, payable in accordance with the milestones defined in said annex, which appears below.

Where applicable, once IOK has identified documents not provided in English, it will proceed to carry out the necessary translations and invoice THE CLIENT. THE CLIENT’s prior authorization to translate documents will be required only if the cost of the translation exceeds three hundred US dollars. Translation fees must be paid within 30 days of IOK’s request for payment to THE CLIENT.

Section Two, Paragraph 2.1. Additional Services. If additional legal services become necessary, as provided in Section One, Paragraph 2, the Additional Services Proposal accepted by THE CLIENT shall specify the legal fees and the applicable payment terms for such additional services, if any.Section Two, Paragraph 2.2. Meetings with Attorneys. If THE CLIENT requests meetings directly with the attorneys, other than those reasonably necessary to prepare for hearings, THE CLIENT shall pay the applicable consultation fee for each such meeting.Section Two, Paragraph 2.3. Change of Address. IOK shall process up to two (2) changes of THE CLIENT's address with the appropriate immigration authority at no additional charge. Beginning with the third address change, a Change of Address Filing Fee shall apply for each additional update. Additional charges shall also apply for any Motion to Change Venue.Section Two, Paragraph 2.4. Additional Fees and Pricing Schedule. The Parties agree that the additional services listed in the "Additional Fees and Pricing Schedule" shall be billed in accordance with the fees set forth therein.The above-referenced Appendix appears later in this Agreement and contains a detailed description of the additional services, the applicable fees, and any related notes for each service.Any additional service not included in the Appendix shall require an Additional Services Proposal, which must be expressly accepted by THE CLIENT in order to become effective.Section Two, Paragraph 2.5. Change in Circumstances. If the circumstances initially disclosed by THE CLIENT change after the execution of this Agreement, THE CLIENT may be subject to termination of this Agreement or to the payment of additional legal fees necessary to address the changed circumstances.

This is the sum of money that THE CLIENT must pay for IOK to present the case before the appropriate immigration authority or court, as specified in Section 5.2 of this document.Failure to make said payment within the agreed timeframe shall render this contract null and void, and it shall have no legal effect.

Section Two, Paragraph 4.1. For defensive asylum proceedings, the full payment of all legal fees must be made no later than two (2) months before the date of the Individual Hearing before the Executive Office for Immigration Review ("EOIR").Section Two, Paragraph 4.2. IOK provides comprehensive legal services in other practice areas based on the agreed payment commitment, even if documents are filed before THE CLIENT has completed the payment plan. For example, in affirmative asylum cases, the full amount of the legal fees must be paid before the application is filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS"). Likewise, for any other applications submitted to USCIS or the National Visa Center ("NVC"), all legal fees must be paid in full before filing. However, THE CLIENT's payment plan may contain provisions allowing the remaining installments to be completed after the services have been provided.

In the event of non-compliance with the payment agreement, the following actions shall be taken:Issuance of a "Notice of Suspension of Services": Failure to make the required payments will result in the automatic issuance of a notice regarding the possible suspension of services, as established in Section Seven of this Agreement.Please note that Section Seven appears later in this Agreement and governs the suspension of the provision of services.Collection costs as additional legal work. IOK will notify CLIENT of any collection actions undertaken and the associated costs. IOK will not charge additional amounts for the same legal services. However, if CLIENT ceases making payments and IOK must continue working without compensation until authorization to withdraw representation is obtained, the following collection efforts may be considered additional legal work:Internal collection: If collection efforts are handled internally, CLIENT agrees to pay a collection fee based on the actual costs incurred by IOK during the collection process. This fee shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding balance and shall be calculated according to the time devoted to collection activities and the resources used. The internal collection fee is detailed in the Additional Services Schedule.External collection: If an external collection agency is retained to recover outstanding amounts related to the legal work, CLIENT will be notified and agrees that CLIENT's personal information may be shared with such agency for the purpose of collecting the unpaid debt.IOK will notify CLIENT of the total amount due, which shall include:The unpaid amount, that is, the principal balance.Interest accrued due to the payment default, calculated at an annual rate of 15% on the unpaid amount.Collection costs.Any financial costs incurred by IOK as a result of the inability to collect payment, including, but not limited to, returned check fees, bank transfer charges, or similar costs, as well as any other expenses associated with the collection process.Payment agreement: IOK shall determine whether the payment agreement referenced in Section 5.2 of this Agreement, or any other payment agreement accepted by CLIENT, shall remain in effect.If the payment agreement is deemed no longer valid, a new payment agreement will be required in order for IOK to continue providing services. Such agreement will be proposed by IOK to CLIENT.IOK may determine that entering into another payment agreement is not appropriate based on CLIENT's payment history and prior payment behavior.If the breach of the payment agreement results from the return or rejection of any payment method, including checks, bank transfers, or similar instruments, IOK reserves the right to require CLIENT to use a different payment method than the one that caused the default.Withdrawal of the Notice of Suspension of Services: IOK will continue its representation and make all of its resources available to CLIENT once CLIENT has paid the outstanding amount owed to IOK.

CLIENT understands and agrees that, by retaining IOK's services, CLIENT commits to paying a fee that covers the initial costs associated with the preparation, evaluation, and handling of CLIENT's case.
