You may still be required to track and submit time records for internal monitoring, project management, or invoicing purposes. The Payout Multiple if applicable will be mentioned in your contract under ‘special clauses’.

Payment is contingent upon the submission meeting all project requirements and successfully passing the quality review. No payment will be made for incomplete, rejected, or unapproved submissions. This fee will also be mentioned in your contract under ‘special clauses’.
