All potential clients will have a call with me before we commence our working relationship, in order to ensure that we are a good fit for one another. All rights reserved in terms of who we agree to work with.

Payments

Payments are due on receipt of invoice.
No work will be started until payment has been made
Pay as you grow packages are non-refundable and are valid for that calendar month only e.g. hours bought in January are only valid for January.
Package deals do not include costs for phone calls, clients need to provide SL Virtual Solutions with a paid for means to be able to conduct any phone calls required (eg. Skype account with credit)
Any additional costs such as printing, posting etc will be invoiced for separately and due within a 7 day period
All details (e.g. templates, passwords or processes etc.) should be submitted along with work at time of submission. We will not schedule work until all the materials are received.
When submitting databases or marketing work, your virtual assistant will ask you how people requested this information and ask for proof of validation in order to comply with GDPR.

Turnover of work

Our usual turnaround of work is next working day, for all work under one hour long received and acknowledged by us before 5pm. The reason behind this is that at 5pm each evening we schedule the following day’s work.
For example: any work send to us during the day on Monday would be returned at the latest by end of day on Tuesday. Work sent after 5pm on Monday would be scheduled for Wednesday. This lets us schedule our day and complete work to a deadline that works for all of our clients.
Work which is over an hour long will be scheduled and you will be given an ETA when we acknowledge receipt of the job.
For non-standard or one-off jobs turnaround times will be advised in the acknowledgement email.
It is up to you to check work which we return and raise any queries forthwith thereafter.
Please note that we do not work on South African public holidays, and are closed between Christmas and New Years. We will of course send out notice of exact closing dates on a yearly basis, at least 1 month in advance so you can plan accordingly your side also.

Programs we work on

We use the following programs on a regular basis: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Excel, Adobe Acrobat PDF, Adobe Photoshop, Canva, Skype, Slack, G suite, Outlook, Xero, Wave, Monday.com and many others.
Should you have a specific program you would like us to use, and it is not a free program, please note you will have to purchase/share the login for us to be able to use this program.
Should you wish us to work on a program that we are not familiar with, training will need to be provided either by the client or a third party, and time spend on this will be billed for accordingly and taken out of your plan.
