       The payment terms for the car audio consultation service are structured to provide flexibility and value for clients. Here’s how it works:

1) Hourly Rate

• The service is priced at $250 per hour. This rate includes a one-on-one consultation session with Nick Apicella, where you’ll receive expert advice and a detailed plan tailored to your specific car audio needs.

2) Credit Towards Product Purchases

• Consultation Fee Credit: Every dollar spent on the consultation can be credited toward a product purchase through ResoNix within 30 days. This is capped at 40% of the product’s total value.
• For example:
  • If you pay for 1 hour ($250) of consultation and purchase $500 worth of products, you can apply $200 (40% of $500) from your consultation fee toward the purchase.
  • If you buy only $100 worth of product, only $40 of your consultation fee would be applied. However, you can still use the remaining balance ($210) towards another product purchase, provided it’s within the 30-day window.

3) Flexibility and Partial Application

• The remaining balance from your consultation fee can be applied to multiple purchases as long as they fall within the 30-day period. This means you are not restricted to using the full credit on one product, providing you with the flexibility to plan your purchases strategically.

4) Refund Policy

• The consultation fee is non-refundable, as it covers the time and expertise provided during the session. However, the opportunity to apply the credit toward product purchases ensures that you receive tangible value from your investment in the service.

       This structure ensures that clients not only receive expert guidance but also have the chance to recoup part of their consultation fee through discounted product purchases, making the service both practical and financially beneficial.
