Attorney review recommended

HAVE YOUR ATTORNEY REVIEW THIS SECTION BEFORE YOU PRINT A NUMBER IN IT. Late fees, interest, and returned-payment charges on consumer invoices are limited in many places, and a figure that exceeds the local limit can be unenforceable, or expose you, while a plain lawful one holds.

Balance due by [date / on delivery / before setup begins; state which].

Accepted payment methods: [list the methods you actually take].

Late payment: [your terms, if any].

Returned payment: [your terms, if any].

This invoice records amounts agreed in the signed rental agreement dated [date]. If the two ever differ, the signed agreement controls.

Questions about this invoice: [name] · [phone] · [email].

8. Notes

[Anything the customer needs to know: the deposit is non-refundable, the weather policy applies, the balance is due before setup, an access requirement they agreed to, or a thank-you.]

Keep this short. An invoice is a bill, not a second contract. The terms live in the agreement it references.
