Lawyer as liquidated damage for opportunity costs.

(Ang Kliyente ay magbabayad ng Acceptance Fee kapag nagkaroon na ng

Kasunduan. Ang Kliyente ay magbibigay ng kopya ng pruweba ng pagbabayad,
kung ito ay sa bangko. Ang Kliyente ay sumasang-ayon na ang Acceptance Fee ng
Abogado ay hindi na ibabalik at maaring kunin ng Abogado bilang
pinagkasunduang danyos para sa mga pagkakataon na kanyang pinalampas.)

2. Payment shall mean the Client agrees to the rate for the legal services
and to the terms and conditions set forth in this document.

(Ang pagbabayad ay nangangahulugan na ang Kliyente ay umaayon sa

naitakdang halaga para sa serbisyong legal at sa mga kondisyon na nakasaad sa
dokumentong ito.)

3. The Client shall only pay in cash or via deposit. No post-dated checks
shall be accepted.

(Ang Kliyente ay magbabayad lamang ng cash o sa pamamagitan ng pag-deposito

nito sa bangko. Ang post-dated check ay hindi tatanggapin.)

at Desisyon ng Korte Suprema, at iba pang may kinalamang batas.)

5. Lawyer retains the right to charge Client costs for additional

undertakings outside of court proceedings, such as but not limited to
Appearance Fee, Staff Cost, Transportation, and Meal Allowance. Client
shall be informed and shall receive liquidation from the Lawyer.

(Ang Abogado ay may karapatan na singilin ang Kliyente sa ano mang gastusin
para sa karagdagang proseso o aksyon sa labas ng nasabing proseso sa korte, tulad
ng Appearance Fee, Staff Cost, Transportation, at Meal Allowance. Ang Kliyente
ay aabisuhan at bibigyan ng paglalahad ng nasabing gastusin).

6. The Lawyer retains the right to terminate the Client-Lawyer relationship
should the client, as solely determined by the Lawyer, chooses a course of
action that is contrary to the law, morals, good custom, and directive of the
Court, without reimbursement of the Legal Fee as defined above.

(Ang Abogado ay may karapatan na wakasan ang propesyonal na relasyon ng

Abogado at Kliyente kung ang huli, sa palagay ng una, ay pipili ng mga aksyon na
labag at labas sa batas, sa moralidad, mabuting nakagawian at direktiba ng Korte,
nang hindi kinakailangang isauli ang Legal Fees na nakasaad sa itaas.)

7. In no case shall a postponement due to reason outside the control of the

(Signature of Client)(Signature of Lawyer)

actual amount recovered either by judicial or extra-judicial means. It means
if nothing is collected, the Lawyer will also get no Success Fee.

(Ang Success Fee ay kabayarang nakadepende sa pagkapanalo o pagkakabalik ng

Halaga o Halagang itinakda ng Korte o proseso sa labas ng Korte.
Nangangahulugan na kung hindi Manalo o walang mabawing Halaga, wala ring
