Payment & Deposit Policy

Clear terms before you ever pay a dollar.

Exactly what your deposit reserves, when your balance is due, and how annual plans renew.

These are our standard terms, published as reasonable industry defaults. Anything agreed in a signed proposal for your specific project takes precedence over this page. Policy version 2026-07-29.

50% Installation Deposit

Fixed-price installation packages are reserved with a 50% deposit paid securely online. The deposit confirms your project in our schedule and covers initial equipment procurement and design time. The remaining 50% is due upon project completion unless a different schedule is agreed in writing.

Accepted Payment Methods

All online payments are processed by our payment provider over an encrypted connection. We accept major credit and debit cards, and supported digital wallets. Hudson Smart Homes never sees or stores your full card number.

Final Balance

Your remaining balance appears in your customer portal once your installation is marked complete. You can pay it online from the portal, or arrange an alternative method with your project lead before completion.

Annual SmartCare Plans

SmartCare plans are billed annually in advance and renew automatically on the anniversary date until cancelled. You can update your payment method, view invoices, or cancel future renewals at any time from the billing area of your portal.

Custom-Designed Projects

Ultimate Smart Home AI and other custom-scope projects have no fixed online deposit. Pricing and the deposit amount are set on an approved written proposal following an in-person consultation.
