This is the answer I used, but later it occured to me that "within reasonable limits" would be a better colloction in English

Explanation:
We ask that you let us know what you are asking with regard to cost, so that we can try to come to some sort of compromise.

I don't think that a literal translation of "en su justo termino" will work here in English. The phrase means something like "exactly", which is reflected in my suggested translation.

Suerte.
