WHOLESALE TRADE
TERMS OF SERVICE
TERMS
PREPAID SHIPMENT
-
Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade Accepts major credit cards, money orders, cashier's checks, company checks, ACH payments and wire transfers. If prepayment is not received within 15 days your order will be automatically canceled. Sorry, no C.O.D. deliveries.
-
All orders presented to Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade will have terms as stipulated on the applicable order unless otherwise specified by prior agreement. No terms or conditions of purchase orders different from the terms of Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade will become part of any sales agreement or other document unless specifically approved in writing by Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade.
-
If per special promotion, an invoice has discount terms, the invoice must be paid within those terms or the discount will be disallowed. The account will be notified of the amount of discount disallowed and the check number involved. This amount must be included on the next remittance to Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade. Discount due date is determined by invoice date. Under no circumstances can any discount be taken if paying by credit card.
-
Payment due dates are based upon the date of the original invoice.
-
We may at our option charge up to 1.5% per month for delinquent accounts
INVOICE ERROR OR DISCREPANCIES
-
If a customer believes there is an error on an invoice, they must contact their Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade Account Executive within 72 hours of delivery. It is then Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade responsibility to investigate that error and resolve it as soon as possible.
-
Holding payment on a full invoice or the entire account, when only part of an invoice requires adjustment, is a violation of terms and will subject the entire invoice or account to interest charges and may result in disallowed discounts, if applicable.
"NOT SUFFICIENT FUNDS" (NSF) CHECKS
-
A $25.00 charge will be assessed for all checks presented for payment which are returned to Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade due to insufficient funds and will be treated as an invoice for collection purposes.
-
If an account submits two such NSF checks, the account may be placed on a "certified funds only" status for a minimum of six months. After that time, a new credit investigation may be performed. Based upon the results of this investigation, the Credit Department may elect to return the account to open status or maintain the account on a "certified funds only" status.
-
We will not be held responsible for post-dated checks sent to our lockbox that are returned as Insufficient Funds (NSF).
"STOP PAYMENT" CHECKS
-
A $25.00 charge will be assessed for all checks presented for payment which are returned to Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade as STOP PAYMENT and will be treated as an invoice for collection purposes.
-
Any STOP PAYMENT check that is received without notification to Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade Credit Department will be construed as an attempt at fraud. An attempt to contact the customer will be made and will be immediately sent to collections if no reasonable settlement can be found, incurring any additional costs.
COLLECTION POLICY
-
In the event that payment of an invoice becomes past due, the account will be contacted by the Figueroa’s Wholesale Trade Credit Department to determine if any problems exist with the invoice. If the account believes there is an error on the invoice, the Credit Department will notify the Account Executive of the account status to resolve as soon as possible.
-
If there are no discrepancies on the invoice, the account will be reminded of our terms, including late interest charges, and asked when payment will be forthcoming. If an agreement cannot be reached on a mutually acceptable payment date, the account will be placed on credit hold, which will preclude the shipment of future orders on an open credit basis until the account is no longer delinquent.
-
At 60 days past due, and after reasonable attempts have been made at collecting the balance due, the account will be demanded payment and if acceptable agreements are not made, the account will be sent to an external collection agency. All additional costs will be charged to the account and the credit terms will revert to cash.
