Credit terms refer to the length of credit that is provided to a client for services and materials along with related matters such as the amount that must be paid upfront and when the repayments must start.
Credit is provided based on a clients payment history. A client must request credit in advance.
Terms are agreed prior to invoicing and if these terms are not followed the client may be subject to charges and having their accounts credit removed.
Accounts without credit will be expected to pay in advance for services and within a 24 hour period for limited materials. In some cases a client will be liable for materials and added expenses in advance. In these cases an 'upfront' payment as per a supplied estimate would be required.
