Terms of Sale
Trade Policy
1) Prepayment is required for initial orders and for purchasers who do not respect payment terms. In the alternative, payment can be guaranteed with Visa, MasterCard or AmEx. These will be charged only if payment is not made when due.
2) Payment for established accounts is 30 days in the USA and 60 days overseas. No discount is allowed for payments that are not made on time. Payments may be made by credit card as well as by checks and wire payment.
3) Discounts are established to encourage the sale of multiple copies of our books. Booksellers who take orders from customers who are responding to our own marketing do not receive maximum discounts.
