English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / net 30 days from date of shipment
English term or phrase: fromdate ofshipment
Quotation:

PAYMENT TERMS - All sales, if on credit, are net 30 days from date of shipment, unless otherwise specified on invoice. In the event Buyer fails to make full payment within such 30 day period, the unpaid balance of the invoice shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% for each full or partial month such invoice remains unpaid for which Buyer will be liable. In the event Bromiley incurs any expense collecting a past due invoice, Buyer shall pay for all collection costs, including attorney’s fees and court costs, if any, incurred in collection.

(Does the expression "net 30 days from date of shipment" mean the payment should be done within 30 daus before the shipment ??)

  -> Sven, thanks for your response.
agree  Charles Davis: Correct; date of shipment (in the US at least) means date of issuance of bill of lading when shippers receive the goods, before actual dispatch. // I think it's different in UK; DOS is actual date of loading/dispatch; bill of lading is not dated earlier

  -> Thanks, Charles, would the DOS be considered when received in the UK? / Sounds like the difference may be when it arrives to shipper vs. when it departs shipper's premises for delivery, which leads me to wonder about that middle time, lol! Thanks again!
