Standard payment terms

The following is an extract from our standard terms and conditions. "Unless otherwise agreed, invoices will be payable within 30 calendar days of the date of invoice". Consultants are paid 14 days from invoice date. Where payment from customers is contingent on acceptance of the work, payment terms with suppliers may be mutually agreed on a back-to-back basis whereby suppliers are paid within seven working days of receipt of cleared funds from the customer. Payment to the supplier may therefore exceed 30 day terms.
