Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

With the exception of broking transactions Corney and Barrow does not have standard terms. Differing payment terms are agreed as between the UK and overseas suppliers during the course of contractual negotiations. It should be noted that in the case of broking transactions 30 days payment terms mean payment will be made in the week in which the 30 day period falls. Therefore payment could be up to 34 days from the broking sale but still be within agreed terms
