  4. Cancelled Orders: Where a client cancels an order after confirmation of the order but prior to any payment being made, the client will be liable for payment in full as if the order had not been cancelled.

  6. Prompt Payment: Payment is due in full on the day an order is confirmed. Where a client has repeat business with Earth First, and that client has demonstrated prompt payment on repeat business, Earth First may, at its discretion, review and extend it’s terms of credit to that client by allowing payment 7 or 14 days after confirmation of order or by the 20th of the month as the case may be.
