Payment terms at elvinci - fair, clear & up to 28 days

A fair and transparent payment model is a clear advantage in the returns trade. The principle is simple: those who pay reliably and behave fairly are rewarded with longer payment terms - up to 28 days. Those who do not comply with agreements, on the other hand, must expect to have their payment terms downgraded. The new model thus reduces the pressure to pay, creates commitment and ensures clear rules that apply equally to everyone.

Payment terms in practice - how the graduated model works

The model is based on simple rules

New customers always start with prepayment and payment of the invoice within 3 days. Anyone who makes 3 deliveries/collections in a row and pays on time increases from prepayment to 7 days.
Thereafter, a payment term of 7 days applies, which is automatically extended after 3 timely payments for 3 deliveries/collections.
After 3 timely payments for 3 deliveries/collections in a row, the payment term increases from 7 days to 14 days.
If 3 more payments are received on time for 3 deliveries/collections after 14 days, the payment term increases to 21 days.
The maximum that can be achieved is 28 days.

Important: In the event of late payment, the payment term is immediately reduced by 7 days. Those who remain reliable benefit in the long term.
