Credit Limit
Balcrank will establish a credit limit for distributor based on a comprehensive credit review. Balcrank reserves the right to change this limit at any time, at its discretion.
Past Due Invoices
Past due invoices will incur a finance charge for carrying balances beyond the invoiced terms or the maximum rate allowable by law, whichever is less. The finance charge for customer accounts is computed by a periodic rate of 1.5% per month which is an annual percentage rate of 18% to be applied to all past due balances. Invoices, that are past due more than 30 days, may result in the withholding of additional shipments to the distributor.
Effective January 2023 invoices paid by credit card will have a 3.5% miscellaneous charge added to the credit card bill.
Freight
All shipments to the distributor are F.O.B. Balcrank factory and Balcrank chooses carrier/routing. The distributor may choose another carrier, but will need to pay the difference in cost from what Balcrank would pay using its authorized carrier.
Customers who require expedited freight, such as overnight or second day will be responsible for expedited freight expenses.
