Valley Floral Company, Inc is happy to extend to its customers the privilege of a 30-day open charge account. The following is a detailed explanation to help you understand exactly how it works:

All accounts are initially set up on a COD basis. Fresh flowers will only be sold to florists doing business on a full time basis with an appropriate flower cooler (which will be inspected).

Invoices charged on the first, middle or last of the month become due and payable on the first of the following month. On that date we will mail statements. You then have until the 12th of that month to receive a 2% discount on all current invoices. Invoices that are marked net are not entitled to the 2% discount. Discounts are available on Fresh and Supplies BUT NOT ON Greenhouse purchases or deilvery/fuel surcharges. Many of our customers are taking advantage of this opportunity to save money. If you are one of them, we say THANKS! Remember, however, that your envelope MUST be postmarked by the 12th of the month to receive this discount, and we will be checking postmarks carefully. If a postmark reads the 13th of the month, the discount is not allowed and will not be given so please do not deduct it. There will be no exceptions to this. Discounts are not allowed on past due balances.

If payment is not received within a 30 day period FROM THE DATE OF THE STATEMENT (OR THE FIRST OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH) A FINANCE CHARGE OF 2% (TWO PERCENT) WILL BE ADDED. Also, on that date, if your balance remains unpaid, your account will become COD and all sales will be cash or COD until the balance due is paid in full. At that time a minimum of $100.00 will be added to each shipment sent to you as a payment on the old balance. (*Note: if your past due balance is under $100.00, that amount will be added.) Also, while on past due COD there will be no prepaid freight and no cash discounts. The third time that your account goes COD or the third time that no check is left for the driver, you will be required to pre-pay future orders with a credit card or electronic check. If your account remains unpaid for 120 days, you are in danger of having it placed for collection. In case of litigation, the case would be heard in Wichita, Kansas (Sedgwick County). NOTE: Our charge for an NSF check is $50.00.

Methods of Payment: We accept cash, check, money orders and the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card and American Express. In addition, with your authorization, we can accept an ACH debit (check by phone) from your checking account.

Statements are sent on the first day of each month. If you find that our statement does not agree with your invoices, please let us know as soon as possible so that we may investigate the discrepancy.

We would like to thank you for your cooperation in helping us by complying with these terms.

This policy was revised November 17th, 2004.

Note: All accounts are initially set up on a COD basis.
