-
Price and Payment. Prices of the Product are listed on partner.newflora.com “Website”.

Customer shall pay invoiced amounts due to Company. Customer may pay Company utilizing two types of purchasing options via wire transfer in accordance with the following payment schedule.

- Inventory Purchase. This is a purchase of physical products intended to be shipped immediately after payment.
-
Inventory Credit. This is a prepayment for products that will be shipped at a later date. It is designed for customers who want to pay for a large bulk of inventory in advance. The products will be shipped in batches over time, ideal for customers with limited storage or other logistical considerations.
- Price Changes. If Company changes any pricing, the customer's quantity of inventory credits will not adjust according to any price change. Any credits will remain according to the original purchase price.

- In the case of inventory credit refunds, no physical products need to be returned, and the refund will be processed accordingly. For products purchased during a sales promotion or under a special discount, refunds will be calculated based on the original promotional price paid at the time of purchase, rather than the full retail or wholesale price.
- Additionally, refunds will be adjusted in accordance with Company’s tiered pricing structure. For example, if a customer purchased 200 units at a discount applicable to orders of 200 or more units and later returns 100 units, the refund will be recalculated based on the discount available for 100 units, which would result in a lesser refund.
- For refunds exceeding $5,000, Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to either process the full refund immediately or divide the refund into monthly installments.

- In the case of inventory credit refunds, no physical products need to be returned, and the refund will be processed accordingly.

- Shipping Cost. Customers are responsible for the cost of shipping their orders, including any applicable fees and charges associated with the delivery of products.

"Earnable income" will be calculated according to the current non-discounted retail price of the Products and the quantity of unreturned Products which can be sold or have already been sold.
