Introduction
In the context of a highly regulated and competitive pharmaceutical industry, our company has established transparent, legally compliant, and investor-oriented sales conditions. These conditions are designed to facilitate effective partnerships while ensuring compliance with national and international regulatory bodies. The following structured overview outlines the legal, commercial, and procedural frameworks governing sales transactions, payment protocols, and customer obligations.
1. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
All sales and payment transactions are conducted in accordance with applicable local and international laws governing pharmaceutical trade, financial transparency, and consumer rights. The company is fully aligned with Good Distribution Practice (GDP), ISO-certified financial practices, and relevant banking regulations concerning payment instruments such as cheques and digital transactions.
2. Payment Terms and Accepted Methods
We offer a variety of secure and verifiable payment channels, ensuring flexibility and trust between our company and our clients:
a. Cash Payments
- Goods may be paid for in cash upon delivery to the customer by a certified company representative.
- An official receipt is issued immediately upon transaction completion.
b. Bank Cheques
- Cheques are accepted upon delivery, conditional upon verification and registration under the purchasing customer’s corporate account.
- Payment timelines are segmented as follows:
- Early Payment (up to the 3rd of the following month): Eligible for a full cash discount as per the historical payment agreement.
-
Delayed Payment (after the 3rd): Eligible for a reduced discount (0.5% deduction), subject to World Bank clearance and commission fees.
c. Returned or Bounced Cheques
- A 3% penalty fee plus applicable banking charges will be levied on any cheque returned for insufficient funds or other discrepancies.
- Customers issuing non-viable cheques will be transitioned to a minimum six-month probationary cash-only payment status.
d. Digital Payment (Visa/MasterCard)
- Orders placed through the company’s online platform may be paid for via secure credit card transaction prior to shipment dispatch.
- Transactions are encrypted and adhere to PCI DSS compliance standards for customer data protection.
3. Discount Structures and Incentive Segments
Discounts are applied based on payment timeliness and transaction type, offering tiered financial benefits for early or compliant payments:
- Cash Discounts: Provided for payments made within a predefined window as outlined in contractual agreements.
- Volume-Based Incentives: Clients placing bulk or recurring orders may qualify for progressive discount tiers based on order frequency and size, pending management approval.
4. Financial Risk Management and Customer Classification
Each customer is evaluated based on historical transaction behavior, payment consistency, and financial standing. Risk-based segmentation determines eligibility for deferred payment, credit extensions, or prepayment requirements:
- Low-Risk Clients: May access extended payment windows and higher discount tiers.
- Moderate to High-Risk Clients: Subject to stricter controls, immediate payment terms, or cash-only policies.
5. Contractual Obligations and Dispute Resolution
