GLS Checklist: Payment Clause

US$99

The Problem: You need to review/prepare a Payment Clause.

You need to know what to look for when reviewing payment clauses.

Related challenges include: 

  • the payment clauses may delay payment far beyond what is commercially reasonable for your business
  • you may not realise the agreement allows the customer to withhold or offset payments too easily
  • you may miss payment triggers linked to vague acceptance or approval requirements
  • you may not know whether invoicing obligations align with your operational processes
  • you may overlook rights allowing disputed amounts to delay payment of undisputed amounts
  • you may not identify refund obligations that create disproportionate financial exposure
  • you may fail to spot pricing adjustment or unilateral fee reduction mechanisms
  • you may assume payment clauses are routine wording when they often drive major cash flow risk
  • you may not know what payment positions are market standard versus commercially aggressive
  • the problem becomes worse when reviewing large customer or procurement-driven paper
