The terms which indicate when payment is due for sales made on account (or credit). For example, the credit terms might be 2/10, net 30. This means the amount is due in 30 days; however, if the amount is paid in 10 days a discount of 2% will be permitted. Other terms might be net 10 days, due upon receipt, net 60 days, etc.

"Thank you so much for putting this site together. It's been ten years since I earned my degree in accounting and there's a great deal I've forgotten. So when I signed up with an employment agency and they wanted to do testing, I was very nervous. I did a search and came to your site for a refresher. I ended up getting very high scores and received a job offer. And then the company I was already working for offered me a better position and a 12% pay increase. I'm sure my scores wouldn't have been nearly as good if I hadn't come to this site, so thank you again!" - S.V.
