HOW TO ORDER
Most of our customers prefer to order parts for which the part number has been worked out by our application engineers. This website does, however, provide guidance so that customers can work out a part number without consulting the factory. In cases where this approach is used, please include your specifications when ordering so that an applications engineer can verify that the correct part number was used.

RECEIPT OF ORDER
Orders received by email, fax, or telephone will be accepted and conditionally processed until a hard copy purchase order is received.

PAYMENT OPTIONS
Reactel offers several convenient payment methods including: Net 30 Account (subject to credit approval), MasterCard, Visa, and wire transfer. Please specify a payment method when you place your order.

All invoices are due and payable 30 days from the date of invoice, unless other arrangements have been made at the time of the order.

INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT TERMS
Unless previous authorization has been granted, all international orders are to be paid in full prior to shipment. Reactel accepts no responsibility for bank fees, taxes, duties, tariffs or other miscellaneous charges.

CYBERCRIME
Cybercrime fraud is a real and increasing threat, particularly the risk of criminals intercepting emails and fraudulently changing legitimate bank account details with the objective of stealing funds.  Please be vigilant and use caution when responding to any requests for your bank details.  Reactel’s bank details will not change during the course of a transaction.  If you receive an email or any other method of contact requesting or changing bank details, telephone (do not respond to the email) Reactel immediately to clarify before any transactions take place.  Be aware that a phishing email (one that is not from a legitimate source) may contain fraudulent contact details; please identify our legitimate details using means other than email.  Avoid being a victim – Reactel will not accept responsibility if a transfer of money is made to an incorrect bank account.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
From time to time, complex orders may be subject to a “Program Management” fee.  This fee will be listed on Reactel quotations as a separate line item and will be based on a percentage of the total order.  Imposition of this fee is solely at the discretion of Reactel and is in consideration of the complex scope of a particular order.
