6. Customer Information
6.1 New Accounts: New Retailers might request to be added as new accounts providing to Supplier the following documents:
-
Fully completed & signed Dealer Application
-
Valid State Resale Tax Certificate. Note: By Law, a resale number alone DOES NOT meet this
requirement. In case there is not a valid resale certificate, Supplier will apply sales taxes
-
Completed & signed personal guarantee for terms accounts.
-
Additional information may be required in order for Supplier to better understand your business and make an informed credit decision, including financials, tax returns or bank accounts.
Terms of credit are determined by the Credit Department of Supplier upon submission of a completed Dealer Application. Supplier reserves the right to refuse to open an account based on the information provided upon application.
