Business Practices for the PK Communications Co.

The following practices govern our conduct of business.  They are by their nature included in any and all agreements between PK Communications Co. and its customers, advertisers and their agencies.

Billing/Payments, etc.--Past advertising customers in good standing may, on a case by case
basis, be offered a deferred payment plan for advertising which consists of an up-front deposit of not less than 25 per cent of the total order and four equal installments to satisfy the balance, on a mutually agreeable schedule.  The company may, at its option, offer this discount to members of Empower Federal Credit Union (Syracuse, NY).

The company has a standard rate, and a discounted cash with order rate (never less than 15 percent discount; the amount varies by the product/service offered) for most products and services.  The standard rate is the basis for invoiced paper billing and agency discount.  The discounted cash rate is given to customers who remit full payment with order, whether by company payment cards (VISA,  MasterCard, Discover, American Express) ACH transfer, PayPal, cash or company check. There will be opportunities to make immediate, secure payments when rates are published on our web site.

If we invoice your business electronically, we will do so at the discounted rate.  There will be opportunities to use company payment cards or PayPal accounts to pay the balance due. The PK Communications Co. does not accept personal checks, but will accept personal payment cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) for payment for products.  This discount is built in to the price of microphone cords ordered from our adapters page.

For customers including advertising agencies or in-house advertising departments who elect to be billed with a paper invoice, a prompt payment of invoices is expected.  The customary advertising agency discount (not to exceed 15 per cent on time)  will be extended to customers in good standing. PK Communications Co. considers any invoice paid within 35 days of the invoice date as promptly paid. On day 36, a 2% interest charge (24% APR) is added to unpaid balances. If invoices are more than 60 days due, any advertising will be suspended until back balances are brought current. Customers experiencing cash flow problems may be allowed to work out a payment plan, where the balance is spread out over a 12 month period with an immediate payment and all subsequent payments to be made by company payment card, or ACH. Once the payment plan is completed, the business is then back in good standing. 

A $30.00 charge will be assessed for any returned check, reversed ACH or other paper or electronic instrument presented to PK Communications Co., that is not the result of bank error. That charge is waived if you present us with a letter on bank stationery admitting the error.

Professional Services (news consultancy) fees are billed on either an hourly rate of $373.75/hour (one hour minimum);  or a day rate of $805 plus expenses.  On-site visits will incur the following expenses for each day of training, supervision and installation: common carrier travel, lodging, and the allowance for meals and incidental expenses determined by the Federal Government.  Expenses will be billed separately and electronically, unless otherwise agreed.

One Hour of Billable Time, discounted

Two Days Billable Time, discounted

Contracts for Engineering Services, Equipment Sales, Installation and Maintenance are negotiated on a case by case basis. Our normal practice for projects includes a payment with inception (usually 33%); a 90-120 day in-progress payment (33%), and a settlement 180-270 days after inception.(34%).  Equipment Sales are done on a cash with order basis.

The DUNS number for PK Communications Co. is 066401394.
