Escovale Terms and Conditions

Delivery Prices are inclusive of first class or airmail postage. We aim to mail published reports within two days of receipt of order. Courier delivery can be arranged, if required, for a small surcharge.

Value Added Tax Under current legislation, "hard-copy" report prices are not subject to Value Added Tax, but European clients should include their VAT numbers for administrative purposes. Reports published in "electronic" format (when available) and single-client consultancy assignments undertaken for UK clients will be subject to VAT. Invoices for clients from other European Union countries will not include VAT, if the clients provide their VAT numbers (in other cases, VAT will be charged at the prevailing UK rate). Naturally, no VAT charges are added for clients outside the scope of UK and EU legislation.

Payment Terms For Sourcebooks, payment is requested at the time of order (but previous EscoVale clients may ask for an invoice to be sent with the report for subsequent payment). For Management Reports, our standard procedure is to submit an invoice on receipt of order. The invoice will be mailed with the report, if the report is published at the time of order. Payment is requested within 30 days of the invoice date. Please contact EscoVale, if you wish to discuss alternative arrangements (for example, ordering prior to publication or if you are participating through a "package" arrangement and would like to defer part of the payment until completion of the contract). For Consultancy Assignments, payment terms will be agreed on a case-by-case basis.

Payment may be made by cheque/check, by credit card or by direct bank transfer free of all charges for EscoVale.
