Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Carton (74 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1528 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
