# Payment to Sellers after Buyer collection **Step 1: Buyer Collection** * Buyers collect the goods from the **Inspection Warehouse or approved inspection partner** only after: * Full payment has been confirmed (deposit + final payment including VAT) * The **Intake Report** confirms that the goods conform to the Order ### **Step 2: Payment Timing** * Parallel pays the Seller’s invoice **after the Buyer has completed collection**. * If deviations were found and accepted by the Buyer (with or without discount), payment may be adjusted accordingly. ### **Step 3: Handling Rejected Goods** * If goods are rejected, Parallel may **withhold or adjust payment** until the issue is resolved. * Sellers are responsible for retrieval or disposal of rejected goods within **five business days**, including all associated costs. ### **Tips for Sellers** * Ensure accurate and compliant delivery to avoid delays in payment. * Monitor Intake Reports closely for any deviations noted by the inspection team. * Keep communication lines open with Parallel to resolve disputes quickly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
