SPSS Policy Regarding Purchase Orders

Purchase Orders (P.O.) must meet the following criteria in order to be accepted as a method of payment by SPSS:

  1. SPSS Inc. standard payment terms are net 30 days—anything other than net 30 will need approval before the order is shipped.
  2. P.O.s sent to SPSS Inc. must be clear and legible, including any terms and conditions. If a P.O. is received that is not clear and legible, SPSS will contact the customer for replacement.
  3. The P.O. must have information regarding where and to whom SPSS should bill-to and ship-to.
  4. If purchase order has a signature line, an authorized agent of the customer must sign it.
  5. If terms and conditions exist on the P.O. they must be sent with the P.O.
  6. If terms and conditions on the P.O. are other than the standard terms and conditions of SPSS Inc., the terms and conditions will be reviewed by SPSS legal, and the customer will be advised if they are acceptable.
  7. All items and dollar totals on the P.O. must match items ordered, including service dates.
  8. If customer's P.O. is titled anything other than "Purchase Order," SPSS will contact you for verification.
  9. If bill-to and ship-to addresses are omitted or do not appear, SPSS will contact customer for clarification.

SPSS Inc. will accept purchase orders on orders $1,000 and up. Orders under $1,000 must have either pre-payment or credit card payment in order to ship.
