Payment Terms
Vortx's may be ordered with credit cards, but floor model fund raising Wells cannot be ordered with credit cards.
Floor-Model Wells
If you are in the United States and are an established public institution, a pre-approved corporate account, or other similar entity, you may request the use of a purchase order. Please ask for instructions or call us at 1-937-384-0003.
If you do not qualify for that option, we will ship immediately upon receipt of payment by cashier's check, money order, or bank wire. Other checks will await bank clearance.
International
Some organizations in Canada are allowed to order with the payment "due on receipt," but most require pre-payment before we can ship. All orders from outside the USA and Canada require pre-payment. The majority of our international customers use bank wire transfers which is also our preference. Some use bank checks.
All payments must be in US Dollars.
A large portion of our business is providing Wells internationally. By buying directly from our factory, you can save the mark-up of a local reseller who would also pass on the same shipping cost. With today's easy communication, payment, and shipping options, combined with our ever-ready inventory, it is our pleasure to serve international customers with the same speed and service as those in the USA.
If you are an international customer (outside the USA), we need to receive payment before we can ship. The majority of our international customers use bank wire transfers which is also our preference. After we have answered all your questions and you have decided on the size and color, we will make a one-page Pro-Forma Invoice with those details, the shipping quote, your shipping address, the total amount due, and our bank wire instructions. If you have not sent bank wires before, it is very simple. You just take that Pro-Forma page to your bank, and they will send a wire to our account. If it is a stock item, we will ship the next day. If it is a custom order, we will start building it the next day.

Financing
We do not offer payment plans since we never receive any portion of the money tossed into a Well. It is important that we avoid any conflict of interest, which is an important point for our customers and the media to understand.
However, you can get local financing…someone or some entity that will fund the upfront cost of a Well, then you can pay them back with 50% of the proceeds (it can be any percentage…we suggest an even split until it is paid off). That way, you are receiving new money for your project immediately, and they start getting repaid immediately. In reality, you are still receiving 100% of the revenue. You are using it to purchase the Well just like you would purchase office supplies or any other item you need to operate your organization. Some organizations have asked people to be sponsors, but when they declined, asked them if they would do it as a loan. That has worked for quite a few organization. The key is doing whatever it takes to get started. Once the Well is paid off, 100% of the revenue is yours to use any way you wish.
Large Quantity Financing: Financing plans through a third party agency are available for large quantities that are part of a regional or national program or chain of stores.
