Otherwise payment will be direct credited to the client’s designated bank account. Where no bank account has been nominated, payment will be made by cheque mailed to the seller’s latest address as recorded by Ellis Bros. The exception is when public holidays in New Zealand or Australia occur during the three-day period. This will extend the due date for settlement. 6.
