Payment is required 100% upfront. Work begins only after payment is received and cleared. Autopay is recommended for accounts requesting a smaller monthly payment, but cannot be extended credit through Hutton Broadcasting financing.
50% downpayment is required. Work begins only after the down payment is received and cleared. The remaining payment schedule is outlined by Hutton Broadcasting in the credit approval offer.
Full balance is due no later than the payment terms outlined in your credit offer and cannot exceed the credit limit granted to your account through the term of your agreement.
Terms may be reduced or a lower credit limit may be assigned. Pre-payment or a Personal Guarantee may be required. The account is subject to financing charges as outlined by Hutton Broadcasting in the credit approval offer.
- Invoicing: Invoices are delivered monthly by the 5th of each month.
- Payment Due Date: Payment must be made no later than the invoice due date to maintain credit status.
A personal guarantee may be required for businesses that are considered high-risk. This is typically required if the business is less than 2 years old, is a Sole Proprietor, or if the credit requested exceeds $5,000.
- The undersigned Guarantor personally guarantees all charges, including outstanding balances and collection costs.
If your account does not qualify for a credit line, or you do not wish to apply for credit, we offer a few options for payment.
- Pre-Pay Autopay – A saved payment method is automatically processed at the start of each month for the services provided in that month.
- Pre-Pay in full – Payment for all services ordered are paid in full at the time the order is signed and placed.
- Payment Arrangement – A downpayment is required. Work begins only after the down payment is received and cleared. The remaining payment schedule is outlined by Hutton Broadcasting. This option only applies to specific service types or may require a credit application if the order type does not qualify for a payment arrangement.
Payment Options Overview
If you choose to decline the application for credit and wish to set up a prepay autopay arrangement, this can easily be completed in one of the 3 ways below. We offer two types of autopay payments, Bank Payment (ACH) and Credit Card. Credit card payments are subject to a 3% card processing fee.
