Okay.

I'm just trying to understand the rationale here. I'll quote from page 3 of your document: “...under a deferred payment contract providing for payment not later than 30 days from the date of delivery. The sellers offering terms longer than 30 days would not qualify for protection under this Act.”

What's the rationale for those who would want to set terms longer than 30 days? Is that the risk factor?
