Study Notes
Rules Protecting Competition
- Agreements between competitors are prohibited when they attempt to increase, decrease, or fix prices.
Payment Methods
- Documentary Credit: a payment method where a buyer pays only when specific conditions are met (e.g., receiving purchased goods).
- Letter of Guarantee: a document issued by a bank promising to pay a beneficiary an amount without conditions, usually requiring a client to provide a security (an asset that the bank can take if it pays the beneficiary).
