1 acknowledgement: An "acknowledgement of receipt" is an official confirmation of reception (for merchandise or a letter for example) sent by a recipient to the sender. This type of confirmation has a few names in English-speaking countries and is sometimes even called an "AR" (avis de réception). Other terms include "a return receipt" or "notice of receipt". Acknowledgments of receipt can be sent either by the recipient or by the postal service or delivery service (UPS, DHL etc) making the delivery. On its own the term "acknowledgement" describes the confirmation of something (an email or letter for example).
2 receipt: An "acknowledgement of receipt" is an official confirmation of reception (for merchandise or a letter for example) sent by a recipient to the sender. This type of confirmation has a few names in English-speaking countries and is sometimes even called an "AR" (avis de réception). Other terms include "a return receipt" or "notice of receipt". Acknowledgments of receipt can be sent either by the recipient or by the postal service or delivery service (UPS, DHL etc) making the delivery. Note that in a different context a receipt can also describe proof or documentation of a purchase.
3 balance: The "balance" of a sum of money is what remains after part of it has been deducted or paid. For example: I had 100 dollars in my account. After buying a 20 dollar book, the remaining balance of the account is 80 dollars. In Cheryl's order, it is specified that the remaining balance (of the total amount owed to the Delavigne Corporation) will be paid within 30 days of the delivery date of the merchandise.
4 working: A "working" (or "business") day is any day of the week in which people normally work. In the United States, these days exclude Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. If a package is supposed to arrive in 10 business days, then it may take 14 days to actually arrive, as weekends aren't counted in the time of delivery.
5 billing address: A "billing address" is the address to which a bill or demand of payment will be sent. It may be a home or business. We distinguish "shipping addresses" and "billing addresses" because companies often have separate account and billing offices which manage payments and sales as opposed to shipping addresses (which might be warehouses for example). In Cheryl's order, the billing address is in Palo Alto, California.
6 null: The expression "null and void" is often found in the conditions of contracts, license agreements, warrantees and other legal documents. It describes the cancellation, or the invalidity of an agreement or document when certain conditions aren't met, or simply annuls the deal. In Cheryl's order, it is specified this order becomes "null and void" if the conditions for payment aren't respected.
7 void: The expression "null and void" is often found in the conditions of contracts, license agreements, warrantees and other legal documents. It describes the cancellation, or the invalidity of an agreement or document when certain conditions aren't met, or simply annuls the deal. In Cheryl's order, it is specified this order becomes "null and void" if the conditions for payment aren't respected.
8 delivery: A "delivery" date is the date upon which a "shipment" arrives (by air, ground or sea) at its destination. In Cheryl's letter she specifies a delivery date (October 31st) by which time she wants to receive the merchandise purchased from the Delavigne Corporation. Although Cheryl might not specify the "shipping date" (the day the items will be sent or "shipped" out), she is likely to specify the day she expects to receive the shipment from Delavigne. The conditions of payment also specify that Sheik Jafar will send one installment on the delivery date and the final payment within 30 days of the delivery.
