You have 72 hours to pay for items after we send you the invoice.

Otherwise you will be subject to a $10 of late payment fee. Then, another $10.00 fee will be imposed each additional 10 days period. If 30 days have passed without a payment, the item will become the property of Japamart and be disposed of or resold to recoup our expenses.
