2. Incoterms Principles Delivery conditions , not payment conditions! Seller and buyer agree on the delivery of goods. Usually, they refer to standardized terms . This speeds up the process and increases the transparency and mutual understanding. Incoterms (= International Commercial Terms), are prepared by the International Chamber of Commerce.
