del credere agent

Read a random definition: literal proof

A quick definition of del credere agent:

A del credere agent is a type of agent who guarantees that the person they make a contract with for their principal will pay for the goods or services they receive. They receive a higher commission for this service. They are not legally required to be able to make contracts themselves, but they must be capable of performing their duties.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A del credere agent is an agent who guarantees the solvency of the third party with whom the agent makes a contract for the principal. This agent receives possession of the principal's goods for purposes of sale and guarantees that anyone to whom the agent sells the goods on credit will pay promptly for them. For this guaranty, the agent receives a higher commission for sales. The promise of such an agent is almost universally held not to be within the statute of frauds.

Example: A company hires a del credere agent to sell their products to retailers. The agent guarantees that the retailers will pay for the products on time, even if they sell them on credit to their customers. If a retailer fails to pay, the del credere agent is responsible for the payment. In return for this guarantee, the agent receives a higher commission for sales.

Explanation: The del credere agent acts as a guarantor for the principal, ensuring that the third party will fulfill their obligations. This type of agent is commonly used in the sale of goods on credit, where there is a risk of non-payment. The del credere agent takes on this risk in exchange for a higher commission. This arrangement benefits both the principal and the agent, as it allows the principal to sell their products on credit without assuming the risk of non-payment, and it allows the agent to earn a higher commission for taking on this risk.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
