Excerpt
Excerpt Funds deposited into the central receiving account will also carry the following information for monthly customer receipts and record company profits: price per transaction, type of transaction (i.e., savings account, checking account, credit card), account or card number, terminal identification number, date of transaction, time of transaction, transaction referral number and approval number of the bank or credit card company. Each record will receive the date and selection number as a code number for accounting and processing. If a record is rebroadcast at a later date, it should not be listed under the same selection number as previously offered to avoid accounting and code number confusion. Monies due via subscriber selections will be sent to the appropriate record companies and publishers. At the first of each month the subscriber will receive their service and/or receiver leasing bill for the up-coming month and last month's purchase statement with the subscriber account number, date, selection number and title, price per selection and total monthly billing to cross reference with their checking account statement. |
