Please note when ordering by Purchase Order
All goods remain the property of Contemporary Arts Media until they are paid for in full.  Payment is required within 21 days of invoice date and late payments will attract a 5% surcharge.  Without payment of your invoice you do not have the requisite license. Using the films without payment after 21 days is illegal and in breach of international copyright law.

We find this service to be reliable and economical.
