Tech/Engineering - Furniture / Household Appliances / Forms of Payment | | Spanish term or phrase: Giro domiciliado a la vista | SPAIN /Valencia:

Pero mira lo que encontré en un documento de una compañía española precisamente:
3. CONDICIONES DE PAGO:
a. RECAMBIOS:
Giro domiciliado a 30 días
b. MÁQUINAS:
Giro domiciliado con vencimientos de cobro pactados previamente.
Especialmente el párrafo b. me parece que corresponde con lo de que "Money is payable ... or when the completed documents are presented, or within a specified period called days of grace.

Asker: But in Spain"Giro domiciliado" is a standing order Giro payment which goes through automatically, so I don't see where the "sight" bit comes in... not my speciality I must add :)
