calendrier trimestrial *glissant*

English translation: "sliding" quarterly (payment) schedule

10:20 Nov 21, 2001
French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / contracts
French term or phrase: calendrier trimestrial *glissant*
Still on the contract between two parties (definitions section, under Order):

Le seuil de commande minimum ouvrant accès aux modalités de paiement différé correspond au volume total du calendrier trimestriel **glissant** défini dans l’annexe 7.

Does this mean any three-month period?

English translation:"sliding" quarterly (payment) schedule
Explanation:
I presume that the "glissant" refers to some form of sliding scale of payment, but without the benefit of "annexe 7" where it should be more fully defined, it is impossible to know this for certain.

agree  Helen D. Elliot (X): with "sliding-scale (quarterly) payment schedule" The scale is an important part of the idea.

on a rolling quarterly basis


Explanation:
This means that the quarterly periods referred to do not coincide with the normal calendar quarterly periods i.e. Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun etc. Instead, the quarterly periods are defined as any period covering 3 months. Depending on the details you find in annex 7, this might be:

Jan-Mar, Feb-Apr, Mar-May, etc.

or, it could even be:

15Jan-14Mar, 16Jan-15Mar, 17Jan-16Mar, etc.

I hope this helps.
