Abstract
This paper proves that timing of payment, whether a price is paid ex-ante or ex-post, makes no difference. The equivalence is valid, with or without litigation. However, litigation always gives buyers some advantage, while it inflicts loss to sellers. This paper recommends vendors not to shirk.
