that on the production of it (whether or not some other action is also required) he will supply cash, goods and services (or any of them) on credit, or
that where, on the production of it to a third party (whether or not any other action is also required), the third party supplies cash, goods and services (or any of them), he will pay the third party for them (whether or not deducting any discount or commission), in return for payment to him by the individual.
