The store explains that if you take advantage of the promotion, you will not have to pay for the TV today and that the $2825 will not be due until 6 months later, However, you will need to pay an "administration fee of $70 up front (paid at the time you buy the TV). You decide to take advantage of the promotion and buy the TV on September 24, 2020. Thus the $2825 will be due on March 24, 2021.
