WP_Query tax_query multiple taxonomies and terms

I'm having a bit of trouble returning posts with multiple taxonomies and terms. Hoping someone with far more knowledge than myself can help me understand.

I'm using a select menu to populate the select options with taxonomy information of a page (in this case, the Products page). All is good with a single taxonomy and term in the tax_query but as soon as I try to use an array to pass multiples, i'm no longer returning anything. This seems simple enough but I'm missing something. Any ideas?

Here is what I'm working with:

$producttype = $_GET['ProductType'];
$businessunit = $_GET['BusinessUnit'];
$products = new WP_Query( array( 
  'post_type' => 'products',
  'posts_per_page' => 15,
  'orderby' => 'title',
  'order'   => 'ASC',
  'paged' => $paged,
  'tax_query' => array(
    'relation' => 'OR',
     array(
       'taxonomy' => 'producttype',
       'field' => 'name',
       'term' => $producttype
     ),
     array(
       'taxonomy' => 'businessunit',
       'field' => 'name',
       'term' => $businessunit
     )
  )
)

You error is a key array tax_query => term should be terms

$producttype = $_GET['ProductType'];
$businessunit = $_GET['BusinessUnit'];
$products = new WP_Query( array( 
  'post_type' => 'products',
  'posts_per_page' => 15,
  'orderby' => 'title',
  'order'   => 'ASC',
  'paged' => $paged,
  'tax_query' => array(
    'relation' => 'OR',
     array(
       'taxonomy' => 'producttype',
       'field' => 'name',
       'terms' => $producttype
     ),
     array(
       'taxonomy' => 'businessunit',
       'field' => 'name',
       'terms' => $businessunit
     )
  )
