Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
The Charity’s terms and conditions are published on its website www.chesterzoo.org. They state that it pays suppliers on a net monthly basis. This means suppliers are paid on or before the last working day of the month following the date of a correctly rendered invoice. Suppliers will therefore be paid between a minimum of 28 days and a maximum of 62 days from the date of their invoice. The Charity does not have standard payment terms expressed in a number of days.

However, if the dispute is unresolved, the Charity reserves the right to appoint legal representation and if necessary to terminate the contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the supplier.
