Maximum contractual payment period agreed

90

Dispute Resolution Process

Where non-payment is caused by invoicing inaccuracy due to incorrect pricing/quantities or the quality of goods or services provided, the person responsible for the purchase will dispute the invoice by placing it on hold. Invoices that are subject to a dispute will not be paid until the issue is resolved. Suppliers are informed of held items in every remittance advice which is sent out. Once resolved, payment will be made in accordance with the terms of the contract, unless the invoice is overdue where it will be paid in the next available payment run.

Other Payment Information

Has this business signed up to a code of conduct or standards on payment practices?

For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.

Does this business offer e-invoicing in relation to qualifying contracts?
