Dispute Resolution Process

In general we pay within the terms of the invoice. If however, there is a delay, it is ususally because there is a query with the inovice or late presentation of invoice by supplier or approriate manager. If there is a query on an individual invoice or a dispute, our employee/contact would deal directly with the supplier in order to resolve same in advance of the invoice being approved for payment and forwarded to our accounts payable department. Any queries are generally resolved quickly and without complaint. Once the query/dispute is resolved, we pay on a prompt basis.
