Dispute Resolution Process

USS standard terms and conditions make provision for payment disputes. Invoices that are determined to be in dispute are flagged by the purchase ledger team and suppliers are informed of the nature of the dispute. Any element of the disputed invoice that is not included in the dispute is paid by USS within the agreed payment terms. USS reserves the right to set off any amount owing to it from the Supplier howsoever arising against any sums payable by USS to the Supplier, and to withhold any payments to the extent that Goods or Services have not been supplied to USS in accordance with the Contract until such goods and services have been received or until the matter is resolved via the Dispute Resolution Process outlined below. USS standard terms and conditions outline our standard process for then resolving any such dispute. The relevant clause is included below: “25. Dispute Resolution 25.1 A Dispute referred for determination under clause 25.1 shall be resolved as follows: (a) by referral in the first instance to the decision of the nominated contact of USS and the Supplier; (b) if a Dispute is not resolved within 14 days of its referral pursuant to clause 25.1(a), such Dispute shall be referred to senior personnel (as notified by each party to the other for this purpose) who shall have the power to resolve the Dispute; and 25.2 In the event that the Dispute is not resolved within 21 days of its referral under clause 25.1(b), then either party may commence court proceedings in accordance with clause 26.9. 25.3 Nothing in this clause 25 shall preclude a party from taking legal proceedings in the courts at any time: (a) to obtain an injunction (whether interim or final) to restrain the other party from doing any act or compelling the other party to do any act; or (b) to prevent a claim from becoming time-barred under any statute or rule of limitations.”
