The Group has in place a process for resolving disputes relating to payment. In the event of a dispute, the Accounts Payable Team would notify the supplier either verbally or in writing of the existence and nature of the dispute and seek to agree a credit note or alternative resolution so that a payment can be made. Credit claims are raised with agreement from the Supplier. Resolution time would be expected to be within 7 to 14 days depending on the nature of the dispute so supplier payment terms could still be met. The Accounts Payable email is invoices@vets4pets.com for invoice submission and invoicequeries@vets4pets.com for queries or statement submission.
