Any payment disputes that are unable to be resolved by a suppliers main contact at Oxford Nanopore Technologies or the accounts payable team, should be directed to the procurement team (procurement@nanoporetech.com). The procurement team will liaise with legal, finance and responsible departments within Oxford Nanopore Technologies and include the supplier within these discussions as appropriate. The procurement team will look to respond to all queries within 1 week of receiving a dispute. Final resolution will depend on the complexity of the issue raised."
