Dispute Resolution Process

Should there be a complaint or dispute the account will be placed on hold whilst an investigation takes place by the finance department. The expectation would be that disputes would be resolved within thirty days but this would be adjusted dependent upon the particular circumstances of the dispute and the engagement of the supplier with the contractor.
