Standard payment terms
Except as outlined below, standard (acceptable) payment terms with third party suppliers are 30 days. The Company shall make payment upon 30 days of receipt of a correct and complete invoice. If mandatory information specified by our supplier invoicing guides is omitted from the invoice, the invoice will be rejected, and the supplier will be required to re-submit a correct invoice for processing (which will not begin until all the information has been provided). Standard payment terms with third party suppliers that the Company contracts with using KDN standard purchase order terms or standard contracting templates are 60 days. Standard purchase order terms are used by exception for smaller transactions if (i) the Supplier does not use standard agreements and the transaction itself does not warrant the use of a KDN template (ii) PO terms are used as an interim step to an agreement and are used in order meet an aggressive timeline. With respect to services that KPMG member firms provide to the Company, our standard payment terms require member firms to submit invoices to the Company and such invoices are payable 30 days after invoice receipt.
