Dispute resolution process

We will only dispute invoices if there is a quality or delivery issue or if theree is a price difference between order and invoice. The dispute will be dealt with through our purchase invoice approval system, if the dispute isn't resolved through the approval system or through communication with the supplier by means of credit note or proof of delivery, we will attempt to agree with the supplier as to how best resolve the dispute. If our supplier feels the need to seek court action to force payment, we will defend our position as appropriate on a casa by case basis.
