If the company disputes any invoice or part of any invoice issued by the supplier to the company or receives an invoice in respect of any goods which the company believes (acting reasonably) have not been properly provided then:
• The company will pay that part of the invoice which is not the disputed sum in accordance with the payment terms;
• The company will be entitled to withhold payment of the disputed sum;
• The parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute, but if a resolution cannot be reached within ninety (90) days of the start of such negotiations, the matter will be determined by the Courts;
• The supplier will provide all such information and evidence as may be reasonably necessary to verify the disputed sum; and
• following resolution of the dispute, the company will pay to the Supplier that part of the disputed sum (if any) as it is resolved is payable by the company
