Dispute resolution process

Invoice disputes should be referred, in the first instance, to the individual in the company who was responsible for procuring the goods or services in question. If this cannot be resolved, typically the parties are obliged to escalate the dispute to senior representatives of the parties who shall use their reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute in good faith. Once resolved the invoice will go on the payment run in accordance with payment terms. If resolved after payment due date the invoice will go on the next payment run.
