Any other information about payment terms

To assist JCDecaux in abiding to its standard payment terms all invoices must be addressed and sent to Accounts Payable at the registered address in Brentford, Middlesex. Pdf invoices are also accepted if emailed to the Accounts Payables team at accounts.payable@jcdecaux.com

Dispute resolution process

Orders placed with Suppliers are formalised by issuing a Purchase Order (PO) and invoices not quoting a valid JCDecaux PO number will be returned to the Supplier accompanied with relevant explanation. Disputes are resolved between the relevant JCDecaux internal ‘buyer’ and the Supplier, keeping Accounts Payable advised of reason for dispute or query. The Company strives to resolve all disputes in a fair and timely manner. Upon resolution and after any PO amendments or credit note receipt payment will be processed where necessary.
