Standard payment terms

Sony Interactive Entertainment Network Europe Limited’s (SIENE) standard terms include the Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe Purchase Order Terms and Conditions of Purchase (“Terms”) used for purchasing goods and services. Payment terms are typically 30 days from receipt of invoice. To view the Sony Interactive Entertainment Network Terms please refer to https://www.playstation.com/po-terms-and-conditions/ or request a copy by emailing Accounts_Payable_uk@scee.net. The data provided by SIENE includes Sony intra-company payments which are generally on longer than 30 day payment terms. SIENE has limitations within its billing and accounts system which do not allow the contract type to be recorded. This means that the system is unable to distinguish between qualifying and non-qualifying contracts and as such some of our data may include non-qualifying contracts.
