Standard payment terms
JB Drax Honore (Drax), deals on third party suppliers terms rather than its own and therefore does
not have standard payment terms in place, nor does it require that particular sets of payment terms
are included on the third party supplier contracts depending on the supplier’s size. Drax does
however generally engage with third party suppliers on the following payment terms: 1) a payment
period of 30 days of receipt of the invoice 2) payment of interest at the rate specified by the supplier
in the relevant supplier agreement and 3) submission to the settlement discussions/ the English
courts (as provided for under the relevant supplier agreement) to determine any disputes if such
cannot be resolved between Drax and the relevant suppliers.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No

Dispute resolution process
JB Drax deals on third party supplier’s terms rather than its own. Invoices must be made out to the
correct company, entity and address. Invoices are sent via email to the Accounts Payable email
address, these are then logged and sent on to management for approval. Any invoice queries are
then raised and directed to the relevant manager and approver of the invoice. If required these are
then escalated to our COO and Directors of the company. Disputes are resolved as per the process
set out in the relevant supplier agreement. Any dispute would be governed by the law/jurisdiction
clause in the relevant supplier agreement which is generally the English law/English courts.
