Any other information about payment terms

Everwarm is committed to fair dealing with all its supply chain members. Payment delays can occur in circumstances where agreement of payment from the end customer is delayed due to issues of rectification or validation of work performed by the supply chain. In those circumstances where we have delayed payments we pay our supply chain partners as soon as is reasonably practical thereafter.

Dispute resolution process

Everwarm actively seeks to resolve disputes by discussing them with the relevant suppliers or subcontractors, involving our accounts payable team as the first point of contact. The process may then involve commercial teams or senior management. Where it is not possible to reach agreement a number of dispute resolution methods such as mediation, adjudication, litigation and/or arbitration may be used.
