Dispute resolution process

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions UK Limited (TSSUK) consists of five separate sites operating within the UK. The dispute resolution process can vary from site to site, but generally follows the procedure below: If a dispute arises in relation to an invoice, TSSUK will seek to resolve the dispute within the Standard Payment Period. If this is not possible then the following process will be observed: • the supplier will be notified in writing (by email or otherwise), prior to expiry of the Standard Payment Period, that the payment will not be fulfilled within the Standard Payment Period; • the supplier will be provided with an explanation of the reason for the delay and a contact at TSSUK who is responsible for resolving the dispute; and • TSSUK will use reasonable endeavours to seek to resolve the dispute and make the payment as soon as a resolution has been achieved. If a supplier wishes to make a complaint regarding TSSUK's supplier payment policy and procedures or a payment dispute, the supplier should submit the complaint in writing to the Financial Controller at the relevant TSSUK site in the first instance. TSSUK will provide a written response to the complaint within 10 working days of receipt. If the supplier does not find TSSUK’s initial response to the complaint satisfactory then the supplier may send further correspondence to the site General Manager at TSSUK.
