Dispute resolution process

We will attempt to resolve in the first instance with negotiations between the authorised representatives of each of the parties. Both parties should continue to perform their relevant obligations, whilst working together to resolve the dispute. The authorised representative will be the supplier’s main contact with us for these purchases (typically the person who ordered the goods or services and who has been named on the invoice).
