Standard payment terms

We do not have our standard terms on our website as our website is for our customers (we are a D2C business) and our supplier terms are with our commercial partners so it would not be appropriate to have them on our website. I attach a link to our standard terms at the bottom of this email. These are confidential to the business and I would not want them to be published on any public facing website.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No

Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?

N/A

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

90 days

The occassional supplier has asked for 60 days payment terms and we have one supplier on 90 days.

Any other information about payment terms

No further comment provided

Dispute resolution process

Initially our commercial team will try to resolve any payment dispsutes with suppliers and if necessary will escalate to the legal team.
