In the event of a dispute, the supplier would contact our AP department or their lead contact in our business. We would determine if a late payment was a result of administrative error, or dispute over the services. Where the late payment was administrative, we would request immediate payment from the AP team. Where there was a clear dispute over performance of the contract, we would agree a remediation/correction plan with our supplier. In the unlikely event that no agreement is reached with the supplier, we would involve our internal and external legal consultants over any expected litigation action.
