Dispute resolution process

We have a dedicated team who pay and deal with suppliers, so most know who to contact directly for any disputes. In addition we also have a generic email for account queries. All queries/items are dealt with daily and any disputes which account teams are not able to resolve between themselves are escalated to the relevant buyer and sales rep to resolve.
