Dispute resolution process

For standard contracts we will try to settle in the first instance with negotiations between the authorised representatives of each of the parties. During this time they should continue to perform their relevant obligations, whilst working together to resolve the dispute. Accounts payable contact information is provided on all emails and remittances sent from our accounts payable team. Invoices should be forwarded to apay@altro.com for processing. Where there is no formal contract in place, the above process will also apply. For this purpose the authorised representative will be the supplier's main contact with Altro Limited for these purchases (typically the person who ordered the goods or services and who has been named on the invoice).
