- Will not change practice on the length of payment for smaller companies on unreasonable grounds.
- Will provide suppliers with clear and easily accessible guidance on payment procedures.
- Provides a method for dealing with complaints and disputes in relation to payment processing, and a method for escalation of the before-mentioned complaint.
- Will endeavour to advise if there is a reason an invoice may not be settled within the agreed terms.
- Endeavours to comply with all applicable law and regulation, in relation to supplier payments.
- Provides a method of electronic invoicing, either by fax or email transmission or by use of an invoicing portal.
