We are happy to negotiate terms with suppliers and accept standard terms of supply from suppliers subject to the following provisions.
The supplier must make payment terms clear at the time of initial ordering/negotiation, and also clearly state if terms have changed for any reason. We are happy to agree supplier payment terms subject to:-
Obviously we aim to never pay late, but mistakes can happen. We agree late payment penalties and interest shall be due for any payment we make that is late, as defined in the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (interest) Act 1998, considering the above terms, subject to:
It seems impossible that anyone could send any invoice that does not add up, but we have encountered suppliers that managed to send such invoices. As such the following terms apply in any case where an invoice does not add up, by which we mean any simple arithmetic in the invoice is incorrect or that VAT is miscalculated by more than 10p on the total invoice. (We have had major suppliers send invoices not adding up by tens of thousands of pounds, which is why we have this clause).
All equipment supplied to us that does any IP at all, whether for resell or for our own use, must work with IPv6.
We do offer some dealers commission. This is offered on the basis of a non contractual agreement. We calculate the amount each month based on paid amounts from customers who have been introduced to us by dealers, and send a purchase order (E&OE). Please email if you need more information. But also do bear in mind the non contractual nature of this arrangement - we cannot enforce a dealer promoting our services or managing customers, and a dealer cannot enforce us paying any commission. This is a gentleman's agreement, bound by honour only, both ways.
Obviously we receive deliveries of parcels, etc, all the time, and handle these. However, on occasion, we have unexpected additional work to handle a payment demand by a courier with which we have no contract. This means handling the invoice, or payment demand, on our accounts system for which there is no purchase order nor existing contract, and also handling making the payment and accounting for it. Where this happens we may charge the courier a £20 admin / disbursement fee. Obviously if the demand includes any fees for which we have not agreed nor negotiated a contract and rate, and are not otherwise legally required to pay, those will also not be paid. For VAT, Postponed VAT Accounting should be applied, and for duty, our HMRC Deferred Duty Account should be used, leaving no amount due, so we do not expect any legally required fees on any import or any associated non-agreed admin or disbursement fees to be payable via any courier. Any courier incapable of handing this will be liable to the above mentioned admin fee.
