Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The prices shown in the order are fixed prices (inclusive of VAT). Unless otherwise agreed, they include all expenses in connection with the goods and services to be provided by the Supplier.
A single copy of the pertinent invoice is to be sent to Beiersdorf UK Ltd. (BDF) separately when the goods are delivered or within five (5) days of completion of the services stating BDF’s purchase order (PO) number and an exact list of the content and weight and all of the mandatory details required under applicable local tax regulations. Invoices with incorrect or missing details are generally not accepted and returned to the issuer for correction or amendment.
Unless otherwise agreed, BDF shall make payment of undisputed invoices within sixty (60) days of receipt of the invoice.
No payment made by BDF shall imply any acknowledgement that the delivery or performance is in accordance with the Contract. In the event of incorrect or incomplete delivery and/or performance, BDF shall - without prejudice to BDF’s other rights - be entitled to withhold a reasonable extent of payments towards claims arising out of the business relationship up until proper performance. Said rule shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of set-off.
The period allowed for payment shall on no account begin before the agreed delivery date.
The receivables arising out of the contracts concluded with BDF may be assigned only with BDF’s written consent. - Dispute resolution process
Any invoice query can be lodged with BDF Accounts Payable (AP) team, which is reachable by phone, email and post. If the AP team is unable to resolve the query, it will be escalated to an associated employee of the business to investigate why the invoice has not been approved for payment.

This is a company-submitted statutory disclosure, not a credit rating. BritDB preserves the reporting period and links the report only through the Companies House number supplied by the official service. Percentages describe payments made during that period and may change in later reports.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
08 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
09 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
10 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
11 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
