Maximum contractual payment information
To assist JCDecaux in abiding to its standard payment terms all invoices must be emailed to uk-accounts.payable@jcdecaux.com or alternatively directly to our new integrated invoice processing software uk.ap-gb01@jcdecaux.com . The Company encourages invoices to be sent in pdf format, emailed as per above, but hardcopy invoices received by post will also still be accepted.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days from invoice date and Company is in receipt of a correct, undisputed and VAT invoice quoting, if applicable and as required, a valid JCDecaux Purchase Order number.
- Other payment-term information
We have a small number of suppliers whose agreed payment period is 60 days, and one of those suppliers’ invoices constitute a high volume which makes up a high proportion of the total number of our invoices.
- Dispute resolution process
Orders placed with Suppliers are formalised by issuing a Purchase Order (PO) and invoices not quoting a valid JCDecaux PO number will be returned to the Supplier accompanied with relevant explanation.
Disputes are resolved between the relevant JCDecaux internal ‘buyer’ and the Supplier, keeping Accounts Payable advised of reason for dispute or query. The Company strives to resolve all disputes in a fair and timely manner. Upon resolution and after any PO amendments or credit note receipt payment will be processed where necessary.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.
TM UK trade marks
Exact owner-name matches
This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.

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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
