- Dispute resolution process
Dispute resolution process Escalation process for disputed invoices Turner Broadcasting System Europe Limited Primary Requirements: Turner Broadcasting System Europe Limited (“TBSEL”) operates a purchase order policy. TBSEL reserves the right to reject invoices directly back to suppliers if, where applicable, they are not accompanied by a valid PO number. Where a PO has been issued by TBSEL, accompanying invoices should not exceed the value of the PO. Internal stakeholders raise requests for new suppliers via Procurement. Applications are filtered to determine whether existing alternatives exist, or whether tendering / benchmarking is required. A New Supplier Pack is sent to the potential provider, complete with standard MSA, banking request details, a COI and GDPR form. Suppliers are then loaded into PeopleSoft to enable POs to be raised. Where to send your invoices to: All invoices should be sent by e-mail to Turner Broadcasting System Europe accounts payable team. Our e-mail address is ap.london@wbd.com For regional specific invoices please refer to the e-mail address on your purchase order. Who to Contact: For regional specific invoices please e-mail all enquiries to the contact details on your purchase order. Our standard payment terms: Our standard supplier payment terms are 60 days from date of invoice. For payment and invoice enquiries please call the accounts payable helpdesk. The helpdesk will be able to advise on all payment or invoice enquiries. Our escalation process: Any invoices that TBSEL dispute will be returned by your business point of contact with a full explanation of the dispute. This is the person who you are working with to supply goods and services to TBSEL. Any invoice or payment enquiries/disputes which are not fully resolved to your satisfaction, can, in turn, be escalated to: 1. Your business point of contact. This is the member of Turner Broadcasting that you are working with to provide the goods and services to our business. 2. The accounts payable team. The accounts payable team will escalate any invoice or payment dispute accordingly to the relevant point of contact. Contact the team at ap.london@wbd.com 3.

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.
12 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.
13 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.
