Reported terms and dispute process
  1. Standard payment terms

    Standard payment terms are 60 days from the date of invoice. Notwithstanding the standard payment terms described above, the company may agree different payment terms with individual suppliers on a case-by-case basis and as appropriate. Shorter payment terms than the standard have been agreed with respect to various contracts within the reporting period.

  2. 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. The EMEA accounts payable manager: Przemyslaw Smigielski - przemyslaw.smigielski@wbd.com

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

Snapshot 25 August 2026
CCEW

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.

i

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

Snapshot 25 August 2026
CCNI

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.

i

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

Report 28 August 2026
UKSL

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

Snapshot 22 August 2026
