Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
You may invoice us for goods and/or services on or at any time after delivery or performance, unless otherwise stated in the Order. Each invoice must be a proper VAT invoice and:
1) quote the purchase number of the order, or the contract number;
2) show the period and the amount of the service for which payment is claimed;
3) show the charging rates and other details requested by us;
4) be accompanied by other information that we reasonable require;
5) be marked for the attention of the agreed Woodland Trust representative;
6) if the information fails to contain this information we will not be obliged to pay it.
Otherwise we will pay a valid correct invoice within 30 days of receipt.
If any sum under the contract is not paid when due, that sum will bear interest from the due date until payment is made in full, both before and after any judgement, at 2% per annum over the Bank of England base rate from time to time.
You agree that this is a substantial remedy for the purpose of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) act 1998. You will not be entitled to suspend deliveries or performance of the goods or services as a result of any sums being outstanding.
We will be entitled (but not obliged) at any time to set off any liability that you have to us against any liabilty that we have to you (in either case however arising).
We will also be entitled to exercise any of our other rights and remedies if we so choose. - Dispute resolution process
In the event of a dispute or complaint, Suppliers can contact the Accounts Payable Department by email or phone where a responsible officer will investigate, report and arrange for payment, where appropriate, as soon as possible.
Any dispute that cannot be resolved with the Accounts Payable Department may be referred to the Trust's Legal Department.

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.

Source details and official record →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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
