Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
"Payment: Payment terms are net 45 days unless otherwise agreed between Starbucks and Seller.
Payment date is when payment is mailed or otherwise tendered. Acceptance of payment by Seller constitutes a release of Starbucks from liability related to the invoiced Goods. Starbucks may offset refunds or reductions from one Order with Seller against obligations under other Orders. Seller agrees to refund any overpayments immediately upon discovery. The Seller will issue VAT invoices in respect of the sums payable by Starbucks prior to the relevant payment date. Unless otherwise stated in the Order the price of the Goods and payment shall be in Euro. If the Order stipulates a different currency, payment will be in Euro, applying the spot exchange rate quoted by HSBC Bank plc at 5pm on the business day preceding the due date for payment" - Dispute resolution process
"Starbucks typically seeks to work closely with its suppliers to reach a cordial settlement of any disputes, in the spirit of long-term partnership
Infringement: Starbucks reserves the right to return any Goods and terminate the Agreement for default where a claim is made that Starbucks’ sale or use of the Goods infringes any alleged patent, design, trade name, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right of a third party. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Starbucks and Customers against any and all liability, loss or expense, including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, by reason of any design, patent, trade name, trademark, copyright or unfair competition claim now existing or hereafter asserted with respect to any Goods
Non-Compliance: Starbucks is not obligated to pay for or accept excess quantities, materially untimely or under-shipments in whole or in part, and such shipments may be returned at Seller’s expense and risk. If Starbucks elects to accept any delivery that does not conform to the schedule or quantity terms of the Agreement, a handling charge may be charged to Seller’s account.

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.

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.
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.
