Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The business’ standard payment terms are 30 days unless agreement has been made with the vendor/individual where at a very minimum payment terms are to be 14 days. Suppliers are notified and consulted on these payment terms at the time of making business and a contract is signed upon agreement.
Under no circumstances should any side favourable agreements be made beyond these payment terms unless exceptionally necessary. - Dispute resolution process
In the first instance, all disputed payments regardless of the circumstance is brought to the attention of the supplier and requester at Uswitch. This is usually done by email, detailing the reason behind the dispute, amount, and contact details for Accounts.
Suppliers are made aware of the hold on payment as soon as the accounts payable team have been made aware of the dispute. Depending on the complexity of the dispute, the solution can vary to a number of days, but suppliers are kept to date at all times.
If the dispute is in relation to the address and contact details, Accounts will notify supplier of the correct addressee and details via email stating payment will be made once amended invoice has been received.
Under no circumstances will an invoice be settled with payment if the dispute has not been resolved.

Other monitoring
Due diligence questionnaires are sent to suppliers to confirm no modern slavery practices. The Director of ESG closely monitors operations and supply chains, and compliance with the laws.
Demonstrated progress
Due to the nature of our businesses, our supply chains are limited and we operate with only a small number of suppliers. Nevertheless, we select some of our key suppliers based on ethical certifications (some of which impose obligations on suppliers to eliminate modern slavery). These suppliers must provide evidence of their ethical certification before we conclude contracts with them.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Reviewing any investigations into reports of modern slavery (including under the“Speak Up” policy). For FY24, no substantiated reports were received.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Migrants Refugees
- Location: North Korea
- Mitigation: No reports received, but if and when they are, we will investigate. Renewed our whistleblowing service contract. Note: pinpointing a single country is too reductive. We have selected 3 of the highest risk countries regarding modern slavery practices.
- Risk: Reviewing our centralised supplier due diligence for effectiveness across our top suppliers;
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
- Location: Congo (Democratic Republic)
- Mitigation: Keeping supplier DD under review. Note: pinpointing a single country is too reductive. We have selected 3 of the highest risk countries regarding modern slavery practices.
- Risk: Reviewing staff training levels on modern slavery risks for key team members.
- Area: Within your own operations
- Group: Other vulnerable groups
- Location: Sudan
- Mitigation: Keep under review current training levels and assess whether additional training is required. Note: pinpointing a single country is too reductive. We have selected 3 of the highest risk countries regarding modern slavery practices.
A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

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.

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.
