In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard contractual length of time for payment of invoices is Net 60, per our Purchase Orders. Our Sourcing team, however, when they negotiate contracts, try to obtain a 2% discount if we pay within Net 10 days.
Dispute resolution
In summary, per our purchase order terms, any disputes which arise between the supplier and the buyer will run through and be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association except where those rules conflict with this provision controls.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
