## Dispute Resolution

Xaar is committed to building and maintaining strong relationships with our suppliers and seeks to resolve invoice queries/disputes with suppliers as quickly as possible. 
The majority of Xaar’s supplier relationships are covered by our standard terms and conditions. The dispute resolution process in these cases will be as stated below.
Most invoices are issued against a Xaar purchase order. Queries for these invoices are passed by Accounts Payable to the Purchasing department, which is responsible for raising Purchase Orders with suppliers, for investigation and resolution. 
For any non-purchase order invoices, Accounts Payable will either raise queries with suppliers directly or will work in collaboration with the internal invoice owner in order to resolve with the supplier.
Where there is a specific agreement in place with a supplier, a specified dispute resolution clause will be included in the agreement. The exact wording of the clause will vary but the process is likely to be that Xaar and the supplier will attempt to settle the dispute themselves; if no resolution is found then it will be taken to an independent body to resolve; and then to Court if the dispute cannot be resolved.
