Transmitting business by EDI

• Where we request, you will retransmit messages to us on request.
• If the recipient has reason to believe any message is not intended for him/her, the recipient should notify the sender and delete from the system the information contained in the message but not the record of its receipt.
• All EDI messages should be complete, accurate and secure against being altered during transmission.
• You will also ensure that appropriate information is contained in the message to clearly identify the sender and recipient
• In order to verify messages sent and received, you must maintain a transaction log including details, without any modifications, of all messages sent and received by you. We will not accept liability for any risk where you or your system cannot produce such verification.
