Suppliers to Chorus

From 1 December there are changes we need you to make when you invoice us:

1. You will need to create a separate account for Chorus New Zealand Limited (Chorus) in your system.
   
   Information that might be useful to create this account is:

   Name of business:  Chorus New Zealand Limited
   Key Contact Person:  Mark Larsen
   Business Phone Number:  0800 600 100
   Physical Address:  L8, Datacom House, 68-86 Jervois Quay, Wellington
   GST Number: 107-341-919
   Trading Bank: Westpac, Wellington branch
   Accountant:  Chorus Chief Financial Officer
   Solicitor:   Chorus General Counsel

2. Your invoices will need to be addressed to Chorus correctly to meet our IRD requirements. Chorus won’t be able to pay incorrectly addressed invoices, and they will be returned to you.
   
   Please address your invoices to Chorus as:

   Chorus New Zealand Limited
   Chorus Accounts Payable
   C/- Telecom Account Payable
   P O Box 1800
   Wellington 

   You can also email correctly addressed invoices to: invoices@telecom.co.nz
   
   Note: the Telecom “Accounts Payable” team are providing accounts payable services to Chorus in the interim.

3. Where Chorus raises a new Purchase Order for supply of Products to Chorus, the Purchase Order will be on Chorus’ Supplier Terms of Purchase unless the Products are supplied under a separate signed agreement between Chorus (or another Chorus company) and the Supplier.  Chorus (or the relevant Chorus companies) are only bound by the Supplier’s terms in respect of any Products if such Chorus company has accepted in writing that those terms apply to the Products described in the applicable Purchase Order. (Note the capitalised terms have the meanings in Chorus’ Purchase Orders and the Chorus’ Supplier Terms of Purchase).   Chorus’ Supplier Terms of Purchase can be viewed here

4. If you are a supplier to Chorus before and after 1 December 2011:
   
   a. If before 1 December 2011, Telecom New Zealand Limited (Telecom) provided the Supplier with a Purchase Order which remains open but the Supplier has not provided Telecom with any products for Chorus under the Purchase Order, the applicable Purchase Order will be changed to a Chorus Purchase Order. The Purchase Order number will not change. The Chorus Supplier Terms of Purchase will apply to supply of products by the Supplier from 1 December 2011 as set out in 3 above.
   
   b. If before 1 December 2011, Telecom provided the Supplier with a Purchase Order which remains open and the Supplier has supplied products to Telecom for Chorus. Chorus (or Telecom Group Procurement acting as agent for Chorus) will send the Supplier a new Purchase Order as per 3 above, for any lines on that Purchase Order which remain open for the supply of goods after 1 December.

5.  If you are unsure whether you should be invoicing Telecom New Zealand Limited or Chorus New Zealand Limited, please check the printed copy of the purchase order you have been sent which will advise which company you need to be invoicing or if you have any questions regarding invoices, please call accounts payable on 0800 727 435 or email: asksharedservices@telecom.co.nz
