One of the purposes of this web site is to facilitate communication between Cherokee and our business partners, vendors, contractors, and others with whom we do business.

We offer a secure area of our web site for the exclusive use of each individual person or firm.

Payment Terms.

Cherokee pays properly submitted invoices as agreed. We generally issue checks twice a month from our Red Bank, New Jersey accounting office.

Unless otherwise agreed, in writing in advance, our standard payment terms are net 30 days.

Subcontractors, whether providing services or goods, are paid by their contractor, who is paid by Cherokee. We will intercede as appropriate to ensure that all subcontractors are paid promptly, and treated fairly, by their contractors. If one of our contractors does not exhibit the business ethics and financial stability that we expect of our business partners, we will promptly review that relationship.

Insurance Certificates

If you or your company provide services to Cherokee, we must receive a valid Certificate of Insurance before we can release payment. This requirement is clearly detailed in all our Purchase Orders and other acquisition and acquisition correspondence.

The specific requirements for each Certificate of Insurance are detailed in our Purchase Order. It is important that the correct Cherokee business entity the named, and that the other particulars be correct, such as the location of delivery, as well as the amounts. We will call your insurance broker to verify coverage. This is our standard procedure, and is not indicative of any mistrust on our part of any particular vendor or insurance carrier.

Subcontractors

Cherokee selects vendors based on their capacity to provide goods and services in a reliable and responsible manner, at a fair price. We allow our vendors flexibility to subcontract as they deem appropriate, as long as our vendor is fully accountable, and the deliverables are of consistently high quality. We do not require our vendors to subcontract work to any particular person or firm.

We require our vendors to treat their own subcontractors and employees in a professional and businesslike manner, in accordance with the same legal and ethical standards that we apply to our own business relationships. If you have information that one of Cherokee's vendors is not operating in accordance with these principles, we would appreciate your alerting us to this situation so that we can investigate and act accordingly. You can notify us, anonymously if you wish, by following the instructions on our Anonymous Tips page.
