Supplier Portal Policy
As a not-for-profit technology standards organization, Bluetooth maintains a small administrative staff whose focus is necessarily limited to areas where efficiency is highest. As a result, our policy is - Bluetooth does not engage, use, or transact via membership company supplier portals, simply because the administrative burden and costs are too high for our small organization. It is also the reason for the strict Bluetooth policy of payment-in-advance for all fees. We do not offer payment terms to our member companies on any type of fees.
