Neither party may bring a claim more than two years after the underlying cause of action first accrues. 15.2 Each party agrees to give the other prompt written notice of any claim, controversy, or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, and both parties agree to engage in good faith discussions to resolve the matter.
