Common use of DISPUTES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION Clause in Contracts

DISPUTES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Motorola and Customer will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement through consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation. If those attempts fail, then, except for disputes related to alleged patent, copyright, or trademark infringement, the dispute will be mediated by a mutually acceptable mediator to be chosen by Motorola and Customer within thirty (30) days after written notice by the other demanding mediation. Neither party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a mediator, and Motorola and Customer will share the costs of the mediation equally. Venue for mediation shall be in a location within the United States that is mutually convenient and acceptable to the parties. By mutual agreement, however, the parties may postpone mediation until they have each completed some specified but limited discovery about the dispute. The parties may also agree to replace mediation with some other form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as neutral fact-finding or a mini-trial. Any dispute which the parties cannot resolve through negotiation, mediation, or other form of ADR within four (4) months of the date of the initial demand for it may then be submitted to the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware for resolution. The use of any ADR procedures will not be construed under the doctrines of latches, waiver, or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either party. And nothing in this section will prevent either party from resorting to judicial proceedings if (a) good faith efforts to resolve the dispute under these procedures have been unsuccessful or (b) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one party or to others.
