Informal Level One Clause Samples
The 'Informal Level One' clause establishes an initial, non-formal process for resolving disputes or issues between parties. Typically, this clause requires the parties to first attempt to resolve disagreements through direct communication or informal negotiation before escalating the matter to formal dispute resolution methods such as mediation, arbitration, or litigation. By mandating an informal first step, the clause aims to encourage efficient, cost-effective resolution and preserve business relationships by addressing problems early and collaboratively.
