Initial Dispute Resolution Process Sample Clauses

The Initial Dispute Resolution Process clause establishes a required procedure for parties to follow when a disagreement arises under the contract. Typically, it mandates that parties first attempt to resolve disputes through informal negotiations or meetings before escalating the matter to formal proceedings such as arbitration or litigation. This process often includes specific timelines and steps, such as written notice of the dispute and a period for good-faith discussions. Its core function is to encourage early, amicable resolution of conflicts, thereby saving time and costs associated with more formal dispute mechanisms.
Initial Dispute Resolution Process. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of an unresolved matter, dispute, or issue which relates to the breach or alleged breach or interpretation of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) or which this Agreement expressly provides shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 18.5 (each, a “Selected Dispute”), the Parties shall refer the Dispute or Selected Dispute to the Alliance Managers for discussion and resolution. If the Alliance Managers are unable to resolve such Dispute or Selected Dispute within [***] days of the Dispute or Selected Dispute being referred to them by either Party in writing, either Party may require that the Parties forward the matter to the Senior Officers (or designees with similar authority to resolve such dispute), who shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute or Selected Dispute. If the Senior Officers cannot resolve such Dispute or Selected Dispute within [***] days of the matter being referred to them in writing, then the Dispute or Selected Dispute shall be resolved as provided in Sections 18.5(b), 18.5(c), or 18.5(e) as applicable.
