METHOD OF NEGOTIATION Clause Samples
The "Method of Negotiation" clause defines the procedures and steps that parties must follow to resolve disputes or disagreements arising under the contract. Typically, this clause requires the parties to first attempt to resolve issues through direct discussions or meetings between designated representatives before pursuing formal dispute resolution methods such as mediation, arbitration, or litigation. By establishing a clear, structured process for negotiation, this clause encourages amicable resolution of conflicts, minimizes escalation, and can help avoid costly and time-consuming legal proceedings.
