POTENTIAL DISPUTES Clause Samples
The "Potential Disputes" clause defines the procedures and expectations for addressing disagreements that may arise between the parties during the course of their agreement. Typically, this clause outlines steps such as notification of the dispute, negotiation periods, or requirements for mediation or arbitration before resorting to litigation. By establishing a clear process for managing conflicts, the clause helps prevent misunderstandings from escalating and provides a structured path to resolution, thereby minimizing disruption and legal costs.
POTENTIAL DISPUTES. The Parties acknowledge that any dispute concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement that cannot be reasonably resolved between them can be submitted to voluntary mediation proceedings conducted in accordance with the rules of the local REALTOR® Association. Mediation fees and costs, if any, shall be divided equally among the Parties involved.
