Procedural Conflict Clause Samples

The Procedural Conflict clause defines how disputes or inconsistencies between different procedures or processes within an agreement are to be resolved. Typically, this clause establishes a hierarchy or priority among conflicting procedures, specifying which process takes precedence or how parties should proceed if a conflict arises. For example, if two sections of a contract prescribe different methods for handling a dispute, the clause will clarify which method governs. Its core function is to ensure clarity and prevent confusion by providing a clear mechanism for resolving procedural inconsistencies, thereby reducing the risk of disputes escalating due to ambiguous or conflicting instructions.
Procedural Conflict. If there is a conflict between the Act, the regulations published at 7 CFR Chapter IV, and this handbook, the order of priority is as follows [with (1) controlling (2) and (2) controlling (3)]: (1) the Act; (2) the regulations in 7 CFR Chapter IV; and (3) WAH. This handbook will control those procedures related to WAs in the FCIC 18010 CIH and FCIC 18190 GSH. With respect to other procedures not related to WAs, the CIH or GSH will control, as appropriate.
