BINDING ELECTION OF PROCEDURE Sample Clauses
The Binding Election of Procedure clause establishes that once a party selects a specific method or process for resolving a dispute or addressing an issue under the contract, that choice is final and cannot be changed. In practice, this might mean that if a party chooses arbitration over litigation, they are required to proceed with arbitration and cannot later opt for court proceedings. This clause ensures certainty and efficiency by preventing parties from switching between procedures, thereby reducing delays and potential manipulation of the dispute resolution process.
