Classification Dispute Resolution Process Clause Samples

The Classification Dispute Resolution Process clause establishes a formal procedure for resolving disagreements regarding the categorization or classification of items, services, or obligations under a contract. Typically, this process outlines steps such as initial negotiation between the parties, escalation to higher management, and, if necessary, referral to an independent expert or arbitrator for a binding decision. By providing a clear and structured method for handling classification disputes, this clause helps prevent prolonged conflicts and ensures that disagreements are resolved efficiently and fairly, thereby minimizing disruption to the contractual relationship.
