Purpose of Consultation Procedure The purpose of the consultation procedure is to endeavor to resolve any failure to meet the provisions of the Service Level Agreement. If a consultation occurs under this Section V, all parties must negotiate in good faith to endeavor to: 1. implement changes which will enable the Service Level Agreement provisions to be met – such changes may include, but are not limited to, modification of either or both parties’ respective operational resources; 2. agree to alternative Service Level Agreement provisions which meet the parties’ respective business requirements; or 3. otherwise find a solution such that within a reasonable time after the consultation, the inability to meet the Service Level Agreement provision(s) is reasonably expected to be less likely to occur in the future.
Consultation Procedure If a party hereto is unable to meet the provisions of the Service Level Agreement, or in the event that a dispute arises relating to performance goals set forth in the Service Level Agreement, either party to this Agreement shall address any concerns it may have by requiring a consultation with the other party.
