Forums for Alternative Dispute Resolution Sample Clauses

The "Forums for Alternative Dispute Resolution" clause designates specific venues or platforms where parties must resolve disputes through alternative methods such as mediation or arbitration, rather than through traditional court litigation. Typically, this clause will specify the location, institution, or set of rules that govern the dispute resolution process, such as requiring arbitration to be conducted under the rules of a particular arbitration body in a certain city. By clearly identifying the forum for resolving disagreements, this clause streamlines the dispute resolution process, reduces uncertainty, and can help parties avoid lengthy and costly court proceedings.
Forums for Alternative Dispute Resolution. (i) Arbitration. If the Parties cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 15(a) above within 60 days of receipt of the notice, then either Party may submit the Dispute to formal arbitration in accordance with this Section 15(b). If we cannot resolve an Excluded Dispute as set forth in Section 15(a) above within 60 days of receipt of the notice, then either Party may submit the Excluded Dispute to formal arbitration only if both Parties consent, in a writing signed by You and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs, to have that Excluded Dispute subject to arbitration.
