Common use of GENERAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION Clause in Contracts

GENERAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION. 22.1. The Parties recognize and agree that the Commission has continuing jurisdiction to implement and enforce all terms and conditions of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement that the Parties themselves cannot resolve may be submitted to the Commission for resolution. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute as provided herein, the Parties agree to seek expedited resolution by the Commission, and shall request that resolution occur in no event later than sixty (60) days from the date of submission of such dispute. If the Commission appoints an expert(s) or other facilitator(s) to assist in its decision-making, each party shall pay half of the fees and expenses so incurred. The Commission may direct payment of any or all charges, plus applicable interest fees, to be paid to either Party. During the Commission proceeding each Party shall continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to act in any unlawful fashion. This provision shall not preclude the Parties from seeking relief available in any other forum. 22.2. If any matter, other than a billing dispute, is subject to a bona fide dispute between the Parties, the disputing Party shall, within thirty (30) days after the party would have reasonably discovered the event giving rise to the dispute, give written notice to the other Party of the dispute and include in such notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item. 22.2.1. If the Parties are unable to resolve the issues related to the dispute in the normal course of business within forty-five (45) days after delivery of notice of the Dispute to the other Party, the dispute shall be escalated to a designated representative who has authority to settle the dispute and who is at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. The designated representatives shall meet as often as they reasonably deem necessary in order to discuss the dispute and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve such dispute. The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives, provided, however, that all reasonable requests for relevant information made by one Party to the other Party shall be honored. 22.2.2. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within forty-five
