Informal Level I Sample Clauses

The 'Informal Level I' clause establishes an initial, non-formal process for resolving disputes or addressing concerns between parties. Typically, this clause requires the parties to communicate directly and attempt to resolve issues through informal discussions before escalating the matter to formal dispute resolution procedures such as mediation or arbitration. By encouraging early and open communication, the clause aims to resolve problems efficiently and amicably, potentially saving time and costs associated with more formal proceedings.
