Informal Processes Sample Clauses

The 'Informal Processes' clause establishes a procedure for resolving disputes or issues between parties through informal discussions before resorting to formal legal action. Typically, this clause requires the parties to communicate and attempt to settle disagreements by negotiation or mediation, often within a specified timeframe, before escalating the matter to arbitration or litigation. Its core practical function is to encourage efficient, cost-effective resolution of conflicts and to preserve business relationships by providing an opportunity to resolve issues amicably without immediately involving courts or formal proceedings.
