INFORMAL REVIEW AND RESOLUTION Sample Clauses

The "Informal Review and Resolution" clause establishes a process for parties to address and attempt to resolve disputes or disagreements through informal discussions before pursuing formal legal action. Typically, this involves requiring the parties to notify each other of the issue and engage in good faith negotiations or meetings to seek a mutually acceptable solution. By encouraging direct communication and early problem-solving, this clause aims to resolve conflicts efficiently, reduce litigation costs, and preserve business relationships.
