Process for Resolving Disputes Clause Samples
The "Process for Resolving Disputes" clause establishes the procedures that parties must follow when disagreements arise under the agreement. Typically, it outlines steps such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration before litigation can be pursued, and may specify timelines, forums, or required notices. By providing a clear roadmap for addressing conflicts, this clause helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that disputes are managed efficiently and fairly, reducing the risk of costly or protracted legal battles.
Process for Resolving Disputes. Any dispute which arises under or with respect to this Agreement will be subject to informal negotiations between the parties to the Agreement. The period of informal negotiations will not exceed 20 calendar days from the time the dispute is first documented, unless that period is extended by a written agreement of the parties to the dispute. The dispute will be considered documented when one party sends a written Notice of Dispute to the other parties. If the parties cannot resolve a dispute through informal negotiations, the parties may invoke non-binding mediation by describing the dispute with a proposal for resolution in a letter to the Regional Administrator for USEPA Region 3, with a copy to all parties.

He or she will then issue a written opinion that will be non-binding and does not constitute a final WM action.
