Resolution of a Difference Clause Samples
The 'Resolution of a Difference' clause establishes a process for addressing and settling disputes or disagreements that arise between parties under a contract. Typically, this clause outlines the steps the parties must follow, such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, before resorting to litigation. For example, it may require both sides to attempt to resolve the issue through direct discussion or involve a neutral third party if initial efforts fail. The core function of this clause is to provide a structured and efficient method for resolving conflicts, thereby minimizing disruption and reducing the likelihood of costly legal proceedings.
