Response Meeting Clause Samples
A Response Meeting clause establishes the requirement for parties to convene and discuss issues, concerns, or disputes that arise during the course of an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the timeframe within which a meeting must be scheduled after a party raises a concern, and may specify who should attend and the format of the meeting, such as in-person or virtual. Its core practical function is to facilitate timely communication and collaborative problem-solving, helping to resolve issues efficiently before they escalate into formal disputes.
