Step I: Informal Stage Clause Samples

Typically, this stage requires the concerned party to raise the issue directly with the other party or a designated representative, often through a meeting or informal discussion, before any formal procedures are initiated. This approach encourages early resolution of conflicts, promotes open communication, and can help prevent escalation by resolving issues quickly and efficiently at the lowest possible level.
