Common use of MANAGEMENT OF DISPUTES Clause in Contracts

MANAGEMENT OF DISPUTES. A. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAMS DISTRIBUTOR and DEALER acknowledge that disputes involving the performance of this Agreement may from time to time arise that cannot be resolved at the DISTRIBUTOR level. In order to minimize the effects of such disputes on their business relationship, the parties agree to participate in such Alternative Dispute Resolution programs, including mediation, as may be established by DISTRIBUTOR in its sole discretion. It is expressly understood that, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the results of any Alternative Dispute Resolution program will not be binding upon DEALER, but shall be binding upon DISTRIBUTOR. The parties' commitment to support and participate in Alternative Dispute Resolution programs specifically is not a waiver of DEALER's right to later resort to litigation before any judicial or administrative forum.
