Procedures for Negotiation Clause Samples
The Procedures for Negotiation clause outlines the steps parties must follow to resolve disputes or disagreements through negotiation before pursuing other remedies. Typically, it requires that parties notify each other of the issue, designate representatives to meet and discuss the matter, and attempt to reach a mutually acceptable solution within a specified timeframe.
