STEP TWO - ARBITRATION Sample Clauses
The "STEP TWO - ARBITRATION" clause establishes that, after initial dispute resolution efforts have failed, the parties must resolve their disagreement through arbitration rather than litigation. Typically, this means that an impartial third-party arbitrator will hear both sides and make a binding decision, often following specific rules or procedures outlined in the contract. This clause streamlines the dispute resolution process, providing a private, efficient, and often faster alternative to court proceedings, thereby reducing the time and costs associated with legal disputes.
