Dispute resolution process
MSI and the supplier shall make every effort to resolve amicably by direct informal negotiation any disagreement or dispute arising between them. If the disagreement or dispute is not resolved through negotiation, MSI and the supplier shall attempt in good faith to resolve the disagreement or dispute through an Alternative Dispute Resolution procedure as recommended to the parties by the Centre for Dispute Resolution. If after 30 days from the commencement of such informal negotiations or, as the case may be, mediation, MSI and the supplier have been unable to resolve amicably the disagreement or dispute, either party may require that it be referred for settlement or arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, as follows: The number of arbitrators shall be one; the place of arbitration shall be London; the language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
