Dispute resolution process
In the event of a dispute between HVG and the supplier a complaint can be raised to the finance department within HVG who will contact the responsible manager. The finance department and supplier have to reach agreement within a reasonable period. A reasonable period is defined by the parties involved. If the dispute is not resolved the supplier shall escalate the dispute to a senior representative of the supplier and the HVG manager shall escalate the dispute to the Board of HVG in order to resolve and settle the dispute between parties within a reasonable time (after consultation with the legal department of HVG). If a settlement cannot be met, the matter may be referred to the court of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, unless parties have agreed otherwise or have indicated another competent court, based on the agreement between the supplier and HVG, the applicable and agreed general terms and conditions and the rules of private international law.
