Dispute resolution process

Standard Purchasing Agreement Payment Dispute Terms: If Purchaser, in good faith, disputes any Charge, invoice or amount due under this Agreement (the “Disputed Amount”), Purchaser shall notify Supplier of such dispute. Purchaser may withhold any Disputed Amount in good faith and Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in breach of its payment obligations under this Agreement (withheld payment shall not be subject to late charges). The Parties will discuss the dispute in order to solve the issue. In the event the dispute is not solved within sixty (60) Business Days at the operational level between the relevant Parties, then the matter shall be escalated to the senior management (i.e. Vice President or equivalent) within each Party’s organization for resolution. If the dispute is still not solved thereafter, either Party may further escalate the dispute according to the provisions of Clause ‎xx (Governing Law and Jurisdiction). Standard dispute resolution clause provides for final and binding settlement of disputes by arbitration, normally under International Chamber of Commerce rules.
