Step 1: Internal Good-Faith Negotiation 

  • Either party must first provide written notice of the dispute to the other, describing the issue in reasonable detail and suggesting a time to meet or confer. 
  • Within ten (10) business days of receiving such notice, the parties shall participate in a good-faith meeting (in-person, via video, or teleconference) to attempt resolution. 
  • Each party agrees to designate a senior decision-maker to participate in this step.

  • Legal or contractual basis (if any) 
  • Requested remedy or resolution 
  • The receiving party will respond in writing within seven (7) business days, with a rebuttal or counterproposal.
