PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Last modified July 27, 2023)
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. They describe your rights and your obligations.
The English version of these Terms and Conditions controls over a version in another language.
These Terms and Conditions are being issued as part of a purchase commitment (a "Purchase Order") that is being made by the Purchaser (as defined below) to the Seller (as defined below) via Paramount Global's vendor portal (which utilizes systems such as the Ariba Network) (the "Vendor Portal").
1. Document Components; Binding Agreement
(a) The order detail in the Vendor Portal that was prepared by the Purchaser is considered the face of the Purchase Order (the "Face"). The transaction described in the order detail on the Face is governed by these Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (these "Terms"). The order detail on the Face describes the purchase and/or license (the "Purchase") of certain goods, software, rights and/or services (together, the "Materials"). (i) The Face, (ii) these Terms, (iii) any document executed by Buyer and Seller that is referenced on the Face (a "Referenced Document") and (iv) any document executed by Buyer and Seller that by its terms covers the Purchase of the Materials but that is not referenced on the Face (an "Unreferenced Document") constitute the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Purchase referenced on the Face ((i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) together, this "Agreement"). This Agreement is binding with respect to the Purchase of the Materials described on the Face.
(b) In the event of any conflicting provisions between or among components of this Agreement, the following order of priorities governs (descending, with the lower number superseding the higher number): (i) the description of the Materials and the amount and timing of the payment in respect of the Purchase as set forth on the Face, (ii) a Referenced Document, (iii) an Unreferenced Document but only to the extent that both parties agree that such Unreferenced Document was intended to cover the Purchase of the Materials described on the Face, and (iv) these Terms. If the Face contains any terms that are outside the reasonable scope of a description of the Materials and the amount and timing of the payment in respect of the Purchase, and if such additional terms attempt to vary any other part of the components of this Agreement, then such variances are to be ignored and are not to be binding on either party unless both parties agree.
2. Parties
On the Face, the entity listed immediately next to the word "From" is referred to as the "Purchaser" of the Materials. On the Face, the entity listed immediately next to the word "To" is referred to as the "Seller". However, there may be certain circumstances when the order detail is viewable in a different format. Under such circumstances, the entity listed immediately next to the words "Ship To" is referred to as the "Purchaser" of the Materials; and the entity listed immediately next to the word "Supplier" is referred to as the "Seller". In either case, the Purchaser is the Paramount Entity that is identified in the order detail in the Vendor Portal. "Affiliate" means any entity directly or indirectly controlled by Paramount Global either now or in the future, and the term "Affiliate" includes Paramount Global if the Purchaser is any Paramount Entity other than Paramount Global. An entity "controls" another entity when it owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares having voting rights, membership or partnership interests, or when it has management or operational control through a management agreement or otherwise. A "Paramount Entity" means either Paramount Global or one of its Affiliates. The Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, is referred to as, the "Buyer". The term "Seller" includes its subsidiaries and affiliates.
3. Offer and Acceptance; Other Terms Not Binding
(a) Prior to the issuance of the Purchase Order, the Seller provided to Buyer (1) a quote, (2) a bid, (3) a proposal, or (4) other communication of that nature, under which Seller offered to provide the Materials to the Buyer ((1), (2), (3) or (4), the "Offer"). The listing of the Purchase Order in the Vendor Portal by Buyer is Buyer's acceptance of the Offer and Buyer's agreement to purchase the Materials, provided, however, Buyer's acceptance of the Offer and Buyer's agreement to purchase the Materials is expressly conditioned upon Seller's consent to be bound by these Terms as a part of this Agreement. This Agreement is the entire contract between Buyer and Seller relating to the Purchase of the Materials.
(b) Any reference in this Agreement to any (1) a quote, (2) a bid, (3) a proposal, or (4) other communication of that nature, under which Seller offered to provide the Materials to the Buyer (together, "Seller's Proposals") (except as set forth in Section 3(d) below) is limited to the description of the Materials that are subject to the Purchase, and any terms and conditions stated in Seller's Proposals other than the description of the Materials is superseded by this Agreement and is not binding on Buyer.
(c) An acknowledgement of this agreement by Seller (for instance, by taking an action within the Vendor Portal) operates as confirmation of these Terms as a part of this Agreement by the Seller even if the acknowledgement states terms and conditions that are additional to or different from (the "Acknowledgement's Terms") the Terms stated in this Agreement. No portion of the Acknowledgement's Terms are binding on the Buyer. The acknowledgement of these Terms and/or this Agreement by Seller may only operate as a counteroffer with respect to the description of the Materials and the amount and timing of the payment in respect of the Purchase if (and only if) Buyer lists a revised Purchase Order with the terms of the counteroffer in the Vendor Portal. Such listing of the revised terms is Buyer's acceptance of the counteroffer, provided, however, Buyer's acceptance of the counteroffer and Buyer's agreement to purchase the Materials is expressly conditioned upon Seller's consent to be bound by these Terms as a part of this Agreement.
(d) Any terms and conditions stated in Seller's Proposals, the Acknowledgement's Terms and any other terms and conditions of Seller are not binding upon Buyer except to the extent Buyer and Seller have (i) specifically executed by hand (or placed an electronic signature on) a document in which such terms and conditions are explicitly agreed upon and (ii) delivered to the other that signed document. See Section 21(b)(iii) below.
(e) Commencement of performance by Seller, or receipt of payment from Buyer without immediate return or refund by Seller, also constitutes Seller's consent to be bound by the Terms as part of this Agreement.
4. Specifications and Description; Ownership, License and Support
4.1 (a) The Seller must provide the Materials described on the Face in accordance with any specifications, drawings, samples, descriptions, instructions, or any other requirements submitted by Buyer to Seller, or provided by Seller to Buyer and agreed by Buyer prior to Purchaser's creation of the order detail in the Vendor Portal (together, the "Specifications"). The Specifications are incorporated herein and are made part of this Agreement. Seller may not make substitutions without the written consent of Buyer. In the case of any ambiguity in the Specifications, Seller must consult with Buyer before performing; and absent agreed upon clarifications, Buyer's interpretation of any such ambiguity controls.
4.2 Ownership of the Output of all Services.
(a) If the Materials prepared by Seller pursuant to this Agreement are in the nature the output of professional services or creative services, such as, (i) software, designs, plans, creative, artistic, audiovisual or other materials; (ii) drawings, illustrations, artwork photographs, logos, storyboards, animation and/or other graphic or optical materials; (iii) text and other literary materials; music, sounds, and musical compositions; filmed and/or taped footage and sound recordings; (iv) trailers, television spots and/or other audiovisual materials; software, code or programming special effects; and/or (v) all other types of output of professional services or creative services that are subject to protection under United States Copyright Laws, then Seller agrees that all such Materials, whether or not included in the final version thereof, shall be created and produced as a "work-made-for-hire" for Buyer as defined in the United States Copyright Laws, and that Buyer therefore owns all of the rights comprised in the copyright in and to such Materials. If, for any reason, any portion of the Materials are deemed not to be a work-made-for-hire under United States Copyright Laws, then Seller hereby assigns to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest (including the copyright) in and to such Materials or portions thereof. Seller acknowledges that some or all of the Materials (as may be designated by Buyer from time to time) may have been specially commissioned by Buyer for use as part of an audiovisual work or as a supplementary work to an audiovisual work prepared for the purpose of introducing, illustrating, explaining or assisting in Buyer's use of such audiovisual work. Title to all intangible Materials created as part of any engagement under this Agreement passes to Buyer automatically when such item is fixed in a tangible medium, whether or not such item is complete or delivered, and all rights, title and interest in such intellectual property or Materials exclusively vests at such time in Buyer.
(b) With respect to any tangible Materials prepared by Seller pursuant to the Agreement that are not covered by Section 4.2(a) above, Seller hereby irrevocably assigns to Buyer all right, title and interest in and to such Materials, and Seller agrees that Buyer is the sole and exclusive owner of such Materials throughout the world and in perpetuity. Title to all tangible Materials prepared by Seller pursuant to this Agreement passes to Buyer automatically upon Delivery (as defined below) of such goods. Prior to such passage of title, Seller bears all risks of the loss of or damage to any such goods.
(c) Buyer has the sole and exclusive right to use or refrain from using all Materials prepared pursuant to this Agreement, in whole or in part, in its sole and absolute discretion, in whatever manner or medium it may desire, including the right to (i) cut, edit, revise, alter and/or otherwise modify; (ii) freely use, perform, distribute, exhibit, televise and exploit; and/or (iii) license others to do any of the foregoing and in any media now known or hereafter devised.
(d) Seller expressly waives the exercise of any provision of law known as "droit moral" or any similar law that may be recognized in any country or place, and agrees not to institute, support, maintain or permit any action or proceeding on the grounds that Buyer's use of any Materials provided by Seller constitutes a violation or infringement of Seller's droit moral or is in any way a defamation or mutilation of such Materials.
(e) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer if Seller becomes aware of any right of, or protection afforded to, a third party that might (i) affect Seller's ability to provide the Materials hereunder, (ii) limit Buyer's freedom to use or sell such Materials anywhere in the world, or (iii) limit Buyer's rights to the results and proceeds of such Materials anywhere in the world.
(f) If any software or software-as-a-service is referenced on the Face, or if any software is provided as part of any services, or if any software is incorporated into or provided with any goods, then Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer's third-party service providers: (i) for software with a fixed term stated on the Face, a non-transferable, non-exclusive, paid-up, irrevocable, worldwide license to access, use, duplicate, create derivative works, display and benefit from such software for the period of the term stated on the Face; and (ii) for software that does not have a fixed term stated on the Face, a non-transferable, non-exclusive, paid-up irrevocable, worldwide license to access, use, duplicate, create derivative works, display and benefit from such software in perpetuity. Buyer's third-party service providers may only access and use the software on behalf of, and for the benefit of, Buyer.
(g) If any maintenance or support for any goods or software is referenced on the Face, then Seller shall provide to Buyer the level of maintenance and support that is referenced on the Face in a manner that is no less favorable than the highest level of maintenance and support that Seller then offers to its other customers who have purchased that level of maintenance and support. In any event, all maintenance and support referenced on the Face is to include all standard upgrades, updates, bug-fixes and error-correction services.
4.3 Nothing contained in this Agreement obligates Buyer to utilize the results and proceeds of any of the Materials provided or performed by Seller under this Agreement.
5. Shipment and Delivery
(a) Shipment. For each shipment, Seller shall comply with customs-related obligations, all applicable regulations or other legal requirements and compliances concerning the manufacturing, packaging and delivery of the Materials, including origin marking or labeling requirements, invoicing and documentation requirements of the destination country, and local content origin requirements.
(b) Delivery. Time is of the Essence with respect to Seller's furnishing the Materials in the manner and time periods described on the Face. Delivery is deemed to have occurred as follows: (i) in respect of goods, when the goods arrive at Buyer's location identified on the Face and are acknowledged in writing as received by Buyer; (ii) in respect of software and/or rights, when the subject software and/or rights are made available to Buyer for use or download; and (iii) in respect of services, upon Buyer's Acceptance of such services (in each case of (i)-(iii) above, the "Delivery"). The term "Deliver" or "Delivered" means Seller's Delivery of the Materials. Receipt of late Delivery by Buyer does not: (x) constitute a waiver of Buyer's rights or remedies, including the right to hold Seller liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; or (y) act as a modification of Seller's obligation to Deliver Materials in the future on or before the applicable Delivery date specified on the Face and in accordance with any other Delivery terms that Buyer may specify on the Face. Buyer reserves the right to reject any Materials Delivered prior to or after the applicable Delivery date and to return, at Seller's sole risk and expense, any such early or late Delivery, or to defer payment on early Deliveries until the times scheduled therefor. Where the date of Delivery of the Materials is to be specified after the listing of the Purchase Order in the Vendor Portal, then Seller shall give Buyer reasonable prior notice of the specified date, which is subject to Buyer's approval. A packing note quoting the Purchase Order number must accompany each Delivery or consignment of the Materials and must be prominently displayed. Buyer shall not be obligated to return to the Seller any packaging materials for the Materials.
6. Inspection, Acceptance Testing, Transfer of Title/Risk of Loss
(a) Inspection. All Materials are subject to inspection by Buyer both before and after Delivery ("Inspection"). Buyer reserves the right to reject and refuse Delivery of Materials that do not comply with the express or implied Specifications. Buyer shall return non-conforming Materials to Seller at Seller's sole risk and expense.
(b) Acceptance Testing. All Materials furnished are subject to Acceptance Testing in Buyer's reasonable discretion. Seller shall inform Buyer as soon as any Materials are ready for Buyer to begin Acceptance Testing. After Delivery of the relevant Materials, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence Acceptance Testing as soon as practical under the circumstances. Neither payment by Buyer of any fees to Seller nor use of the Materials for a reasonable amount of time prior to Acceptance constitutes Buyer's Acceptance of the Materials. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Seller of its Acceptance or rejection of the Materials in question within five (5) business days of completing Acceptance Testing ("Acceptance Date"). If Buyer Accepts any Materials, it shall inform Seller in writing of its Acceptance of those Materials; provided, however, that Acceptance of any Materials is revocable by Buyer upon failure of Acceptance Testing for any other Materials described on the Face. If Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion that the relevant Materials, or any portion thereof, fail to meet the Acceptance Criteria, then Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Seller via email in reasonable detail the reasons for Buyer's rejection as soon as practical under the circumstances (a "Rejection Notice"). Upon receipt of a Rejection Notice, Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to immediately (but in any event no later than ten (10) days, unless a longer period is mutually agreed by the parties, or is otherwise established by applicable law), correct all deficiencies that are referenced in such Rejection Notice. Thereafter, Seller shall resubmit the relevant Materials to Buyer for retesting, and Buyer shall retest the relevant Materials, in accordance with this Section 6(b). If the relevant Materials still fail Acceptance Testing, Buyer may in its sole discretion: (i) grant Seller additional time to correct the outstanding deficiencies; or (ii) without prejudice to any of Buyer's other rights and remedies under this Agreement, at law or in equity, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) inform the Seller of the final rejection of the relevant Materials (the "Final Rejection"), (B) terminate in whole or in part the relevant Purchase, or (C) terminate in whole or in part this Agreement, in which event ((A), (B) or (C)) Seller shall promptly refund (without any set off or counterclaim) all fees and expenses paid to Seller hereunder in respect of the rejected Materials.
(c) Certain Definitions. For the purpose of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings: (i) "Acceptance Testing" means testing performed by Buyer in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Test Plan to determine whether the relevant Materials comply with the Acceptance Criteria; (ii) "Acceptance Criteria" means (A) any Specifications set forth or referenced in this Agreement and (B) Buyer's reasonable expectations for such Materials based on the Specifications; (iii) "Acceptance Test Plan" means (A) the plan (if any) for testing the applicable Materials as may be agreed upon by the parties, and (B) such other testing as may be determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion; and (iv) "Acceptance" or "Accept" means if Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion that the relevant Materials comply with the Acceptance Criteria.
(d) Transfer of title. Transfer of title and risk of loss of tangible Materials is specified in Section 4.2 above. Upon Final Rejection, title and risk of loss of the relevant tangible Materials reverts to Seller whereupon Seller once again bears all risks of the loss of or damage to such Materials.
7. Payment Terms, Money Damages Only, No Injunctive Relief
(a) Unless otherwise specified on the Face, Seller shall submit invoices to Purchaser via the Vendor Portal. Such invoices must show the breakdown and distribution of charges and applicable expenses by task. Purchaser shall pay Seller within ninety (90) days after the later to occur of (i) Seller has satisfactorily performed its obligations hereunder and properly delivered the Materials, (ii) Purchaser has Accepted the same, and (iii) Purchaser has received an accurate invoice for the Materials (90 days after the later of those to occur is referred to as, the "Due Date"). In the event that Purchaser for whatever reason fails to make payment to Seller by the Due Date, then prior to taking any other action Seller shall provide a written reminder notice to Buyer in which Seller represents that that each of points 7(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) have been fulfilled and Seller demands such payment.
(b) Purchaser's liability for any default in payment and Seller's rights and remedies therefor are expressly limited to the recovery of money damages only. Seller shall not, under any circumstances, be entitled to impair or affect any of the rights acquired by, or to be acquired by, Purchaser under this Agreement; and Seller agrees to not seek the same. Seller shall not seek any injunctive or other equitable relief related to any rights granted under this Agreement. Seller shall not seek to terminate or rescind any rights granted under this Agreement.
(c) For all Materials specified on the Face that are to be provided on a time & materials basis, the quantities specified on the Face indicate the maximum quantities that Seller is required to provide and from which the Buyer may from time to time choose to receive a portion. Under all circumstances, the Seller shall only invoice for, and the Buyer shall only be obligated to pay for, Materials that have been actually provided and Accepted by Buyer.
8. Taxes
The term "Local Taxes" means all local, state and regional, VAT, GST, excise, sales and use taxes, but excludes any taxes related to Seller's income, assets, or obligations as an employer. All Local Taxes when applicable that are to be paid by Buyer must be stated separately on the Face and on Seller's invoice. Seller's invoices will only be accepted by Buyer if Seller's invoices conform in all respects with the local legal requirements, including where applicable the relevant local law of the Specified Jurisdiction (defined below) or EU Directives as needed for Buyer to recover input VAT. Unless otherwise specified on the Face, the prices stated on the Face include all Local Taxes. Seller is liable for the payment of all Local Taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities and Buyer is not itself liable for any Local Tax with respect to payments made to Seller under this Agreement. Buyer is not liable for any taxes related to Seller's income, assets, or obligations as an employer. Buyer may be obligated by law to withhold tax on payments to Seller; provided, however, even where Buyer has failed to so withhold, Seller remains liable for such taxes and any other taxes for which Buyer incurs a liability as withholding agent for the tax liabilities of Seller; and Buyer shall have the right to recover such liability from Seller.

(b) If Seller receives a written charge of its non-compliance with any Law, and if that charge may in anyway effect Seller's ability to perform under this Agreement, then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such charge and keep Buyer informed of any developments related thereto.
(c) Buyer is an equal opportunity employer and a federal contractor.

If Seller is required by law or otherwise to disclose any Confidential Information, then Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that Buyer may seek a protective order for the continued confidential treatment of the requested Confidential Information.
(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no commercial, financial, technical or business information of Seller disclosed in any manner or at any time by Seller shall be deemed confidential; and Seller shall have no rights against Buyer with respect thereto, except such rights as may exist under patent laws and except with respect to the pricing of Seller's Materials under this Agreement.
(c) Personal Data and Data Protection.

(d) All items furnished by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement are the sole property of Buyer and may not be copied, duplicated or furnished to third parties, or copied, duplicated or otherwise used by Seller other than to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written authorization of Buyer. Seller shall exercise all due care in protecting the security and integrity of all items furnished to Seller by Buyer. Seller shall inform Buyer of all of its security procedures that are to be used to protect Buyer's items, and Buyer shall have the right to approve or direct reasonable changes to such security procedures. In addition, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, require Seller to establish specific security procedures with respect to specific items, and Seller shall abide by such procedures. In the event of any breach by Seller of its security obligations, Buyer shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement in whole or in part.

17. Indemnification
(a) Seller shall defend, indemnify, be liable for and hold harmless Buyer, its assignees, transferees and Representatives and any of its or their directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, licensees and agents (each an "Indemnitee") from and against any and all damages, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys' fees in the defense and disposition of such matters, whether proven or not, and in relation to enforcing this indemnification provision (together, "Damages"), arising in connection with any claim or allegation (each, a "Claim") by any third party in any way relating to:
(i) Seller's performance or non-performance of any obligation in this Agreement;
(ii) one or more acts, errors or omissions by Seller, or Seller's Representatives that allegedly or actually result in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in (A) personal injury (including death) or (B) damage to real property, personal property or natural resources;
(iii) any Materials or the use thereof allegedly or actually (A) infringing, (B) misappropriating, (C) breaching or (D) violating any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, other intellectual property right, right of privacy, common law right, moral right or any other right;
(iv) Seller's alleged or actual (A) negligence, (B) willful misconduct, (C) intentional non-performance and/or (D) malfeasance (intentional and/or reckless wrongdoing with or without malicious or tortious intent); or
(v) an alleged or actual breach by Seller of Section 15 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement.
(b) With respect to a Claim, an Indemnitee shall notify Seller in writing promptly after the Indemnitee becomes aware of a Claim (though a failure to promptly notify only limits Seller's obligations hereunder to the extent Seller is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure). If (i) Seller within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of a Claim, or at any other time, fails to defend the Indemnitee with counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, (ii) the Claim arises pursuant to Section 17(a)(iii) above, (iii) the Claim arises in connection with any Materials that were provided by Seller and that were incorporated into any product, item, or materials owned or controlled by Buyer, or (iv) the Claim alleges unfair competition resulting from similarity in design, trademark or appearance of goods or materials or the result and proceeds of any services furnished hereunder, then (in the case of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)) the Indemnitee is entitled to engage counsel of its choosing, control the defense, and undertake the compromise or settlement of such Claim all at Seller's expense. The party controlling the defense of the Claim must keep the other party reasonably apprised of the status of the defense.
(c) If Seller is controlling the defense of the Claim, then it shall defend the Indemnitee with counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall (at the Seller's expense) (i) reasonably cooperate with Seller and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of a Claim and (ii) provide Seller with all information within Indemnitee's possession or control that is reasonably required for the defense of the Claim.
(d) If Seller is controlling the defense of the Claim, then Seller is entitled to settle such Claim against Indemnitee (without the prior consent of the Indemnitee) if (but only if) such settlement (i) does not involve any remedy other than the payment of money by Seller, (ii) does not impose any fault or liability, either directly or indirectly, on any Indemnitee, and (iii) provides for full and unconditional release of all implicated Indemnitees in respect of all fault and liability.
(e) If there are multiple potential indemnitors of the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall request that the other potential indemnitors cooperate with Seller. Having other potential indemnitors in a Claim is not a basis for Seller to not fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees.
(f) This Section 17 does not limit any other rights an Indemnitee may have at law or in equity.
18. Limitation of Liability
(a) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER BUYER NOR SELLER IS LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT LIABILITY IS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY, FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF IT IS ADVISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Seller shall not use Buyer’s name, or trademarks (or that of any of its Affiliates, divisions, products or brands) or impliedly refer to any of them in any advertising, promotional literature, press release or other form of public disclosure without the prior written approval of the appropriate officer of Buyer. Any violation of this Section 19 is a material breach of this Agreement.
20. Mediation, Binding Arbitration, Governing Law, Limited Court Actions, Jurisdiction and Venue
(a) Mediation: A party claiming that a Dispute has arisen must give written notice to the other party setting out the nature of the Dispute ("Dispute Notice"). Upon receipt of the Dispute Notice, senior representatives of Buyer and Seller shall make reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute amicably ("Informal Dispute Resolution"). If the Dispute is not resolved by Informal Dispute Resolution within 14 days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, or such further period as the parties may agree in writing, any party may commence arbitration as provided below.
