From T&Cs: DISPUTES 25.1 In the event of any dispute or difference which may arise between Goodwood and the Supplier in connection with or arising out of this Agreement, senior authorised representatives of the parties shall, within twenty (20) Business Days of a written request from either party to the other, meet in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute without recourse to legal proceedings. If the senior authorised representatives cannot reach agreement on the dispute within such twenty (20) Business Day period the matter shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director of that part of the relevant party’s business which is responsible for performing the obligations of that party under this Agreement. 25.2 Neither party may initiate legal action until the above process has been completed unless either party has reasonable cause to do so to avoid damage to its business or to protect or preserve any right of action it may have.
