13. DISPUTES
13.1 Good Faith Negotiation:
The parties shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms (including the existence, validity, breach, or
termination of them) through prompt, good faith negotiations between senior representatives of each party.
13.2 Escalation Procedure:
If a dispute is not resolved within 10 business days of either party giving written notice of the dispute, the matter must be escalated to the directors (or equivalent senior officers) of both
parties, who must then attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith within a further 10 business days.
13.3 Continuity of Obligations:
While any dispute is being resolved, both parties must continue to perform their respective obligations under these Terms, including payment of Fees, without set-off, delay, or suspension,
unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
13.4 Legal Proceedings and Urgent Relief:
Nothing in this clause shall prevent either party from seeking urgent interim, injunctive, or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction at any time, whether before or during
the dispute resolution process, where such relief is reasonably required to protect that party’s rights or interests.

b. Uses all reasonable efforts to mitigate and overcome the impact of the Force Majeure Event; and
