    32. Dispute Resolution Procedure
    32.1. If a dispute arises out of or in connection with the Contract or these Conditions or the performance, validity or enforceability of the Contract or these Conditions (Dispute), then, except as expressly provided in these Conditions, the parties shall follow the procedure set out in this clause:
    32.1.1. either party shall give to the other written notice of the Dispute, setting out its nature and full particulars (Dispute Notice), together with relevant supporting documents. On service of the Dispute Notice, the Finance Director of the Company and the Finance Director of the Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute;
    32.1.2. if the Finance Director of the Company and the Finance Director of the Buyer are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 14 days of service of the Dispute Notice, the Dispute shall be referred to the CEO of the Company and the CEO of the Buyer who shall attempt in good faith to resolve it; and
    32.1.3. if the CEO of the Company and the CEO of the Buyer are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 14 days of it being referred to them, the parties agree to enter into mediation in good faith to settle the Dispute in accordance with the CEDR Model Mediation Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties within 28 days of service of the Dispute Notice, the mediator shall be nominated by CEDR. To initiate the mediation, a party must serve notice in writing (ADR notice) to the other party to the Dispute, referring the dispute to mediation. A copy of the ADR notice should be sent to CEDR. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the mediation will start not later than 28 days after the date of the ADR notice.

    32.2. The commencement of mediation shall not prevent the parties commencing or continuing court proceedings in relation to the Dispute under clause 25, which clause shall apply at all times.

    32.3. If the Dispute is not resolved within 56 days after service of the ADR notice, or either party fails to participate or ceases to participate in the mediation before the expiry of that 56 day period, or the mediation terminates before the expiry of that 56 day period, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by the courts of England and Wales in accordance with clause 25.
