Drafting Notes & Guidance

This clause activates the full UNIONE™ prevention framework from the moment the contract is signed - not just when a dispute arises. The Standing Neutral is appointed within 30 days of execution and remains available throughout the contract term as a first port of call before any formal dispute process begins. Recommended for any contract where the ongoing relationship is commercially important.
