Link Pass Service Management Rules - Chapter 7: Dispute Handling and Termination
In order to ensure the stability of the cooperative relationship, Link Pass has established the following dispute handling procedures:
1. Negotiate to resolve:
l Friendly consultation: When a dispute occurs, all parties should resolve differences through full communication and consultation based on the principle of friendly cooperation.
l Third-party neutral: If there are still problems that are difficult to solve during the negotiation process, you can seek the assistance of a third-party neutral to help resolve the dispute.
l Mediation agency: Both parties can also consider submitting the dispute to a professional mediation agency, and with the help of a professional mediator, they can reach a solution acceptable to both parties.
l Written agreement: Any negotiated settlement should be documented in writing to ensure mutual agreement and understanding of the settlement.
l Judicial approach: If negotiation and mediation fail to reach an agreement, both parties can still choose to resolve the dispute through legal means and submit it to the court for trial.
l Maintain cooperative relationship: No matter how the dispute is resolved, both parties should work together to reach a solution on the premise of maintaining the cooperative relationship.
2. Written notice:
In the event that it cannot be resolved through negotiation, either party has the right to send a written notice to the other party to clearly state the facts and reasons of the dispute and propose a solution. This written notification shall include the following elements:
l - Statement of Facts: A detailed account of the events, actions or circumstances that gave rise to the dispute, ensuring that the other party fully understands the source and context of the dispute.
l -Reason Explanation: Explain the explanation and reasons for their respective positions, and clarify the cognition and views of both parties on the dispute.
l -Legal basis: If applicable, you can cite relevant laws and regulations or contract terms to emphasize your rights and obligations.
l -Suggested solution: clearly propose a specific solution to the dispute, which may include compromise opinions or mediation suggestions from both parties.
l - Time limit setting: set a certain time limit and require the other party to reply to the written notice within a certain period of time to ensure timely communication and feedback.
l -Confidentiality: If sensitive information is involved, confidentiality can be emphasized in the notice to ensure that the dispute will not affect the commercial interests and reputation of both parties.
l - Signature and date: The notice should be signed by the sending party and indicate the date of issue to ensure the authenticity and validity of the notice.
The issuance of a written notice can provide a clear communication channel for further dispute resolution and create conditions for subsequent processing and negotiation.
3. Internal review:
Upon receipt of the written notice, both parties should expeditiously initiate an internal review process to fully analyze and evaluate the dispute involved. The internal review process may include the following steps:
l Problem sorting: clarify the core issues, dispute points and scope of influence of disputes to ensure a comprehensive understanding of disputes.
l Data Collection: Collect relevant data, documents and evidence to support the analysis and evaluation of the dispute.
l Departmental Discussion: All departments involved are invited to participate in the discussion to obtain opinions and suggestions from different perspectives.
l Professional opinion collection: If necessary, the opinions of internal experts or lawyers can be sought to provide professional support for the formulation of solutions.
l Impact Assessment: Assess the possible impact of a dispute on various aspects, including commercial, legal, reputational, etc.
l Solution exploration: Discuss possible solutions and compromises, seeking to reach consensus.
l Decision-making: Based on the results of internal deliberation, formulate specific decision-making plans, including whether to accept the solution proposed by the other party, or put forward your own mediation suggestions.
The purpose of the internal deliberation process is to fully understand and evaluate the dispute, and to provide support and guidance for subsequent negotiation and resolution. Through internal deliberation, both parties can more clearly understand the nature and impact of disputes, and thus seek solutions in a more targeted manner.
4. Third-party arbitration:
If no agreement can be reached after internal deliberation, both parties may jointly decide to adopt third-party arbitration to resolve the dispute. Third-party arbitration is an independent, impartial, and fair way to resolve disputes. It is usually implemented by a professional arbitration institution or arbitrator. The award is final and both parties must abide by it.
Steps for third-party arbitration may include:
l Arbitration agreement: The two parties negotiate and sign an arbitration agreement, confirming that they agree to submit the dispute to a third-party arbitration institution for resolution, and agree on the arbitration procedure and rules.
l Arbitration application: According to the arbitration agreement, one party submits an arbitration application to the designated arbitration institution and applies for the initiation of the arbitration procedure.
l Composition of the arbitral tribunal: The arbitration institution forms the arbitral tribunal according to regulations, usually composed of independent arbitrators, whose impartiality and professionalism are guaranteed.
l Evidence exchange: Both parties submit evidence, documents and opinion statements, and the arbitral tribunal reviews and exchanges evidence.
l Arbitration Hearing: Both parties may conduct an arbitration hearing to present, argue and provide evidence on the matters in dispute.
l Ruling result: The arbitral tribunal makes a ruling after a comprehensive evaluation, and the ruling result is the final decision, and both parties need to abide by it.
The advantage of third-party arbitration lies in its impartiality and professionalism, which can resolve disputes relatively quickly and avoid long-term litigation process. However, it should be noted that the arbitral award is final, and both parties need to accept the award result. Once the award is made , there is usually no appeal.
5. Legal proceedings:
If the dispute cannot be resolved after arbitration, either party may choose to file a lawsuit in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with applicable laws to resolve the dispute.
Steps in legal proceedings may include:
l Application for prosecution: One party submits a complaint to a court with jurisdiction, detailing the facts, reasons and claims of the dispute.
l Defense and debate: The defendant submits a statement of defense within the statutory time limit, expounding its views and arguments. Both parties may engage in multiple rounds of court debate, submitting evidence, documents and testimony.
l Evidence review: the court reviews and evaluates the evidence submitted by both parties, and can conduct witness arraignment, etc.
l makes a final judgment or ruling based on the trial situation to resolve disputes, and the judgment result is legally binding.
l Appeal procedure: After the judgment of the first instance, if one party is dissatisfied with the judgment result, he may file an appeal in accordance with the law and submit the case to a higher court for retrial.
Legal action is a formal avenue for dispute resolution, but can take longer and be more expensive than arbitration. During the litigation process, the court will make a judgment based on the law and evidence, and both parties must abide by it. Before opting for legal action, it is usually recommended that both parties fully consider its cost, time and possible outcome.
Through the above dispute handling procedures, Link Pass aims to ensure that disputes arising during the cooperation process can be properly handled to ensure the stable and sustainable development of the cooperative relationship.
