• Step 2 — Mediation: If informal resolution is unsuccessful, both parties agree to attempt mediation through a mutually agreed mediator before initiating formal legal proceedings.
• Step 3 — Arbitration or litigation: Where mediation fails, disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Nigerian courts, or, if agreed by both parties, to international commercial arbitration under rules to be agreed at the time.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent imminent harm.
