Milestone Dispute Resolution Process

Phase 1 – Understanding the issue

The defendant has to submit all the disputes related to milestone payment in the relevant project in one dispute. After the submission, the defendant has to explain the issue of the despite. From phase 1 to phase 3 the defendants must attach the documents or files that give them a positive verdict. 

The final step in phase 1 is that the seller or the buyer who raises the dispute must enter the total amount they are ready to pay or ready to receive for the project. 

Phase 2 – Negotiations

In this phase the buyers and the sellers will have a chance to tell their side story and the either party can negotiate for partial compensation. The parties can resolve their issues by themselves through this phase. The party who started the dispute will have the authority to close the dispute.

If the issue is not solved through negotiation then they choose to transfer the dispute to netjobsall.com dispute team to proceed further.  The either party has to pay a fee to the dispute team. If the parties resolve their dispute through mutual agreement or the defendant cancels the dispute before reaching the arbiter then the arbitration fee will be refunded. 

Phase 3 – Final proposal and evidence

During this phase both of the parties still have the chance to negotiate the dispute by themselves. If one of the parties paid the fee to the arbitration then the other party must also pay the fee within 4 days.

If the fee is not paid by the opponent party within the given 4 days, then the dispute will be favoured to the user who first brought the dispute into arbitration. In case of resolving the issue, before the opponent responds to pay the fee, then the user who paid the fee will be refunded. 

Before the dispute crosses phase 3, the user must submit their evidence to support their case. After the reach of phase 4, no evidence is accepted by the team of arbitration. It is important to submit the evidence as the dispute is solved based upon it. 

Phase 4 – Arbitration

The team of dispute will attain decision making at the phase 4. The process usually takes around 48 hours to review all the evidence. The verdicts by the team are final and it is not reversible. The party who wins the arbitration will be refunded and if the respondent party does not pay the arbitration fee until phase 4 will declare the complainant as the dispute winner by default.
