What is Mediation/Adjudication?
Mediation is an optional ‘first stage’ of the adjudication process mentioned above. While adjudication is like a trial, mediation is like a negotiation and often results in both parties coming away with something positive. In mediation, Global Developers works with both parties to negotiate terms such that both parties are willing to change some portion of the contract (which includes changing the price, scope or perhaps even cancelling the work). Mediation is also used if the two parties have conducted their own private mediation, but neglected to document it on the site. In this case, Global Developers merely uses it to get both parties to formally agree to the new terms in a legally binding manner.
