29. Informal Dispute Resolution. Except in the event of termination pursuant to Section 4.2, if
either City or Vendor has a claim, dispute, or other matter in question for breach of duty, obligations, services
rendered or any warranty that arises under this Agreement, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter
through this dispute resolution process. The disputing party shall notify the other party in writing as soon as
practicable after discovering the claim, dispute, or breach. The notice shall state the nature of the dispute and
list the party's specific reasons for such dispute. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of the notice, both
parties shall commence the resolution process and make a good faith effort, either through email, mail, phone
conference, in person meetings, or other reasonable means to resolve any claim, dispute, breach or other matter
in question that may arise out of, or in connection with this Agreement. If the parties fail to resolve the dispute
within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of the notice of the dispute, then the parties may submit the matter
to non-binding mediation in Tarrant County, Texas, upon written consent of authorized represen�atives of both
parties in accordance with the Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or other
applicable rules governing mediation then in effect. The mediator shall be agreed to by the parties. Each party
shall be liable for its own expenses, including attorney's fees; however, the parties shall share equally in
the costs of the mediation. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute through mediation, then either party shall
have the right to exercise any and all remedies available under law regarding the dispute. Notwithstanding the
fact that the parties may be attempting to resolve a dispute in accordance with this informal dispute
resolution process, the parties agree to continue without delay all of their respective duties and obligations
under this Agreement not affected by the dispute. Either party may, before or during the exercise of the
informal dispute resolution process set forth herein, apply to a court having jurisdiction for a temporary
restraining order or preliminary injunction where such relief is necessary to protect its interests.
