Claims and arbitration.

It may happen in business that certain terms and conditions of the Contract are infringed by the Sellers or by the Buyers and then the dissatisfied party makes a claim on the other party. The Buyers most frequently make claims because of late delivery, delivery of wrong or damaged goods, or goods of interior quality. Short-shipment delivery of the goods is another cause of the Buyers’ complaint.

The Sellers in their turn can make a claim on the Buyers because of unreasonable amount claimed from them and also when the Buyers fail to open a L/C in time or place a vessel under loading, etc.

After the claim has been made it is considered and is either admitted as reasonable and justified or declined as groundless. In the first case the responsible party meets the claim fully or partly; in the second case they ask the party to withdraw the claim. In most cases the parties come to an amicable settlement of the claim but sometimes they may have to submit the matter to the arbitration court at the Russian Federation Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Moscow and there the dispute is settled in accordance with the Rules for Procedure of this Commission, i.e. the parties appoint their arbitrators from among the members of the said Commission and if the two arbitrators cannot come to an agreement, they appoint an umpire. The award of the arbitration Commission is birding upon both parties.
