The Mediation Contract Agreement is a fundamental document used in alternative dispute resolution processes under Dutch law. It serves as the cornerstone agreement when parties choose to resolve their disputes through mediation rather than traditional litigation. This document is essential when two or more parties agree to engage in a structured mediation process with a qualified mediator. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as the mediator's appointment, confidentiality obligations, process structure, costs, and the rights and obligations of all participants. It complies with Dutch civil law requirements, relevant EU directives, and professional standards set by the Netherlands Mediation Institute (NMI). The document is particularly important as it provides legal protection for all parties involved and ensures the mediation process is conducted in a professional and regulated manner.
