In that case, the customer shall provide a copy of the withholding tax certificate to Taqnyat without undue delay.

Any invoices issued by Taqnyat shall, save in the case of manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding on the customer. The customer may dispute an invoice in good faith if the disputed amount is larger than 3% (three percent) of the total invoiced amount.

The customer must notify Taqnyat in writing within 30 (thirty) days of the invoice date if they dispute any portion of the invoice. Otherwise, the customer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all rights and claims concerning such invoice.

The customer must send the written dispute notice to the Taqnyat finance team, and such dispute notice shall include at least the following: invoice number, the invoice period, the total disputed amount, and the reason for a dispute. A pending billing dispute shall not exempt the customer from timely payment of any undisputed amounts owed.

Upon receipt of the customer's dispute notice by Taqnyat, the Parties shall discuss and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith in a timely manner. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within 30 (thirty) days of the receipt of the dispute notice, the Parties agree to escalate disputes to their respective management, who shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by consulting with each other in good faith to reach an equitable resolution satisfactory to both Parties within 15 calendar days from the escalation date. Neither party shall pursue or commence proceedings regarding the dispute in any court prior to engaging in such consultations and negotiations.

Any disputes that cannot be resolved in accordance with the foregoing shall be handled in accordance with Section GOVERNING LAW below.
