contract dispute

Terms under contention

A contract dispute is a disagreement between parties to a contract about its terms, interpretation, or whether obligations have been fulfilled.

Such disputes commonly arise over payment, delivery, quality of work, or breach of agreement.

Contract disputes may be resolved through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, depending on what the contract specifies and how contentious the matter becomes.
