Frequently Asked Questions
In the first step, you can fully describe the dispute in a letter on your company’s letterhead, signed and stamped by the authorized signatories, and send it along with all supporting documents in a PDF file to the Association’s email address at Info@Saoi.ir.
Note: To expedite follow-ups, please make sure to include your email address and direct contact number, as well as the contact details of the company/person involved in the dispute, in the letter you send.
In the second step, your letter will be registered with the Secretariat (within a maximum of 48 hours) and forwarded to the Association’s Legal Department.
This department will take action on your letter and request the other party to respond within 7 working days regarding the raised issue.
At the end of the 7-day period, if the company/person involved in the dispute has responded, we will send their response to you (to the email address mentioned in your letter).
If they haven’t responded, or if their response is unsatisfactory and the issue remains unresolved, you can choose one of the Association’s arbitration/mediation/expertise processes based on the provided explanations.
Important Note: If deemed necessary and you meet the required conditions, you can skip to arbitration or mediation right from the beginning to shorten the timeline. However, keep in mind that each stage of arbitration or mediation requires a fee. Our experience in the Legal Department shows that many issues are resolved during the initial administrative correspondence, and legal processes may not be necessary.
In the case of an initial agreement regarding the Association’s jurisdiction for dispute resolution in the contracts between the parties:
(Generally, include the arbitration clause of the Association in the container agreement, etc.)
In the case of a secondary agreement by the parties for arbitration through the Association after a dispute arises, the parties can sign the Association’s arbitration agreement.
You can access and review all the regulations and circulars of the Association through this link.
