4. AMOUNT IN DISPUTE

The amount in dispute shall be set by the Parties, considering the economic interest discussed in the mediation.

If the amount in dispute is unknown or if the Parties disagree thereon, the Secretariat of the CAM-CCBC shall set the amount in dispute for purposes of calculation of the administrative fee and the mediator’s fees.

5. EXPENSES

The expense fund corresponds to the provisioning of expenses incurred with the remittance of documents, copies, printouts, hiring of suppliers for support at meetings, travels, accommodation, among others. The expenses are charged based on their cost amount, without any additional sums, except for the taxes that may incur on reimbursement thereof.

The Secretariat shall request that the Parties pay in advance the estimated expenses by the date of execution of the Terms of Reference.

Following the execution of the Terms of Reference, the Secretariat of the CAM-CCBC may request the payment of a supplementary amount.

6. PAYMENT TO THE MEDIATOR

The mediator, upon acceptance, shall inform to the CCBC the payment terms to be observed in respect of fees and reimbursement of expenses.
