29.2 If any disagreement or difference of opinion arises out of this agreement, directors for each party shall meet to attempt resolution. If, within 20 Business Days of the matter first having been referred to the directors, no agreement has been reached as to the matter in dispute, the dispute resolution process set out in this clause 29 shall be deemed to have been exhausted in respect of the matter in dispute, and each party shall be free to pursue the rights granted to it by this agreement in respect of such matter without further reference to the dispute resolution process.

29.3 For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 29 shall not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief in the case of any breach or threatened breach by the other of any obligation of confidentiality or any infringement by the other of the first-named party’s Intellectual Property Rights.
