Arbitration Agreement Overview:
AWCCGroup.com, a leading construction company in Afghanistan, entered into multiple agreements with ECC.net under USACE-funded projects. During the execution of these projects, ECC.net withheld retention funds, which are a standard contractual practice. However, after AWCC Group fulfilled all contractual obligations, ECC.net failed to return over 1.8 million USD in retention payments.
Efforts to Resolve the Dispute:
AWCCGroup.com has diligently provided all necessary documentation to support its claim, but ECC.net continued to avoid payment without offering any clear justification. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue directly, including agreeing to an arbitration process in Dubai, UAE, ECC.net failed to participate in the proceedings.
ECC.net's Unprofessional Conduct:
In a dramatic turn of events, ECC.net abruptly closed its offices and ceased operations in Afghanistan, seemingly evading responsibility. To date, ECC.net has not honored its own arbitration agreement, demonstrating a clear lack of professionalism in business dealings with AWCC Group. Their actions have caused significant delays and financial harm, further complicating the resolution process.
Arbitration Process:
While ECC.net agreed to arbitration, it failed to uphold its commitment. AWCC Group remains determined to pursue justice for the retention funds owed. To review specific details of the arbitration process and agreement, please refer to page 2 of the ECC.net-issued document, as displayed below.
