Spanish term

observar / observación

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
This is from a contract (Paraguay).

"Si el USUARIO tuviera **observaciones** a cualquiera de las facturas presentadas, sustentará dichas observaciones por escrito dentro del plazo previsto para el pago de las facturas en cuestión/xx días, adjuntando los fundamentos y pruebas pertinentes. La **observación** parcial de las facturas, dentro de su plazo de vencimiento, no relevará al USUARIO de su obligación de pagar los montos o las facturas no **observados** en la fecha original del vencimiento. En el caso que el USUARIO **observe** alguna factura, ya sea total o parcialmente, XXXX procederá a efectuar la revisión dentro de los xx días siguientes de notificada la observación."

I was thinking something like "note" or "remark" but it seems to refer to something stronger, more "official," if you will.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your helpful comments. Yes, I agree about "objection" or "dispute" being too strong for this context. Additionally, "query" did come to my mind just after I posted the question!
Billh Jun 21, 2013:
Agree with David Query is fine, objection a tad strong.
David Hollywood Jun 21, 2013:
"objection" is too strong IMO "query" would fit the bill
Christine Walsh Jun 21, 2013:
I think the term may be 'raise objections (in writing/ to an invoice, etc.)'
