Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted, by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court.

Arbitration often limits rights such as participating in class-action lawsuits, appealing decisions, and having a public trial with a judge or jury.
