A claimant will typically start arbitration by sending a document known as a “request for arbitration” or a “notice to arbitrate” to its opponent.
An arbitration should only be commenced when a dispute(s) has arisen between the parties.
By signing an arbitration agreement, employees give up their rights to have a jury hear and decide their case. There can often be an advantage to having an employment dispute heard before a jury, as jurors may be more sympathetic to the employee's plight.
If the arbitration is mandatory and binding, the parties waive their rights to use the court system and have a judge or jury decide the case. If the arbitrator's award is unfair or illogical, a consumer may well be stuck with it without a chance for recourse.
Some contracts give you the right to opt out of the forced arbitration clause within a certain period of time, often 30 to 60 days, after signing the agreement by notifying the company that you wish to opt out. Check your contract for the deadline and for specific instructions for opting out.

Notably, ing to Section 21 of the Arbitration Act, the arbitration proceedings commence when a notice invoking arbitration is sent by the Claimant to the other party within a maximum period of 3 years from the date of occurrence of cause of action.
