Description
The Arbitration Agreement is a legal document used in California that outlines the process for resolving disputes between purchasers of manufactured homes and retailers through arbitration instead of litigation. It serves as a binding agreement that benefits the purchaser, retailer, and associated parties, allowing disputes regarding the sale or financing of the home to be settled through the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can utilize this form to effectively handle claims or controversies that may arise during transactions, with clear instructions to initiate the arbitration process. The agreement stipulates the need for written notice to be sent when arbitration is initiated and clarifies claims under twenty thousand dollars require a single arbitrator while those exceeding this amount require a panel of three arbitrators. Users are also made aware that they waive their right to a jury trial, understanding the differences between arbitration and court procedures. This agreement ensures disputes are managed efficiently, providing a streamlined alternative to conventional legal approaches.
