Description

The Arbitration Agreement is designed for use in Chicago as a mechanism for resolving disputes related to the purchase of manufactured homes without the need for a lawyer. This form effectively binds both the purchaser and retailer, including their successors, to arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. Key features include clear definitions of the types of disputes subject to arbitration, the process for initiating arbitration, and guidelines on the selection of arbitrators. The agreement allows for claims up to twenty thousand dollars to be resolved by a single arbitrator, while claims exceeding this amount require a panel of three arbitrators. Users are instructed to send a written notice outlining the claim and remedy to the Retailer and American Arbitration Association, thereby ensuring proper documentation and preparedness for arbitration. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can utilize this form to streamline dispute resolutions, thereby reducing costs and time typically associated with litigation. The form's clear instructions enhance accessibility for individuals with varying levels of legal expertise, fostering an equitable process for all involved.
