Description

The Arbitration Agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the process for resolving disputes related to the sale and purchase of manufactured homes through arbitration, rather than in court. It provides specific instructions for initiating arbitration, including the requirement to send a notice to both the retailer and the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The agreement emphasizes that all claims—including those for equitable relief or breaches of contract—will be resolved under the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules. Additionally, it specifies differing arbitration procedures based on the claim amount, such as using a single arbitrator for claims under twenty thousand dollars and a panel of three for larger claims. The agreement also confirms that parties waive their rights to a jury trial and acknowledges that arbitration rules differ from court procedures. Importantly, users must retain copies of the agreement and ensure that disputes are filed within statutory limits. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in real estate transactions, as it clearly delineates the arbitration process, enhances clarity on dispute resolution, and promotes efficient handling of claims related to manufactured homes.
