Description

The Arbitration Agreement serves as a legally binding contract between the purchaser and retailer in the sale of a manufactured home. It is executed alongside the sales contract and establishes that disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration, as governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Key features include the ability for any party, including manufacturers and financiers, to initiate arbitration by providing written notice within a specified timeframe. The arbitration process is administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, requiring independent and licensed arbitrators. The agreement articulates the conditions under which arbitration is triggered, the structure based on claim amounts, and the allocation of fees and costs. Importantly, it waives the right to jury trials, underscoring the commitment to arbitrate rather than engage in litigation. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it outlines clear procedures for handling disputes related to manufactured home transactions and clarifies the rights involved, making it a practical tool for legal counsel and residential transactions.
