The Arbitration Agreement is a legally binding document executed in conjunction with a sales contract for a manufactured home, establishing a mechanism for resolving disputes through arbitration rather than through court litigation. This agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and applies to both the purchaser and retailer, including any successors. Key features include provisions for arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, stipulating that claims involving amounts under Twenty Thousand Dollars are handled by a single arbitrator, while larger claims require a panel of three arbitrators. The document also clarifies that certain actions, such as the taking of collateral, are not subject to arbitration, and challenges to the agreement's validity are to be decided by the arbitrator. For future reference, parties must send written notice to initiate arbitration, detailing the nature of the dispute. This agreement serves as a vital tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, offering clear guidance for dispute resolution in transactions involving manufactured homes in Cook. The form ensures that all parties are aware of their rights and obligations, providing a structured process that can lead to a quicker resolution compared to traditional litigation.
