Description

The Arbitration Agreement is a legal document designed to facilitate the resolution of disputes related to the sale and purchase of a manufactured home in Florida. This agreement binds purchasers and retailers, emphasizing that all disputes will be settled through binding arbitration, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Key features include the requirement for both parties to provide written notice to initiate arbitration, the specification of arbitration panels based on the value of the claim, and the arbitration occurring in the county of sale. Importantly, the contract asserts that parties waive their right to a jury trial, thereby highlighting the alternative nature of arbitration. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in real estate transactions or consumer goods sales. It allows legal representatives to streamline dispute resolution processes, ensuring timely arbitral proceedings and reducing the costs associated with traditional litigation. Adhering to the Federal Arbitration Act, the agreement also outlines the steps for initiating arbitration, making it an essential tool for professionals managing contracts in the manufactured home industry.
