Description

The Arbitration Agreement serves as a binding document in Michigan, specifically tailored for disputes arising from the sale or occupancy of manufactured homes. It establishes that any claims related to the transaction, including issues of contract, fraud, or warranty, will be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The agreement highlights that arbitration is initiated by sending a written notice to the retailer and the AAA, detailing the dispute and remedy sought. Notably, the document requires that claims under twenty thousand dollars be arbitrated by a single arbitrator, while higher claims involve a panel of three arbitrators. It emphasizes that all arbitrators must be qualified lawyers, ensuring a professional resolution process. The agreement also clarifies that parties waive their right to a jury trial and that arbitration procedures differ significantly from court proceedings. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants will find this form useful for efficiently managing disputes in a cost-effective manner, reducing the lengthy judicial process while ensuring that rights are still preserved in an arbitration setting.
