Description

The Arbitration Agreement is a contract executed alongside a sales contract for purchasing a manufactured home, recognized as part of interstate commerce under the Federal Arbitration Act. This agreement binds both the purchaser and retailer, as well as other parties involved such as manufacturers and financing entities, to resolve disputes through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Key features include a process for initiating arbitration via written notice, the specification of a single arbitrator for claims under Twenty Thousand Dollars and a panel for larger claims, and the stipulation that all arbitrators must be experienced lawyers. Notably, this agreement waives the right to a jury trial or court trial and allows parties to request inspections before arbitration begins. The document is useful for attorneys and legal professionals who need to guide clients through arbitration for disputes over home purchases. It serves partners and owners in understanding their obligations and rights under the contract, while associates and paralegals can assist in preparing cases and notices for arbitration. Legal assistants can benefit from the clarity of the document to help clients navigate the arbitration process effectively.
