Description

The Arbitration Agreement is a critical document for resolving disputes between purchasers and retailers concerning manufactured homes in Pennsylvania. It emphasizes that all claims related to the sale, purchase, or occupancy of the home will be managed through binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. This agreement is legally binding and requires both purchasers and retailers to waive their right to a jury trial, thereby understanding that arbitration procedures differ from court procedures. The document outlines specific steps for initiating arbitration, including the necessity of a written notice detailing the claim and remedy sought. For claims up to Twenty Thousand Dollars, a single arbitrator is appointed, while claims greater than that will involve a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitration is scheduled in the county of sale, promoting convenience for the parties involved. It also addresses the sharing of arbitration costs and the possibility of informal dispute resolution by state agencies before proceeding to arbitration. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants engaged in real estate or consumer law, providing a structured approach for handling disputes in a legally binding manner.
