Description

The Arbitration Agreement form is designed for resolving claims, disputes, and controversies through binding arbitration rather than through traditional court proceedings in Contra Costa. This form outlines the process for initiating arbitration, detailing the requirement for a written notice that describes the claims and remedies sought. It also specifies that for claims under a certain dollar amount, arbitration will involve a single independent arbitrator. The agreement emphasizes the finality of the arbitrator's decision, noting it will be binding on all parties involved. Fees and costs associated with the arbitration process can be allocated as determined by the arbitrator.
