Are Arbitration Agreements Legally Binding? Arbitration agreements are legally-binding if the case is disputed through binding arbitration. If the arbitration is non-binding, then you can pursue the case in court. If the arbitration is binding, then it is enforceable under law.

A submission agreement provides for the referral of disputes for resolution by arbitration. A submission agreement maybe used in circumstances where the parties have not previously included a dispute resolution clause in their contract and/or it may be used to supersede and replace prior dispute resolution agreements.
Arbitration can be binding (which means the participants must follow the arbitrator's decision and courts will enforce it) or nonbinding (meaning either party is free to reject the arbitrator's decision and take the dispute to court, as if the arbitration had never taken place). Binding arbitration is more common.
In the submission agreement, the parties agree to submit only a specific dispute to arbitration. They can do so at the time the dispute arises, while the parties are engaged in negotiations for a resolution, or even if the dispute is already being actively litigated in court.
What is binding arbitration? Binding arbitration involves the submission of a dispute to a neutral party who hears the case and makes a decision. Arbitration takes the place of a trial before a judge or jury.
First, any valid arbitration agreement must reflect the conscious, mutual and free will of the parties to resort to arbitration and not to other means of dispute resolution, including State courts. The consent of both parties to submit their dispute to arbitration is the cornerstone of arbitration.
