An Arbitration Clause is a clause in a contract that requires the parties to resolve any disputes or disagreements that may arise out of the contract through an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process, such as arbitration, rather than through the court system. This clause is frequently used in commercial contracts and employment contracts to protect the interests of both parties. There are two types of Arbitration Clauses: 1. Bilateral Arbitration Clause: This type of clause binds both parties to resolve any disputes through arbitration. This clause is usually used in commercial contracts, as it requires both parties to resolve any disagreement in a fair and impartial manner, without having to resort to the court system. 2. Unilateral Arbitration Clause: This type of clause binds only one of the parties to resolve any disputes through arbitration. This clause is commonly used in employment contracts, as it allows the employer to retain control over the resolution of any dispute, and prevents the employee from filing a lawsuit against the employer.
