The Arbitration Agreement is designed for transactions involving the purchase of manufactured homes in Contra Costa and serves as a binding contract between the Purchaser and Retailer. This Agreement facilitates the resolution of disputes through arbitration rather than court proceedings, emphasizing that all claims related to the sale and financing of the home will be addressed under the Federal Arbitration Act. Users are guided to send written notice to initiate arbitration, detailing the dispute alongside a remedy request, with specific protocols for claims exceeding or falling below twenty thousand dollars. The structure allows for arbitration before either a single arbitrator or a panel of three, comprising experienced attorneys. The Agreement also notes that users forfeit the right to a jury trial by opting for arbitration. It is essential for involved parties, including attorneys and paralegals, to ensure compliance with the American Arbitration Association's rules when addressing disputes. For people engaged in buying, selling, or financing manufactured homes, this form provides a clear pathway to resolve conflicts efficiently in Contra Costa.
