The Arbitration Agreement is a binding document used in Maryland to resolve disputes related to the sale and purchase of manufactured homes. It outlines that all conflicts arising from the transaction, including any negotiations or service issues, will be handled through binding arbitration as per the Federal Arbitration Act. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) administers these proceedings under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. This agreement serves as an inducement for the purchase contract, and any disputes must be initiated by providing written notice within a specified timeframe. The process allows for either a single arbitrator or a panel of three arbitrators based on the claim amount. Arbitrators must have relevant legal experience and be licensed in the applicable state. The document ensures that both parties waive their rights to a jury trial, emphasizing the differences between arbitration and court trials. This agreement is beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides a clear framework for handling potential disputes while promoting a streamlined process in a commercial setting.
