Washington Note for Arbitration is a document that outlines the terms of an agreement between two parties that have agreed to enter into arbitration. It is used to memorialize the details of the agreement, such as the scope of arbitration, the time frame, the venue, the rules of the arbitration, and the fee structure. The Washington Note is named after the Washington Convention on the Settlement of International Disputes by Arbitration, the first international arbitration agreement. There are two main types of Washington Note for Arbitration: the Washington Convention Note and the Washington Model Note. The Washington Convention Note is an agreement between two parties that outlines the scope and terms of arbitration. It must be signed by the two parties before any arbitration proceedings can begin. The Washington Model Note is a template that is used by parties to draft their own Washington Note. It is more detailed than the Washington Convention Note and provides more specific guidance about the arbitration process.
