Arbitration; Choice of Forum Sample Clauses
The "Arbitration; Choice of Forum" clause establishes that any disputes arising under the agreement will be resolved through arbitration rather than litigation in court, and specifies the location or forum where the arbitration will take place. Typically, this clause identifies the rules governing the arbitration process (such as those of the American Arbitration Association) and designates a particular city or jurisdiction as the venue for proceedings. By doing so, it provides a clear, streamlined method for dispute resolution, reducing uncertainty and potentially saving time and costs compared to traditional court litigation.
