Referral to Arbitration Clause Samples

The Referral to Arbitration clause establishes that disputes arising under the contract will be resolved through arbitration rather than through court litigation. Typically, this clause outlines the process for initiating arbitration, specifies the governing rules (such as those of a particular arbitration institution), and may set requirements for the location and number of arbitrators. Its core practical function is to provide a private, often faster and more flexible, method for resolving disagreements, thereby reducing the time, cost, and public exposure associated with traditional court proceedings.
