eMediate - Online Mediation
Arbitration
Clause
Wherever the right to contract is assured, you and the other
party can agree by contract to use eMediate as mediator and arbitrator
for any potential dispute. It is best if this agreement is in place
before any dispute arises. This is accomplished by simply adding the
paragraph in the box below, to all contracts before signing.
By doing this, you will keep your dispute out of public courts. Your attorney may discourage this. Remember, many attorneys earn money by filing lawsuits, which you want to avoid.
If you failed to have this Arbitration Clause in place in advance and now find yourself in a dispute, it may not be too late. However, you now need to convince your adversary to voluntarily agree to have eMediate hear the issue. This could be more difficult, but may be possible in the interests of economy, privacy and ease. If you find yourself in this predicament, we may be able to help. Click here for our invitation widget.
If you are wise and want to prepare in advance, select and copy the following clause and then paste it into all of your contracts.
If you have any questions, contact us here, or if you would like a free e-consultation, contact here.
Medical practitioners and others in a "superior role" of the relationship (see Malpractice and Validity of Contracts ) may be able to reduce voidability of their contract by adding the following clause (in addition to the clause above):

Sample Arbitration Clause to add to your contracts
Medical practitioners and others in a "superior role" of the relationship (see Malpractice and Validity of Contracts ) may be able to reduce voidability of their contract by adding the following clause (in addition to the clause above):
|
"Currently, there is no doctor / patient relationship between the parties. This contract merely contemplates initiation of that possible future relationship. Because there is no relationship, both parties are equal under the law (without any superiority or undue influence, presumed or actual). Part of the inducement (consideration) to enter into a future relationship, at the prices contemplated, is the offer and acceptance of this agreement for eMediate to arbitrate any dispute." _______________________________ (signature) |
