Q: How do I know if there is a pre-dispute arbitration agreement in a contract?
A: All pre-dispute arbitration agreements must be stated in the contract. These agreements may vary in name, from “pre-dispute arbitration agreement” to “binding arbitration agreement” to “dispute resolution agreement.” Therefore, review the terms and conditions of the contract carefully. If you are still uncertain, ask the individual or business presenting the contract if it includes a pre-dispute arbitration agreement.
