Guidelines for Drafting an Agreement to Refer Disputes to Arbitration

This agreement is used in various commercial and legal contexts when parties wish to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than litigation. It outlines the terms and conditions governing the arbitration process. Here are key considerations when drafting such an agreement:

Title and Parties: Clearly identify the document as an "Agreement to Refer Disputes to Arbitration." Specify the names, addresses, and contact details of all parties involved.

Arbitration Rules: Specify the rules and procedures that will govern the arbitration, such as those of a recognized arbitration institution or custom rules tailored to the dispute.

Arbitrator Selection: Detail the process for selecting the arbitrator(s), including whether they will be appointed by the parties or through an arbitration institution.

Scope of Arbitration: Clearly define the disputes covered by the agreement, including specific issues or claims subject to arbitration.

Governing Law: Specify the governing law that will apply to the arbitration agreement itself and any substantive issues.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Vague Language: Ensure that all terms and clauses are clear and precise to avoid ambiguity that could lead to disputes.

Failure to Identify the Arbitrator: Clearly state the method for appointing the arbitrator(s) to avoid potential disagreements.

Exclusion of Disputes: Be comprehensive in defining the scope of disputes to prevent future disputes about what is subject to arbitration.

Inadequate Notice and Communication: Define the process for initiating arbitration and set deadlines for communication and submissions.

Noncompliance with Applicable Laws: Ensure that the agreement complies with local and international arbitration laws and regulations to avoid unenforceable clauses.

In conclusion, an Agreement to Refer Disputes to Arbitration is a powerful tool for resolving disputes efficiently and privately. By adhering to these guidelines and avoiding common mistakes, parties can ensure a smooth and effective arbitration process.
