Virginia Arbitration
Virginia Arbitration is a dispute resolution process in which a neutral Virginia Arbitrator is selected and empowered to make a decision between parties having complaints or dispute. The Virginia Arbitrator hears the disagreement and evidence presented by each party. After careful review considering all relevant information, the Virginia Arbitrator will issue an award to the party having the stronger case. Virginia Arbitration decisions may be either binding or non-binding, depending on the terms of the arbitration clause agreement. Binding arbitration decisions have the same significance as a court judgment. The Virginia Arbitrator award cannot be reviewed by a court, and there cannot be an appeal of the Virginia Arbitrator's decision.
Virginia Arbitration is considered less expensive and a
quicker
dispute resolution alternative than through Court litigation.

Arbitration Clause is inserted into

dispute resolved by Virginia Arbitration.
