FAQ
Questions that commonly arise before signing an arbitration agreement or commencing proceedings.

Can any dispute be arbitrated?

What if my contract has no arbitration clause?
The parties may enter into a subsequent arbitration agreement. The template is available on the Model Arbitration Clause page.
Can the Center decide my case?
No. The Center administers the proceedings; the decision rests with the arbitral tribunal.
How much does it cost?
The filing fee, administrative fees and arbitrators' fees are set out in the Schedule of Fees and depend on the amount in dispute.
