It is often a clause in a larger contract that states that any disputes you have with your counterpart will be resolved out of court by Arbitration. An alternative to bringing a lawsuit and appearing in court is Arbitration. The arbitration procedure is similar to courtroom proceedings in that attorneys may represent the parties, exchange information, and have a hearing where the parties cross-examine witnesses and make their points. The arbitrator will decide after the hearing. This procedure has been flourishing widely in India. The arbitration procedure starts when the parties agree to arbitrate the dispute, not when the problem first arises. The facts, in this case, determine and direct the law, which is crucially essential for completing this process. 
 
Any two parties who sign into an arbitration agreement must agree to arbitrate any disputes that may arise between them over the terms of the agreement, without resorting to the courts and with the assistance of an arbitrator. A written arbitration agreement or clause is required. There is no required formal document, but it must be evident from the document that the parties agreed to resolve their differences through Arbitration. 
 
Arbitration can either be nonbinding or binding. Nonbinding means either party can reject the arbitrator's judgement and take the dispute to court as if the Arbitration had never occurred. Binding means the parties must abide by the arbitrator's decision, and courts will enforce it. Binding is the most common one. 
 
Some of the principles of Arbitration include the following: 
 
Arbitration is a consensual process, among other arbitration concepts. 
The arbitrator is self chosen 
Arbitration process is private. 
The arbitral tribunal's decision is binding and straightforward to implement. 
 
Benefits of Arbitration 
 
Arbitration is a quicker and less expensive process. The courts can intervene to enforce arbitrated rulings and typically decline to reverse them. 
The parties in Arbitration are frequently more likely to cooperate peacefully rather than intensify their tension and antagonism because they typically participate fully and occasionally even assist in the resolution. 
This process ultimately leads to a lengthy process of submitting documents and motions and showing up for court proceedings like motion hearings. It simplifies the laws and eliminates the hassle of travelling to court to seek justice. 
Arbitration permits more inventive decisions than civil courts can. 
Arbitration sessions can typically be organized around the requirements and availabilities of persons concerned, including weekends and evenings, in contrast to trials, which must fit into busy court calendars. 
The information raised in the dispute and its resolution can remain secret because arbitration results in a private resolution. 
 
Arbitration is a beneficial instrument for settling conflicts, but it must be carefully considered whether it is appropriate or desirable in a specific disagreement. Proceeding with Arbitration is usually the best-preferred method to resolve disputes out of the courts. If you require assistance concerning an arbitration provision, seek the advice of an experienced and qualified contract lawyer, and you are good to go.
