alternative to help resolve the dispute. Section 49 U.S.C. Section 375.211provides that a

Dallas Movers must have a program in place to provide shippers with an Arbitration alternative.

Arbitration is optional and not required under Federal law.

1. 1. 1. Summary of the arbitration process: Arbitration is an alternative to courtroom

litigation. It provides each party to the dispute to present their cases and allows a neutral

third party arbitrator to make decision as to the merits of each side’s case.

2. 2. 2. Applicable costs: Each party is responsible for their own costs associated with

arbitration. A benefit to the arbitration alternative may be that it is less expensive than

traditional litigation. Each party is responsible for 50% of the costs associated with securing

the arbitrator and 100% of their own expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees.

3. 3. 3. Legal effects: If the arbitration alternative is chosen, then any decision made

by the Dallas Movers arbitrator may be binding. Additionally, an arbitration decision may not be appealed

in a court of law. There are many arbitration programs available at multiple locations

throughout the United States. Dallas Movers are authorized to use and recommend JAMS Arbitration

services. Contact information and other information about JAMS can be found at

or get more information about the Dallas Movers arbitration program.

 

 

B. Optional Voluntary Pretrial Non-binding Mediation: In the rare case where the

shipper wishes to file a lawsuit against the Dallas Movers carrier, both parties agree that, in order to avoid

the high costs associated with litigation or arbitration, pretrial mediation will be used. Each

party is responsible for 50% of the costs associated with securing the mediator and 100% of

their own expenses, except as indicated on the terms and conditions of the Dallas Movers Bill of Lading.

Mediation is a process whereby each side may explain their case to a neutral mediator, and

the mediator will assist the parties reach an amicable settlement. Mediation is not binding

on the parties. Neutral Mediators will be secured through JAMS. Both parties must agree

on a neutral Mediator. Costs associated with the mediation must be paid up front and are

waived from being included as a damage claim in any lawsuit against the carrier. This

clause does not apply to collection claims for nonpayment of moving services.
