Best used for

Short-form commercial contracts, purchase orders, standard-form consumer contracts, confidentiality agreements, and any agreement where the parties want institutional arbitration without a lengthy clause - or where counterparties resist complex multi-tier provisions.

Drafting Notes & Guidance

This is the shortest possible valid UNIONE™ arbitration clause - three elements required to constitute a valid arbitration agreement: (1) reference to UNIONE™ Rules, (2) seat, (3) language. Everything else - procedure, tribunal size, timeline - defaults to the UNIONE™ Rules as applicable. If the parties cannot agree on seat or language in the contract, UNIONE™ will determine them at the time of filing. Even under the Ultra-Light Clause, the full ERR and Enforceability Certificate apply to every award.
