WHAT IAS IS ABOUT

Inspection Arbitration Services’ Alternate Dispute Resolution System (ADRS) is available to inspectors who subscribe (in advance) to the service to  resolve a wide range of disputes involving Home Inspections through mediation and out-of-court settlement procedures. To serve your dispute resolution needs, IAS  provides a forum for the hearing of disputes through the Internet, in an informal and relaxed venue. IAS takes a common sense approach to dispute resolution, and relies on impartial home inspection industry experts to hear and resolve cases.

Every year, millions of business contracts provide for mediation and arbitration as ways of resolving disputes. Typically, the parties’ agreement to mediate or arbitrate is contained in a future-disputes clause in their contract. In the Member-Inspector’s case, such a clause exists for those who subscribe to IAS. The service is unique in that flat-rates apply, and that no attorneys are involved. It is TRUE alternate dispute resolution, directly between the Plaintiff and Defendant.

IAS’ ADRS is a private, informal process by which all parties agree, in writing, to submit their disputes for mediation/arbitration, whereby an impartial person is authorized to gather and review evidence, and ultimately resolve the controversy by rendering a final award. As an agreement to arbitrate is included in the Inspector’s Contract, it might expedite peaceful settlement without the necessity of going to arbitration at all. Thus, an arbitration clause helps to prevent any loss of good will.
