Mediation and its natural result, negotiation, are processes of finding possible solutions to end the conflict.

Even though the FAA has put in place a policy favoring arbitration, it is first necessary to determine whether the parties actually entered into an agreement to arbitrate disputes. Reasonover subscribed to a seven day trial period with Clearwire. The modem was shipped to her via FedEx, however when the package was attempted to be delivered she was…
