About this template
What is this template?
This is a final arbitral award issued by a single arbitrator rather than a panel. It contains a specific mechanism for offsetting cross-claims into a single net payment and includes an explicit timeframe and location for physical payment that is not typically found in standard commercial contracts.
When should you use it?
Use this template when an arbitration has concluded and the arbitrator must issue a binding decision on cross-demands between parties. Use a Settlement Agreement instead if the parties reach a voluntary compromise before the arbitrator issues a ruling.
What's inside
