Alternative Dispute Resolution

  • Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation. You can reach RINO Insurance Group’s support department at christiana.hill@allstate.com. The parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement (a “Claim”) directly through consultation with the RINO Insurance Group support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating an arbitration.

  • Binding Arbitration:  If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve Claims. A Claim will be settled by individual (not class or class-wide) binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with the then current Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules, including any expedited procedures. A demand that a Claim be submitted to arbitration may be made before the initiation of any legal proceeding or within ninety (90) days following the service of a complaint, third-party complaint, cross-claim or counterclaim and if a party in a pending legal proceeding demands a Claim to be submitted to arbitration, the party initiating the action will immediately dismiss the legal proceeding and file the claim in arbitration. Arbitration hearings will be held in Jefferson County, Colorado. A single arbitrator will be appointed by the AAA and shall be a practicing attorney or retired judge having experience with and knowledge of online commerce law. The arbitrator will follow the law and will give effect to any applicable statutes of limitation. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award. The parties agree and acknowledge that this agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code) shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause in this Agreement.
