Question for Arbitration

"Whether John Adam is obligated to pay the outstanding balance of $9,000 to BigTechInSF, Inc. for services rendered."

This is the central legal question that the arbitrator will decide. It clearly identifies the parties, the amount, and the nature of the dispute.

Claimant's Argument

Respondent John Adam has been a user of BigTechInSF since January 1, 2016. For the past 9 months his credit card has been rejected by our billing system. Each time John has written an email requesting an extension. Please see attached our correspondence.

Each month we granted him an extension to pay as he had years of successful payment. He now owes us $9,000 USD and is refusing to pay. We have also provided evidence of the active usage of the account during the 9 month period.

Accordingly, we demand that he pays us all amounts owed.

Key Elements of This Argument:

  • Relationship history: Establishes long-term business relationship (since 2016)
  • Timeline: Clearly states the 9-month period of non-payment
  • Good faith efforts: Shows extensions were granted based on past payment history
  • Evidence references: Mentions correspondence and usage evidence
  • Clear demand: States exactly what remedy is sought
