MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT(Required)

I have read and agree to tthe following:

This is an Agreement to mediate and arbitrate all unresolved disputes arising from the educational, recreational, special education school, and residential services between the undersigned person and/or their legal guardian and Wayfinder Family Services.

In the event of any unresolved dispute, claim or controversy by the person and/or their legal guardian against Wayfinder Family Services, its directors, officers, employees or agents, the student and/or their legal guardian agrees to submit such unresolved dispute, claim or controversy, including but not limited to all claims for breach of contract and civil torts, to non-binding mediation before a neutral independent third-party mediator and, if that process does not result in full resolution of the dispute, to final and binding arbitration, including, but not limited to, claims for breach of contract and civil torts.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single-arbitrator s elected either by mutual agreement of the person and/or their legal guardian and the Wayfinder Family Services or, if they cannot agree, from an odd-numbered list of experienced arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall strike one arbitrator from the list alternately until one arbitrator remains.

The arbitrator shall have all powers conferred by law and a judgment may be entered on the award by a court of law having jurisdiction. The award and judgment shall be in writing and binding and final on both parties.

Each party shall have the right to conduct reasonable discovery, as determined by the arbitrator and as provided in
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.5(a).

The parties agree to submit any unresolved dispute or unresolved controversy arising out of or relating to the terms of the Agreement to mediation, and if that process does not result in full resolution of the dispute to final and
binding arbitration by a single neutral arbitrator.

Wayfinder Family Services agrees to pay for 75% of the costs of the mediation and arbitration proceedings and the fees of the arbitrator. The remaining 25% of the costs and fees of the mediation and arbitration will be paid by the person and/or t heir legal guardian. Recognizing that parties involved in any such dispute may have limited resources, the parties agree to endeavor in good faith to identify a mediator and an arbitrator whose fees and costs are reasonable and affordable in light of that fact.

This agreement shall continue during the period of service delivery and thereafter regarding any related disputes. This agreement may only be modified for the Wayfinder Family Services by a written agreement signed by the President of the Wayfinder Family Services.

The person and/or their legal guardian understand that by signing this Agreement, he/she gives up his/her right to a civil trial and his/her right to a trial by jury.

If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found null, void, or inoperative, for any reason, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
