With binding agreements, arbitration agreements can not be disputed.
When the arbitration is over, the decisions of the arbitrators are final. If you are unhappy with the result, you cannot go to court to try again. The arbitrators' decisions can only be appealed under very limited circumstances—for example, if you can demonstrate that an arbitrator was biased. If you want to appeal an arbitrator's decision you must do so within three months or less in a "motion to vacate."
