The UIIA includes a Binding Arbitration Process for arbitration of claims relating to per diem/use charges and Maintenance and Repair. The purpose of the program is to provide an alternative method for resolving issues involving these types of invoices after all dispute resolution processes under the UIIA/EP Addenda have been exhausted.
Claims submitted under the Binding Arbitration Process must meet the criteria outlined under the Binding Arbitration Guidelines identified in Exhibit D in the UIIA and the claim must have occurred on or after August 1, 2008.
