We've completed reediting of this post after a thorough interaction with Business Consumer Alliance. They claim they offer free arbitration, but then come all the catches.
1. They will only perform 3 arbitrations you bring against deadbeat clients. If only three clients don't pay you in a year, your prices are too low.
2. They refuse to allow the claimant to petition for punitive and exemplary damages for bad faith negotiation as the law unrebuttably allows.
3. If a client's dog bites you while there, they refuse to allow you to arbitrate personal injuries arising from a contract.
4. They appear to allow your deadbeat contract breaching non paying clients to bring an arbitration against you without them having to pay or be a member.
5. They insist you use their arbitration clause and they do not want you to modify it. Of the Fortune 500 major corporations that have arbitration clauses that I have been able to find, every single one has a provision that states any arbitration forum rule that contradicts their corporation's arbitration provision rule, the corporation rule shall govern.
6. They purport to have a California compliant home improvement contract for their contractor members to use, but they refuse to show it to prospective members.
Does anyone know someone who is a member?
