and credits for transactions on the this credit card account; Defendant(s) never objected to the

parties agreed that this matter would be referred to the National Arbitration Forum (hereinafter
NAF) to effectuate collection. This matter was referred to the NAF for determination and
disposition; the NAF entered an Arbitration Award against the Defendant(s) in favor of the
Plaintiff in the amount of Eight Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Six Dollars and Forty-Two
Cents ($8,296.42).
II. ISSUE PRESENTED:
Pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §7313 of the Uniform Arbitration Act, should this Honorable
Court confirm the Arbitration Award entered by the (NAF) against the Defendant(s) and in favor
of the Plaintiff.
III. ARGUMENT:
Contracts containing clauses providing for settlement of disputes arising thereunder by
arbitration are valid, and irrevocable except on such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the
revocation of any contract. General State Authority, to Use of Dunzik, v. John McShain, Inc., 25
A.2d 572, 573 (Pa. Super. 1942); 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7303. When parties agree to arbitration in a
clear and unmistakable manner, Courts make every reasonable effort to favor such agreements.
Emmaus Municipal Authority v. Eltz, 204 A.2d 926, 927 (Pa. 1964).
The Federal Uniform Arbitration Act was drafted by the National Conference of
Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and was approved for use by the American Bar
Association in 1955. Pennsylvania codified the Uniform Arbitration Act (hereinafter UAA); 42
Pa.C.S.A. §§7301-7320 in 1982. The purpose of the UAA is to promote resolution of disputes in
a nonjudicial forum while still providing for the Court's role in compelling or staying Arbitration
proceedings when requested. Chester Upland School Dist. v. McLaughlin, 655 A.2d 621, (Pa.
Cmwlth. 1995), appeal granted 665 A.2d 471, 542 Pa. 637, affirmed 675 A.2d 1211.
Further, while a party can waive their right to arbitration, the question of the timeliness of
a demand for arbitration is not one of interpretation of the agreement and not one of the existence
of scope of the arbitration provision; it is thus outside the bounds of judicial review and its
LAW OFPICE3 resolution must be left to arbitration. Highmark Inc. v. Hospital Service Association of
WOLPOFF & ARRAMSON, L.L.P.
AT]YlRN£YSfN]H£FRA CE
OF DE6 COWMON Northeastern Pennsylvania, 785 A.2d 93 (Pa. Super.2001), reargument denied, appeal denied,
/ TRINOLE (TOAD
THIRD FLOOR 797 A.2d 914. Here, the account issued to Defendant by Plaintiff was governed by the
CAMP HILL, PA 1M11
)1)-30"$
aforementioned card member agreement, which contained an Arbitration clause. By virtue of
Defendant's use and maintenance of the subject account, Defendant became bound by all terms
of the account, including the agreement to arbitrate.
The Federal Arbitration Act, which governs the aforementioned Arbitration proceeding
conducted by the NAF, does not require that an agreement to arbitrate be signed; See 9 U.S.C.,
Section 2; see also Bouriez v. Carnegie Mellon, 359 F.3d 292 (parties may be compelled to
arbitrate if common law principles of agency and contract support such an obligation and that a
person may be equitably stopped from challenging an agreement that includes an arbitration
clause when that person embraces the agreement and directly benefits from it). By way of further
response, where the offered silently takes offered benefits, courts will often find an acceptance.
Further, this is especially true if prior dealings between the parties, or trade practices known to
both, create a commercially reasonable expectation by the offeror that silence represents an
acceptance, and in such a case, the offeree is under a duty to notify the offeror if she does not
intend to accept. A written agreement to subject any existing controversy to arbitration or a
provision in a written agreement to submit to arbitration any controversy thereafter arising
between the parties is valid, enforceable and irrevocable, save upon such grounds as exist in law
or in equity relating to the validity, enforceability or revocation of any contract. 42 Pa.C.S.A.
§7303.
As outlined in Plaintiff s Petition, pursuant to the Credit Card Agreement Additional
Terms and Conditions, which Defendant received during the time period in which Plaintiff
issued Defendant the subject open end credit card account, the parties agreed that this matter was
be referred to the National Arbitration Forum for Arbitration in the event of any claim and/or

Pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7314, pertaining to vacating an Arbitration award by the
Court, a motion to vacate shall be made within thirty (30) days after delivery of a copy of the
award to the applicant, except that, if predicated upon corruption, fraud, misconduct or other
improper means, it shall be made within thirty (30) days after such grounds are known or should
been known to the applicant. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7314(b). No such relief has been requested
by Defendant within the applicable time limits in this matter.
Except as otherwise prescribed by general rules, 42 Pa.C.S.A. 7319(2) provides that the

application to a Court under this subchapter shall be made to the Court in the county where the
adverse party resides. 42 Pa.C.S.A. 7319(2). Upon the granting of an Order of Court
confirming, modifying or correcting an award, a judgment or decree shall be entered in
conformity with the Order, and the judgment or decree may be enforced as any other judgment
or decree. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7316. On an application of a party, the Court shall confirm an award,
unless within the time limits imposed under section 7313, grounds are urged for vacating,
modifying or correcting the award, in which case the Court shall proceed as provided in section
7314 (relating to vacating award by Court) or section 7315 (relating to modification or correction
of award by Court. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7313. The meaning of this section is that the Court is to
confirm an Arbitration award if it has become final, i.e., unless, within a thirty (30) day appeal
period, someone has presented the Court with grounds for setting the award aside. Atlantic
Richfield Co. v. Atlantic Independent Union, 537 F. Supp. 371.( E.D.Pa. 1982). Further, the fact
that the relief awarded by the arbitrators was such that it could not or would not be granted by a
Court of law or equity is not a ground for vacating or refusing to confirm the award. 42
Pa.C.S.A. §7314(a)(2); Racicot v. Erie Ins. Exchan¢e, 837 A.2d 496, 500 (Pa. Super. 2003).
CAMP HILL, PA 17044

IV. CONCLUSION
Here, none of the applicable exceptions to avoiding this NAF arbitration award exist.
Both Plaintiff and Defendant(s) entered into an open-ended credit agreement which contained a
valid arbitration clause. When Defendant(s) breached this agreement through nonpayment
Plaintiff exercised its contractual right to arbitrate its claim through the NAF. After receiving
appropriate notice of arbitration, Defendant(s) was/were afforded a full and fair hearing on the
merits. Following the NAF arbitrator's finding in favor of Plaintiff, Defendant(s) had the
opportunity to challenge Plaintiff's award; Defendant(s) did not do so. Therefore, in light of the
foregoing, there is no basis to disturb the arbitrator's finding, and Plaintiff respectfully requests
that this Honorable Court grant the relief requested in Plaintiff's Petition to Confirm its
Arbitration Award.
