The cancellation policy exists because time reserved and later cancelled generally cannot be replaced. In all cases involving non-refundable time, the party causing the continuance or cancellation is responsible for the fees of all parties. • A retainer for anticipated preparation and follow-up time will be billed to the parties. Any unused portion will be refunded. • All fees are due and payable upon receipt of invoice and payment must be received in advance of hearing. JAMS reserves the right to cancel your hearing if fees are not paid by all parties by the applicable cancellation date and JAMS confirms the cancellation in writing. • Receipt of payment for all fees is required prior to service of an arbitration award that the Arbitrator has rendered. • For arbitrations arising out of employer -promulgated plans, the only fee that an employee may be required to pay is the $400 per party fee for a one -day case- The employer must bear the employee's share of any increased CMF. Any questions or disagreements about whether a matter arises out of an employer -promulgated plan or an individually negotiated agreement or contract will be determined by JAMS, whose determination shall be final. • For arbitrations arising out of pre -dispute arbitration clauses between companies and individual consumers, JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre -Dispute Clauses, Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness applies. In those cases, when a consumer (as defined by those Minimum Standards) initiates arbitration against the company, the only fee required to be paid by the consumer is $250. All other fees must be paid by the company. JAMS agreement to render services is with the attorney, the party and/or other representatives of the party.
