Contractor Arbitration - The Home Improvement Contractor Law provides homeowners with the right to
initiate an arbitration action (as an alternative to court action) if they have a dispute with a contractor. The same
right is not automatically afforded to a contractor, however. The contractor would have to resolve any dispute
he/she has with a homeowner in court unless both parties agree to the optional clause provided below. This
clause would give the contractor the same right to arbitration as is afforded to the homeowner by the Home
Improvement Contractor Law.
The contractor and the homeowner hereby mutually agree in advance that in the event the contractor has a
dispute concerning this contract, the contractor may submit the dispute to a private arbitration firm which has
been approved by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation and the
consumer shall be required to submit to such arbitration as provided In Massachusetts General Laws, chapter
142A.
