What this arbitration appendix does

The Uniform Arbitration Statement of Facts Appendix is a supporting record that organizes the factual material parties use in an arbitration matter. It is not a substitute for the arbitration agreement, tribunal rules, legal advice, or required exhibits. With signNow, a sender uploads the appendix, reviews or adds fillable fields, assigns participants, and routes the document for electronic signatures. Completed copies can be downloaded with the audit trail. ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are satisfied; governing arbitration rules and state law still control the proceeding.

Who uses this arbitration appendix

Legal services

Legal teams use the appendix to organize the factual record supporting an arbitration matter, identify disputed events, and circulate the document for review and signatures. The workflow helps counsel preserve a complete signed version and its audit trail without treating signNow as the source of legal conclusions.

Arbitration parties

Businesses and parties involved in arbitration use the appendix to capture agreed or disputed facts alongside the underlying agreement. Each signer can review the same controlled document, while administrators preserve the final PDF and completion history for later case preparation.

Business types using the appendix

The appendix is most useful when several parties must review the same factual record before an arbitration filing, hearing, or settlement discussion.

  • Solo arbitration practitioners can prepare a factual appendix, obtain client or opposing-party signatures, and preserve the completed record without coordinating paper copies.
  • Small legal departments can reuse an approved appendix template, delegate sending, and track participant completion while maintaining a separate legal review process.
  • Enterprise dispute teams can connect signNow with controlled storage and identity policies when multiple matters require consistent routing, audit trails, and access management.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls

  • Personal names, addresses, claims, and supporting facts may be exposed when the completed appendix is shared beyond authorized arbitration participants.
  • A signer may complete the appendix without reviewing required disclosures or demonstrating informed consent to electronic records.
  • Incorrect signer permissions can let one participant alter, download, or distribute the appendix outside the approved case team.
  • Using an outdated appendix version can create conflicting factual records and weaken the reliability of later arbitration submissions.

Best practices for this appendix

Accuracy, controlled routing, informed consent, and evidence preservation matter more than speed when preparing a factual arbitration appendix.

Review facts before routing

Confirm the appendix contains the correct matter name, participant identities, factual chronology, and referenced exhibits before adding signature fields. A legal reviewer should resolve substantive discrepancies before the document is routed, because signNow records execution but does not validate the truth of the statements.

Control signer roles and versions

Use role-based signer assignments and a defined signing order when the appendix requires sequential review. Send each participant only the version approved for that matter, and restrict template editing to authorized administrators so earlier factual language cannot be replaced accidentally.

Document electronic consent

Capture electronic consent before signing when the transaction is consumer-facing. Under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), provide required disclosures and confirm the signer can access electronic records; retain evidence that the signer intended to execute the appendix electronically.

Preserve the signed evidence

Download the completed appendix and audit trail after all required signatures. Store both files with the arbitration matter under an access policy that protects personal information and preserves the record in a reproducible format.

Processing the arbitration appendix

No fixed statutory turnaround period is provided for this appendix; the parties should follow their arbitration agreement, case schedule, and tribunal instructions.

01

Prepare the document

Confirm the appendix version, factual entries, exhibits, and signer fields before sending.
02

Deliver to signers

Send the controlled PDF to each participant using the selected signing order.
03

04

Archive the record

Legal standing of the signed appendix

A signed Uniform Arbitration Statement of Facts Appendix may support an evidentiary record when the parties show intent, consent, attribution, and reliable retention under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable UETA or New York ESRA rules. Electronic records do not replace tribunal requirements, notarization, wills, court filings, or excluded family-law documents.

The Enterprise plan adds advanced signer authentication, formula fields, and conditional fields. Use it when the appendix workflow requires stronger identity controls or conditional routing. The verified annual price is $30 per user monthly, billed annually under the listed pricing.

signNow states that ESIGN and UETA compliance supports electronic signatures in U.S. transactions. The parties must still demonstrate intent, consent, attribution, and record retention. Review the arbitration agreement and governing state law before relying on the signed appendix.
