The contract says if I we have to arbitrate it shall be done in Michigan. However, I thought the State were the contract was executed is where arbitration should be held.

Well, if you sign a contract stating that you  give up your right to sue in the normal jurisidiction, then normally you can't sue in any other place. But, in at least one state, I forget which, that doesn't stand, and you can sue 'where the thing happened, where the thing was sold... (as my coll prof used to say).

It is wonderful that you want to do this. However, we're just a bunch of teachers and parents here (and teens and Indian and UAE engineering students).\n\nYou need to consult a lawyer.

I wouldn't bother taking it to court. There's no way to prove that it happened unless the person is honest enough to say that he did make a verbal contract with you and he didn't follow through with it. I doubt that will happen, though. You really should have made a contract on paper.

In almost all states, that probably constitutes good and sufficient service.  But without knowing your state (and whether you're a party to the action) it is impossible to say for sure.\n\nP.S.  The person above me is wrong.

Read your contract for a clause that explains how you can get our of it.  Also, get advice from an attorney - show him your contract.  Good luck!

The answer to you question depends on what state and city you are in, how the contract was written, and how the money was transferred.\n\nAll of these details are totally beyond the scope of what anyone on Yahoo should be answering.  You need actual legal advice from a lawyer familiar with these matters in your area.

Send a written complaint to your state's insurance commissioner's office.  I agree with you, the provisions of this contract seem vague and contradictory.  As a matter of contract law, the insurer cannot enforce a vague provision in it's own favor; vague provisions are supposed to be interpreted AGAINST the party that drafted the contract.  \n\nIf the insurance commissioner's office finds, after an investigation, that the contract is unjustly vague, it should be able to assist.\n\nI hope this helps.

if it is a significant amount of money, you need a lawyer. my guess would be that failing to initial one spot would be viewed as an oversite and not a reason to void the contract.

Verbal contracts are still contracts in the eyes of the law, but they're tougher to prove, particularly if you already have a written contract that contradicts it.  Taking this to court would hurt you both, so you both have a strong incentive to settle.\n\nMy advice is to see if your city government provides some kind of mediation services.  They can help you to work this out without requiring legal representation for either side.  Before you go into the negotiation, try and separate your feelings from your interests, and try to understand where he's coming from, and you'll stand a much better chance of working this out in a way that's equitable to you both.  Make sure that you consider your "BATNA" and his (BATNA=Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement - i.e. what will each of you do if you can't come to an agreement) and be willing to settle once you reach a point in the negotiation where you've exceeded your BATNA.  Good luck.

Your question is too vague.  I'd suggest you look at a horn book on Contracts - or do a key word search on Westlaw.  Generally, if a judge errs, the remedy is to appeal the matter and see what remedy the appellate court can offer.

You have to enforce the judgment.  Since we don't know what state you're in, it's hard to give you more particular advice, but I'm including a link below that explains how it works in Ilinois because they have excellent legal aid publications there.  Many other states are similar.  After you read the article below, then pick out some key terms like enforce judgment or citation discover assets and key them into Google.com along with the name of your state.  That should lead you to particular information on the procedures that you must follow in your location.  Good luck to you in your efforts!
