Is Jade correct that they are required to arbitrate their dispute?

A) Yes, Jade demanded in writing that they arbitrate their dispute.
B) Yes, but only because Jade's written demand had a thirty day deadline.
C) No, a party is never required to arbitrate.
D) No, arbitration is voluntary and Coleman never signed an agreement to arbitrate their disputes.
E) No, a party cannot enter a contract that requires them to arbitrate instead of filing a lawsuit.

Lawsuit

A legal action brought before a court by an individual or group against another party.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Arbitration is a process that parties must agree to, usually through a contract. Since Coleman and Jade have no written contract that includes an arbitration agreement, Coleman is not obligated to arbitrate the dispute despite Jade's request.
