Arbitrator’s Authority Limited Sample Clauses

The "Arbitrator’s Authority Limited" clause defines and restricts the powers that an arbitrator has when resolving disputes under a contract. Typically, this clause specifies that the arbitrator cannot award remedies or make decisions beyond what is expressly permitted by the agreement, such as punitive damages or changes to the contract terms. By setting clear boundaries on the arbitrator’s authority, the clause ensures that the dispute resolution process remains within the scope intended by the parties and prevents unexpected or excessive outcomes.
