Payment Responsibility: The agreement to render mediation or arbitration services is between JRJ Mediation and the attorney of each participating party. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the attorney for a party to pay the mediation fee by the date due. It is not the responsibility of JRJ Mediation to obtain payment from individual clients or businesses of the attorneys who have agreed to retain the services of JRJ Mediation.
Timing of Payment: Each party’s share of the total amount due must be received 14 days before the mediation. Written confirmation of the fee allocation among the parties and the agreement to pay must be received prior to final confirmation of the scheduled time.
JRJ Mediation reserves the right to offer the proposed dates and times to others if payment is not received 14 days in advance.
Cancellation Policy: If a party cancels or postpones a mediation within 10 days of the scheduled mediation date, the party requesting the cancellation or postponement is responsible for the total fee for the mediation (not just that party’s share), unless the mediation is rescheduled for a later date.
