@saytar it does mention Arbitration and American Association of Arbitration and JAMS

Thank you so much for the information I am truly grateful for all the help. @texasrocker Just to clarify do I ask for approval to conduct discovery at the same time as I submit my answer? Also is there a formal way I need to request that approval. (just do not want to mess up)
