Rule 3 - Alteration of Rules by Agreement of the Parties and Consent of the Arbitrator

The parties to an Arbitration may agree, with the consent of the Arbitrator, to modify any of these Rules or to adopt additional rules governing the Arbitration, provided that no modification of or addition to these Rules may be inconsistent with any provision of the Act, including without limitation the location of the seat of the Arbitration in 10 Del. C. § 5807(a), the time periods set forth in 10 Del. C. §§ 5806(d), 5808(b), 5808(c) or 5809(b), and the reduction of the Arbitrator's compensation in the event of an untimely award set forth in 10 Del. C. § 5806(b). By way of example and without limiting the scope of permissible amendments to these Rules, the parties may agree, with the consent of the Arbitrator, to proceed on a more accelerated schedule than these Rules contemplate and may agree to dispense with or limit any process for gathering evidence before the Arbitration Hearing. Any such modification of or addition to these Rules shall be in writing and may appear in the Arbitration Agreement.
