Member Arbitration
If you are an NFA Member and your dispute involves another NFA Member, you are probably required to file your claim at NFA. If you are an NFA Associate or if your claim is against an NFA Associate, you are not required to file your claim at NFA unless there is a contract providing for NFA arbitration.
If you are approaching the two-year time limit for filing a Claim, you probably should submit a Notice of Intent to Arbitrate. A Notice of Intent does not obligate you to file a Claim, however, it does temporarily toll (or stop) the two-year time limit to provide you with a little extra time to file your Claim. NFA must receive the Notice within the two-year time limitation period in order to extend the time period allowed to file a Claim.
Before you file a claim, carefully read NFA's Member Arbitration Rules and Member arbitration publications to ensure you understand the arbitration process and your responsibilities as a party.
