Miguel Rodriguez, the general counsel of iHiker, has received a letter from a dissatisfied eiHiker user. The user downloaded the iHiker app to his phone and used the software to compete in a 100-mile endurance race. The user claims that the app stopped working during the race when he was leading the race and that he ended up placing fourth rather than winning the race. An internal investigation shows that the software indeed had a temporary service outage on the day of the race for approximately 10 minutes for selected users. The customer is demanding $100,000, including the $5,000 prize awarded to the first-place winner, and emotional damages in the amount of $95,000 for not winning the race. The company is worried about the bad publicity with a lawsuit but does not want to pay such a large settlement. Discuss the different types of alternative dispute resolution that could be used to avoid litigation. In your role as a paralegal or legal assistant at iHiker, give a recommendation on which form of alternative dispute resolution you think would be best in this situation and explain your recommendation.
