684.07  Freedom of parties to fix rules for arbitration.--

(1)  The parties may at any time agree in writing to conduct the arbitration in accordance with such rules as they may select, including any system of rules incorporated by reference in the written undertaking to arbitrate. In determining those rules, the parties may elect to exclude from the arbitration one or more provisions of this part. The provisions of this part shall not apply except to the extent consistent with and subject to the rules adopted by the parties. As used in this part, the term "written undertaking to arbitrate" includes any system of rules selected by the parties.

(2)  If any provision of this part or of the written undertaking to arbitrate is not complied with, any party who nevertheless proceeds with the arbitration without stating her or his objection without undue delay or, if a time limit is provided for stating such objection, within such time period may be deemed to have waived or be estopped from any right to object.
