How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that, although “[t]he scope of an arbitration agreement is governed by federal substantive law,” equitable estoppel claims are governed by “state contract law”
• holding that proof of purchase and the price term cannot alone form a basis for invoking an arbitration agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement
• holding that even though the arbitration agreement contained a delegation clause, the contract’s limitation to “either you or we” meant there was not “clear and unmistakable evidence that Plaintiffs agreed to arbitrate arbitrability with nonsignatories.”
• stating that “ ‘[m]erely ‘mak[ing] reference to’ an agreement with an arbitration clause is not enough”
• noting that we generally look to state contract law to determine whether third parties can enforce arbitration agreements
• holding defendants could not invoke equitable estoppel because the contract containing an arbitration clause’s relevance was limited to showing that plaintiffs purchased the Toyota at issue
