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

  • emphasizing that courts should hesitate “to read unwritten terms into agreements containing [integration clauses]”
  • noting that the breadth of the agreement is secondary to proving the existence of the agreement and identifying the protagonists
  • signing an arbitration agreement as agent for a disclosed principal is not sufficient to bind the agent to arbitrate claims against him personally
  • applying de novo review to district court's ruling on scope of arbitration agreement
  • finding the defendant-employee not covered by the arbitration agreement in part because “we are unable to discern any indication in the [contract] that the parties meant to make their respective agents or employees third-party beneficiaries”
