• explaining that an arbitrator’s authority is determined by the parties’ arbitration agreement and definition of the issues submitted to the arbitrator
• noting that in view of the failure to object to the arbitration demand, “the scope of the arbitrator’s authority is determined not only by the [arbitration agreement], but also by the Demand for Arbitration”
• holding a contract “which required arbitration ‘if a 4 dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement[]’ was broad enough to include a claim 5 for commissions based on quasi-contract or estoppel” (emphasis added)
• adopting the premise that an arbitration clause that “calls for any dispute relating to or arising out of the agreement to be submitted to arbitration” to mean that “the parties intend[ed] the clause to reach all aspects of the relationship”
