Mutual Assent to Unexecuted Arbitration Addendum Lacking in Electronic Signature Case
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA litigant sought to compel arbitration based on an agreement that required mutual assent to a preceding contractual addendum, which contained the arbitration clause, and presented evidence of the other party's assent through an electronically signed document. The court determined that the electronically signed document did not demonstrate mutual assent to the arbitration addendum because the electronic signature was affixed to the primary agreement itself, not the referenced addendum, meaning there was no clear indication that the signing party intended to be bound by the arbitration provision contained in the separate, unexecuted addendum, thus precluding enforcement of the arbitration requirement.
