Click to open document 03/31/2022 Certified Direct Conflict DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED FSC-OPINION: We hold that, because Airbnb's Terms of Service incorporate by reference the AAA Rules that expressly delegate arbitrability determinations to an arbitrator, the agreement clearly and unmistakably evidences the parties' intent to empower an arbitrator, rather than a court, to resolve questions of arbitrability. Accordingly, we quash the Second District's decision in Natt and approve the Fifth District's decision in Reunion and the Third District's decision in Glasswall to the extent they are consistent with this opinion. The case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered.
