2012(We will refer to “the consulting agreement” in the singular because the consulting agreements were “identical in their germane provisions.” Id. at 894 .) The first feature was the wording of the arbitration clause itself.

2012The arbitration clause said: “ ‘If any dispute, controversy or claim arises in connection with the performance or breach of this agreement and cannot be resolved by facilitated negotiations (or the parties agree to waive that process) then such dispute, controversy or claim shall be settled by arbitration ***.’ ” (Emphasis added.) Id. at 911 .
