Hennis, 776 So. 2d 105, 107 (Ala. 2000), a case with some factual similarities to Ard, but in which this Court stated: "However, the manufacturer's unilateral enclosure of an arbitration provision in a homeowner's manual is -- without more -- insufficient as a matter of law to show that the buyer assented to all the contents therein.
