United States Fourth Circuit

District court's refusal to compel arbitration pursuant to a provision in the parties' franchise agreement is vacated and remanded, where the district court erred in concluding that: 1) the class action waiver was an unconscionable contract provision; and 2) the other two challenged provisions regarding splitting arbitration fees, and a one-year limitations period, also rendered the arbitration clause unconscionable.
