In commercial litigation, arbitration clauses are not severable if the dispute's sole cause of action seeks to rescind the entire contract. An arbitration agreement is a provision in a contract that stipulates that any disputes arising from the contract will be resolved through arbitration.Attacking the validity of a contract does not remove a party from the scope of an arbitration provision contained therein. Mediation agreements are enforceable. A mediated agreement allows you and the other person or party to reach flexible solutions to your dispute. A mandatory arbitration clause in a partnership agreement is generally enforceable, but there are some exceptions.
