When a contract provides for arbitration of disputes involving "meaning" or "application" of the contract, is the contract enforceable?

The language of a particular arbitration clause and the nature of the particular dispute over whether the agreement was terminated governs whether the dispute is arbitrable. See Northern Cal. Newspaper Guild v. Sacramento Union, 856 F.2d 1381, 1384 (9th Cir.1988). When an agreement provides for arbitration of disputes involving the "meaning" or "application" of the agreement, the parties are obligated to arbitrate only disputes which "involv[e] construction of the substantive provisions of the contract." Id. at 1383 (internal quotations and citation omitted).
