Evans v. Building Materials Corporation, No. 16-2427 (Fed. Cir. June 5, 2017)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

In September 2009, Roof N Box, Inc. (RNB) and Build- ing Materials Corp. of America d/b/a GAF -ELK Corp. (GAF) entered into an agreement under which GAF would promote RNB’s “Roof N Box” product, a three-dimensional roofing model, to building -construction contractors affil i- ated with GAF. The agreement contains a provision that requires the parties to submit disputes “arising under” the agreement to arbitration. GAF terminated the agreement after about a year, and the validity of that termination is not at issue.
