9 U.S.C. § 202 — Agreement or award falling under the Convention
submitted 56 years ago by Pub. L. 91-368 to r/title-9-ARBITRATION · 121 words · no verdicts yet
This law says which arbitration deals count under an international convention. It covers commercial arbitration agreements and awards, including those described in section 2 of this title. Deals entirely between U.S. citizens only count if they involve something foreign.
An arbitration agreement or arbitral award arising out of a legal relationship, whether contractual or not, which is considered as commercial, including a transaction, contract, or agreement described in section 2 of this title, falls under the Convention. An agreement or award arising out of such a relationship which is entirely between citizens of the United States shall be deemed not to fall under the Convention unless that relationship involves property located abroad, envisages performance or enforcement abroad, or has some other reasonable relation with one or more foreign states. For the purpose of this section a corporation is a citizen of the United States if it is incorporated or has its principal place of business in the United States.
