The Federal Arbitration Act establishes a strong federal policy favoring arbitration agreements. It governs the enforceability of arbitration clauses in contracts involving commerce, preempting most state laws that would otherwise invalidate or limit such agreements. The FAA is the foundational statute under which mandatory arbitration clauses and class action waivers in consumer platform agreements are evaluated. Courts have generally upheld these clauses under the FAA, though exceptions exist for unconscionability, contracts of adhesion in certain contexts, and specific statutory carve-outs. The FAA does not itself require arbitration; it enforces private agreements to arbitrate.
