7.4 Consider ... International Ambassador
7.4 Consider ... International Ambassador Programs, Inc., is a Washington-based nonprofit organi- zation that arranges tours and informa- tional visits in foreign countries, including Russia. Archpexpo, once a Soviet state enterprise and now a Russian limited partnership, facilitates and expedites tours such as those sponsored by Am- bassador to Russia and the other former Soviet republics Archpexpo and Ambassador entered into several agreements relating to tours. An April 1989 agreement provided that all disputes and differences without recourse to courts of law shall be referred to the arbitration tribunal with the USSR Trade and Industry Chamber for resolution, such resolution acknowledged as final by the parties." A dispute arose between the parties when Archpexpo alleged that it had no been paid certain fees due, and Ambassa. dor claimed it was entitled to an offset of $20,000 for refunds it had to give to travel ers who were dissatisfied with Archpexpo's service. Archpexpo filed for arbitration, and Ambassador brought suit in federal district court in the United States. Does the federal district court have jurisdiction? Must Am- bassador submit to arbitration in Russia? What if Ambassador had more than one contract with Archpexpo and some of the contracts contained the arbitration clause and some did not? Would Ambassador then be required to submit to arbitration? [Inter national Ambassador Programs, Inc. vArch- pexpo, 68 F.3d 337 (9th Cir. 1995)
