P1557 Although the inequality of bargaining power between a prospective employer and prospective employee made an arbitration clause in an employment agreement adhesive, its adhesive nature was limited because the arbitration provision was conspicuous, so it was not procedurally unconscionable; although it began with the phrase "I agree," it was not one-sided since a court would undoubtedly construe it as imposing a mutual obligation to arbitrate; so the arbitration agreement was enforceable.CitationROMAN v SUPERIOR COURT (I Agree) 172 CA4 1462 [See: CCP 1281, 1281.2; CivC 1670.5; Armendariz v Foundation 24 C4 83, T/AT 9/00; Gentry v Superior Court 42 C4 443, P/AT 11/07; Discover Bank v Superior Court 36 C4 148, P/AT 7/05]
