                    Appeal from the United States District Court

        Jo Ellen Peters and Ken Lane appeal the district court’s order compelling

arbitration of their claims against Amazon Services LLC (“Amazon”). We have

            The Honorable Andre M. Davis, United States Circuit Judge for the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sitting by designation.
jurisdiction under 9 U.S.C. § 16(a)(3). We review de novo the district court’s

order compelling arbitration. Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Mantor, 417 F.3d 1060,

1063 (9th Cir. 2005).

      The district court did not err in concluding that Lane and Peters agreed to

arbitrate their disputes with Amazon. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”)

provides that arbitration agreements “shall be valid, irrevocable, and enforceable,”

9 U.S.C. § 2, and the FAA mandates that courts compel arbitration as to issues

encompassed by valid arbitration agreements, Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. v. Byrd,

470 U.S. 213, 218 (1985). Lane and Peters agreed to Amazon’s Business

Solutions Agreement (“BSA”), which contains an unambiguous agreement to

arbitrate “[a]ny dispute . . . or claim relating in any way” to the BSA or use of

Amazon’s services. The BSA, as “a contract evidencing a transaction involving

commerce,” is subject to the FAA and must be enforced. See 9 U.S.C. § 2.

      Lane and Peters counter that Amazon’s Marketplace Participation

Agreement (“MPA”), which contains a forum selection clause, mandates litigation,

not arbitration. They argue that the MPA, as one of Amazon’s “Program Policies,”

takes precedence over the BSA and makes the arbitration clause unenforceable.

This argument fails because the MPA falls within the BSA’s definition of a “Seller

                                          2
Agreement,” and therefore does not constitute one of Amazon’s separately defined

“Program Policies.”

      Lane also argues that, regardless of what happens to Peters or the purported

class, his individual claims are governed exclusively by the MPA because they

arise out of an account formed prior to the BSA’s existence. However, Lane did

sign the BSA, which represents the parties’ “entire agreement” and supersedes all

prior agreements, and the BSA’s broad arbitration clause covers “[a]ny dispute . . .

or claim” and is not limited to prospective disagreements.

      Accordingly, the district court did not err when it compelled arbitration.

      AFFIRMED.
