    1) In February 1992, Chilewich's agent signed a contract with a Soviet organization that included an arbitration clause requiring disputes to be resolved in arbitration in Russia. 2) Over subsequent communications and exchanges, Ilianto and Chilewich disputed whether the arbitration clause was part of their agreement. 3) The court held that a contract was formed between Ilianto and Chilewich and that Ilianto failed to timely object to the incorporation of the arbitration clause, so Ilianto was bound by the arbitration provision in the contract.
