Input (English): arbitration before AAA was barred because the plaintiffs had executed an arbitration agreement stating that all controversies would be determined by arbitration before the NASD, the NYSE, the AMEX, or any recognized arbitration facility provided by any exchange. Id. at 1119. Thus, the defendants argued that AAA was not a proper forum since AAA was not named as a forum in the arbitration agreement. Id. This Court held that the AMEX Window operates as a default provision in the absence of a specific agreement between the parties. Id. at 1120. Thus, this Court concluded that the AMEX Window was superseded by the arbitration agreement and that under the arbitration agreement, AAA was not an available arbitration forum. Id.
