This document is a legal judgment from the California Court of Appeal addressing Tesla Motors, Inc.'s appeal against a trial court's denial to compel arbitration with its former employee, Talia Shayla Alexis Wise. The dispute centers on the enforceability of an arbitration provision within Wise's Offer Letter, read in conjunction with her Non-Disclosure and Inventions Assignment Agreement (NDIAA). The trial court had deemed certain NDIAA terms unconscionable and found them to permeate the arbitration agreement, preventing its enforcement. The appellate court, while assuming the unconscionability of the NDIAA terms, concluded that these terms were severable because they were collateral to the main purpose of the arbitration agreement and did not directly affect Wise's claims or the arbitration process itself. Consequently, the appellate court reversed the trial court's order, directing that the arbitration agreement be enforced with the unconscionable NDIAA provisions severed.
