Questão jurídica principal
Whether Z. was bound by the arbitration clause in the subcontract despite not signing it.
Decisão extraída
No. The guarantee did not make Z. a party to the subcontract arbitration clause, nor did the circumstances justify extending the clause to it.
Fundamentação extraída
A guarantor or surety is not automatically bound by the principal contract’s arbitration clause. No cumulative debt assumption, no valid incorporation by reference, and no sufficient conduct showing consent to arbitrate were established.
