Facts

P worked as a sales associate at P's store in Daly City, California from June 26, 2010, through March 2012, and then again from late August 2013 through July 8, 2014. P alleges that she was terminated in response to her need for a leave of absence related to her pregnancy and other medical and health conditions. On August 13, 2013, P submitted an application that included an agreement to arbitrate any future employment-related disputes with D. P's consent to the arbitration provision was a condition for her application to be considered. P extended an offer of employment on August 26, 2013, and sent her an email with a link to her new hire packet. P used D's website to log in and complete that paperwork, which included her agreement to abide by D's Employee Dispute Resolution Plan. Under the agreement, all claims likely to be asserted by P were to be submitted to arbitration. The claims likely to be asserted by D could be brought in court. All claims were to be filed in Indiana and P was required to pay half of the costs. P was eventually terminated. P sued D alleging she was terminated because of her pregnancy. D moved to compel arbitration.
