MEMORANDUM
Even if Robinson could be construed under Britton v. Co-op Banking Group, 4 F.3d 742, 745 (9th Cir.1993), to be a third-party beneficiary of the Hillsboro-Lakeside purchase agreement, that agreement’s arbitration clause does not encompass the dispute at issue. See Chiron Corp. v. Ortho Diagnostic Systems, Inc., 207 F.3d 1126, 1130 (9th Cir.2000). Lakeside’s claims for breach of implied warranty and breach of warranty against Robinson arise under the limited warranty, a separate document that neither incorporates the purchase agreement nor is incorporated by it. The agreement to arbitrate disputes with respect to the purchase agreement does not govern disputes with respect to the warranty or to Lakeside’s negligence claims. Because all of Lakeside’s claims are outside the scope of the arbitration clause, the district court properly denied Robinson’s motion to compel arbitration.
AFFIRMED.
