Airbnb, Inc. vs. Rice
Docket Number: 81346
Carson City - 10:00 am - Full Court
This case arises out of a shooting that occurred at a residence in Las Vegas, Nevada, booked through appellant Airbnb Inc.’s website. Bryan Lovett and Raheem Rice were shot while en route to a party held at the residence. Raheem Rice died.
ISSUES:
Respondent Bryan Lovett, and respondents Eric Rice and Jefferson Temple, as special administrator of the estate of Raheem Rice (collectively, Rice), sued Airbnb and other defendants for negligence. Before filing an answer, Airbnb moved to compel arbitration pursuant to its website’s Terms of Service (TOS), arguing that the parties were bound to arbitration under the TOS’s arbitration clause because both Raheem Rice and Eric Rice accepted the TOS when creating Airbnb accounts. The district court denied the motion as to all plaintiffs. Airbnb appeals the denial as to Eric Rice and Raheem Rice’s estate.
