Can an arbitration clause be interpreted to require arbitration of the dispute?

"'[T]he burden is on "the party opposing arbitration to demonstrate that an arbitration clause cannot be interpreted to require arbitration of the dispute."' [Citation.] In other words, 'an order to arbitrate a particular grievance should not be denied unless it may be said with positive assurance that the arbitration clause is not susceptible of an interpretation that covers the asserted dispute.' [Citation.]" (Titolo v. Cano (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 310, 316-317.)

"'When a trial court's interpretation of a written agreement is appealed and no conflicting extrinsic evidence was admitted, the interpretation of the contract is a question of law which we review de novo.
