KNOLL, J.

In this civil writ, we are called on to resolve a narrow question of law under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the "FAA"). Specifically, we address whether a party who does not file an action to vacate an arbitral award within three months thereby waives all affirmative defenses to a suit seeking confirmation of the award, including the defense that there is no valid arbitration agreement between the parties.
