    “Binding arbitration” = “we’re taking away your right to sue us”

    Not something they should be allowed to do, just because being sued for illegal activities is expensive.

      Some courts have held arbitration agreements unenforceable, typically because it’s a lopsided agreement.

      Binding arbitration tends to fail hilariously when it happens frequently enough to start costing more than just being sued which is weirdly common.

      Just got to get enough people to force them into arbitration and just drain their money.

        I don’t know about this agreement, but of the ones I read: They also have a mass arbitration clause, where if a threshold of people arbitrate you automatically get grouped into a class so the company doesn’t have to pay nearly as much.
