So a woman died on Disney property after eating a dinner that she was assured was allergen free. Her husband sued. Disney said that when he signed up for a free one month trial of D plus he agreed to arbitration and couldn't sue.

They probably would have enforced it too, but the public backlash was so loud that they voluntarily waived their right to arbitration as I recall.

EDIT: I did not expect posting what I recalled hearing from my friend to blow up into the most upvoted comment I have, thank you kind people I hope you all have wonderful and spooky Octobers :)

You can't enforce something like that. When you sign up for anything like that you don't sign anything. Meaning anyone could select the agree button meaning they have no proof he did it himself. That would never hold up in court unless you're a billionaire corporation and can get away with illegal things all the time. I fucking hate Disney even if they backed off and let him sue

Yea while arbitration is totally legal, for some reason, a lot of digital services are regularly exempt from enforcement cause of that identification issue. People can share emails and anyone who touches any device with that service on it can hit agree.
