>The real issue is that these arbitration clauses can be put in a non-negotiable, all-or-nothing contract by the more powerful and savvy party to the determent of the weaker one. In this case, given the difference in power between the two entities, I think the issue is still consent not being valid. Arbitration is one bad thing to stick in, but there are many other clauses that a person would normally not agree to but who are coerced by the situation to agree to. To me the issue is still a matter of given consent when in a coercive interaction where the parties involved has significant power differences.
