That's the point of modern mandatory binding arbitration. It removes consumer protections and liability laws.* It removes all laws but the arbitration. To be suckered into one is to lose all protection under the law.*
* Per Hall Street Associates, L.L.C. v. Mattel, Inc. the courts have decided that manifest disregard for the law is not enough to vacate or modify arbitration. Thus the law no longer applies in the face of arbitration. Due to federal supremacy, all state laws are meaningless in the face of mandatory binding arbitration. All state constitutions are meaningless in the face of arbitration. You can and will be bound to infinite civil liability at the whims of an arbiter that does not have to decide based on law or even upon the dispute at hand.
