Good luck -- straight from their Terms of Service:
> You are expected to read these Terms of Use because your use of our Site and Service constitutes your agreement to the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action waiver described in Sections 17 and 18 below to resolve any disputes with us.
Another damn arbitration clause. I'm so conflicted about these things -- on the one hand, I'm sure they defer many frivolous lawsuits. On the other, they seem to tilt the balance of power overwhelmingly toward the company/business/service. Do any lawyers out there know if there are situations in which these arbitration clauses wouldn't be legal & binding?
- slededit 8y agoThe FTC isn't bound by that and are happy to go after false advertising - neither are the creditors. Running a bankrupt company after knowing it is insolvent is one reason for piercing the corporate veil. They have a duty to minimize the loss in this situation.
- skinnymuch 8y agoHow many times does the FTC go after these sorts of things? I genuinely don’t know. My gut assumption is they won’t be going after this.
- slededit 8y agoI watched some old taped TV documentaries on YouTube and checked out what happened to the companies in the commercials. A surprising number met their end by the FTC or some other government agency.
