What?! By using this site I've agreed to be bound by an arbitration agreement, is that right? There's no way that should hold up legally. Clicking around the web shouldn't be equivalent to signing a bunch of legal contracts.
- Semaphor 6y ago> There's no way that should hold up legally. I guess it depends on your jurisdiction? It’s (actually that whole document) meaningless in the EU. Disclaimer: IANAL and that’s just my layperson’s understanding of the law regulating contracts here.

(In general, under US law. I am a lawyer but this post isn't legal advice). The term for that sort contract is "browsewrap" and US courts have consistently declined to enforce them.
