- bencollier49 13y agoAre there such things as statutory rights in the US? In the UK, they wouldn't be able to force a waiver of a statutory right.
- babuskov 13y agoNo, actually, that never holds in court.
- crag 13y agoThese types of "agreements" are never intended to be heard in court. They're to scare the average user. Sort of like what patent trolls do (try) to victims who choose to fight. This is how low down this company is. At the level of patent trolls. Disgusting.
- CamperBob2 13y agoUnfortunately, thanks to a recent SCOTUS decision, it probably will.
- personalcompute 13y agoWhich case was this?
- CamperBob2 13y agoAT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, among other recent rulings. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/04/scotus-rules-att-can-force-arbitration-block-class-action-suits/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/04/scotus-rules-att-... http://blogs.reuters.com/alison-frankel/2013/08/22/how-scotuss-amex-ruling-may-help-businesses-evade-class-actions/ http://blogs.reuters.com/alison-frankel/2013/08/22/how-scotu... This is why they can require you to waive your rights to participate in a class action. If you look at the ToS for every company you do business with, you'll probably find that several of them were revised almost immediately to take advantage of the AT&T decision. (PayPal comes to mind.) IANAL but my understanding is that class action lawsuits are basically done at this point.
- CamperBob2 13y agoIt does now. See AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion.
- joonix 13y agoYeah, that doesn't mean a thing.
