Without the clause, arbitration is still available if it is agreed by both parties.
In practice the arbiters that do not side with the companies are not chosen again in the future.
- aragot 12y agoBias, what about bias? I've always wondered if my software license should contain a thrid-party arbitration, and I've always chosen not to, because I have no control on the arbitration's neutrality. They could charge customers a fee for settling "in favor of", or settle based on their membership time or random dice, and it would still be enforceable in court. Note that my business is located in France so a US arbitrator could have a national preference for arbitraging in favor of a US citizen, and there would be nothing illegal in that.
