List of products and services with forced arbitration

2026-02-13T01:56:01Z

Andrewsawesome: /* Products and services */

'''[[Forced arbitration]]''' is the practice in which businesses require their customers to resolve disputes through third-party arbitration instead of a traditional court system, often while revoking the consumer's right to partake in a class-action lawsuit. Businesses will typically add an arbitration clause to their [[Terms of Service]] which outlines how disputes should be handled between them and the consumer. The business decides who the arbiter is, irrespective of biases and conflicts of interest, and when combined with the revocation of the customer's rights to a traditional court system, forced arbitration is exploitative in benefiting the business at the customer's expense.

Adding arbitration clauses in take-it-or-leave-it contracts (e.g. consumer products and services) is a widespread practice across all industries and relations (including employment). Nonetheless, this article attempts to cover as many consumer products and services containing an arbitration clause as possible.

Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court and uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, but arbitrators can award the same damages and remedies that a court can award. These Arbitration Terms are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and are intended to be broadly interpreted. They include, for example:
any disputes regarding the design, performance, features, or functionality of your Google Device;

any disputes regarding your use of your Google Device;

any disputes regarding updates, modifications, or upgrades to your Google Device;

any disputes based on the Google Device warranty or based on device defects whether or not the Google Device is under warranty;

and these Arbitration Terms apply:

whether your dispute is with Google, its subsidiaries, affiliates or parent company, or any suppliers or service providers involved with the Google Device, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and successors; and

regardless of the legal theory on which you base your claim (such as breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, etc.).

For disputes or claims relating to your Google Device, these Arbitration Terms supersede any terms regarding dispute resolution in any other agreement between you and Google and contain the whole agreement between us with respect to disputes or claims relating to your Google Device."

|Phreeli
|Phreeli Company
|You understand and agree that, by accepting this Agreement and using the Services, you waive the right to bring a claim against Phreeli in court or in front of a jury. You also waive the right to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim that either side may have against the other, including class arbitrations or any consolidation of individual arbitrations.

To the maximum extent permitted under law, any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the Services must be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Rules for Arbitration of Consumer-Related Disputes. [...]

Despite any provision of applicable law, the arbitrator will not have power to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with this Agreement. The Subscriber agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to, or connected with the use of Phreeli’s Services or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after that claim of action came to be or it will be forever banned. Unless the Subscriber and Phreeli agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between Subscriber and Phreeli will take place in Sussex County, Delaware.

If any part of this arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful parts should be removed from this Agreement. The removal of the unenforceable or unlawful provision should have no impact whatsoever on the rest of this arbitration clause or the parties’ ability to seek arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis under the arbitration clause. To the extent that any claims move forward on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, those claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. These arbitration provisions will survive the termination of the Subscriber’s relationship with Phreeli.

List of products and services with forced arbitration

2026-02-12T22:10:09Z

Andrewsawesome: /* Products and services */ Added GE, LG, and Vizio

'''[[Forced arbitration]]''' is the practice in which businesses require their customers to resolve disputes through third-party arbitration instead of a traditional court system, often while revoking the consumer's right to partake in a class-action lawsuit. Businesses will typically add an arbitration clause to their [[Terms of Service]] which outlines how disputes should be handled between them and the consumer. The business decides who the arbiter is, irrespective of biases and conflicts of interest, and when combined with the revocation of the customer's rights to a traditional court system, forced arbitration is exploitative in benefiting the business at the customer's expense.

Adding arbitration clauses in take-it-or-leave-it contracts (e.g. consumer products and services) is a widespread practice across all industries and relations (including employment). Nonetheless, this article attempts to cover as many consumer products and services containing an arbitration clause as possible.

Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court and uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, but arbitrators can award the same damages and remedies that a court can award. These Arbitration Terms are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and are intended to be broadly interpreted. They include, for example:
any disputes regarding the design, performance, features, or functionality of your Google Device;

any disputes regarding your use of your Google Device;

any disputes regarding updates, modifications, or upgrades to your Google Device;

any disputes based on the Google Device warranty or based on device defects whether or not the Google Device is under warranty;

and these Arbitration Terms apply:

whether your dispute is with Google, its subsidiaries, affiliates or parent company, or any suppliers or service providers involved with the Google Device, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and successors; and

regardless of the legal theory on which you base your claim (such as breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, etc.).

For disputes or claims relating to your Google Device, these Arbitration Terms supersede any terms regarding dispute resolution in any other agreement between you and Google and contain the whole agreement between us with respect to disputes or claims relating to your Google Device."

If the arbitrator finds this location to be unreasonably burdensome to you, a new location may be selected or arbitration may be conducted over the phone, using video conferencing, or similar. You may be entitled to an in-person hearing near your place of residence. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of these Terms, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.

|Phreeli
|Phreeli Company
|You understand and agree that, by accepting this Agreement and using the Services, you waive the right to bring a claim against Phreeli in court or in front of a jury. You also waive the right to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim that either side may have against the other, including class arbitrations or any consolidation of individual arbitrations.

To the maximum extent permitted under law, any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the Services must be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Rules for Arbitration of Consumer-Related Disputes. [...]

Despite any provision of applicable law, the arbitrator will not have power to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with this Agreement. The Subscriber agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to, or connected with the use of Phreeli’s Services or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after that claim of action came to be or it will be forever banned. Unless the Subscriber and Phreeli agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings between Subscriber and Phreeli will take place in Sussex County, Delaware.

If any part of this arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful parts should be removed from this Agreement. The removal of the unenforceable or unlawful provision should have no impact whatsoever on the rest of this arbitration clause or the parties’ ability to seek arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis under the arbitration clause. To the extent that any claims move forward on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, those claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. These arbitration provisions will survive the termination of the Subscriber’s relationship with Phreeli.
