I dunno, seems to me Ted found some VERY effective ways of communicating his own customer service needs... :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18760491 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 18:55:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18757497 swhx7 : It is becoming more prevalent. For example, it's practically impossible to get a credit card now without forced arbitration replacing access to the courts.

It seems inevitable that once businesses start catching on to this concept, every individual will have to give up access to the courts as a condition of every consumer contract. You can always decline the contracts, but you will have to end up living like a primitive hermit (like Kaczynski in the woods) to maintain your basic Constitutional rights.

There have been a few cases where the consumer did not have an opportunity to opt out, or the clause was extraordinarily over-reaching, but I think most are routinely upheld.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18757497 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 11:27:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18756793 PhoenixDown : They still need to show up at small claims court to dismiss it...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18756793 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 09:14:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18756787 pnh102 : Most companies stuff these provisions into their service agreements. However, many get overturned by the courts.
