What is Arbitration Clause?

Risk: High. Limits your legal options significantly.

Definition

A clause requiring disputes to be resolved through private arbitration instead of court. You waive your right to sue in court or join a class action. Arbitrators are usually paid by the company you're disputing with, and their decisions are typically final and not appealable.
