US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms - eviltoast

This case is quite similar with Disney+ case.

You press ‘Agree’, you lost the right to sue the company.

    Why does the law allow this? Where in from you can write whatever the fuck you want on a contract but it doesn’t make it legal. If the shit in the contract is insane , a court would just refuse to enforce it

      Well, that is exactly what happens in the vast majority of cases, and almost certainly what’s going to happen here.

      That’s not to undercut how shitty a practice it is, it mostly serves to discourage and dissuade people from trying to sue in the first place.

        There absolutely needs to be a penalty for even trying bullshit like this. Maybe disbarring whatever lawyer thought it was a remotely good idea will send a message
