TLDR:
- Someone is suing Uber for discrimination because drivers didn't allow the person's guide dog in the car.
- Uber's terms state users can't sue Uber and must go through Uber's arbitration process
- Uber's terms were presented in the "By continuing you agree to these terms" fashion
- Person claimed they never agreed to arbitration and that they should be allowed to sue Uber, and a state court agreed
> But the broader impact of the ruling is to put companies on notice that they can't bind users to restrictive terms merely by linking to those terms somewhere in a site or app's registration process. In order to create a legally binding contract, a tech company has actually put the terms in front of the user and get them to affirmatively agree to them.
