Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+.

It says Mr Piccolo agreed to these terms of use when he signed up to a one month free trial of its streaming service, Disney+, in 2019.

It should be illegal to waive your right to go court.

It definitely should be illegal as a term for using a product or service. At the absolute minimum we should ban non-mutual arbitration clauses and these bullshit “for any dispute” clauses.
