Once one company gets away with it, the rest follow.
There’s a ton of stolen art on displate anyway
wonder what awful shit they’re about to be outed for doing to have randomly added this clause
Damn it I actually liked Displate.
Why have arbitration clauses become the new default shitty thing for companies to do?
Not that I know anything about this company but like most companies I’ve seen do this, you can opt-out of arbitration and these other surrendering of rights. I just did a quick google search for “displate.com opt-out” and it was the first hit:
“THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER CLAUSE THAT IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WITHIN 30 DAYS:”
It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.
I don’t have the OP’s original source code, but I’m betting the “here” hyperlink leads right to the page I posted. So probably not quite hidden, but “you have to click on the one thing we’re give you to click on to have more information”
I was just quoting the Hitchhiker’s Guide.
Sure, you can technically opt out, but Displate is counting on users glossing over the possibility until they have a reason to want to opt out at which point it will be too late (i.e. they want to sue or take them to small claims court or whatever).
