Arbitration gives a company a way of not going to court and being able to hand the case
between a third party the company and the consumer choses. Arbitration clauses are in the fine

file a case or sue the company. The clause tends to be more in the company favor and leans more
to the “take it or leave it” concept leaving the consumer in a difficult spot

with it or going to a federal court. With a federal court, you’re at the schedule of the court system
and having to be flexible with dates they choose and court fees.
