Could someone explain why binding arbitration clauses are horrible? My understanding is that it keeps costs low on both sides as taking things to actual court can get expensive.
But they can stack the deck heavily in their favor, and you don't have the same legal protections anymore. Who arbitrates Where? When?
Yeah. There already are arbitrators by law: public courts.
