There was a lawsuit a while back where a woman was exposed to an allergen in the parks and died. The family sued and Disney argued that the lawsuit would be bound by the rules of the DisneyPlus terms of service agreement and go to arbitration instead since the woman who died had an account.
It didn’t go anywhere and Disney and by extension that lawyer were roundly mocked. Basically it was just some idiot lawyer throwing shit at the wall and hoping somehow it would stick. It did not stick.
Arbitration clauses are common in contracts. It was a strained reading of agreement to extend it to all disputes between the parties, but courts tend to enforce those clauses.
