Arbitration Opt-Out Templates

Reclaim your basic legal rights by opting out of arbitration!

This repository provides templates to opt out of arbitration clauses (and related) in the United States. Arbitration clauses ask consumers to give up their right to sue a corporation in court, and often prohibit them from suing in a class-basis, or even pursuing arbitration with a lawyer as representation.

Important: This repository is not produced by lawyers, does not constitute legal advice, and we are not your representatives.

Wall of shame

Some services have arbitration clauses, class-action waivers, and jury-trial waivers with no opt-out clause. These are extreme, these are awful, and you should never do business with these services. There's a reason they don't even offer a provision to opt out.

• Mobilecoin (Signal Payments)

• Cohost

Wall of fame

Some services don't come with an arbitration clause at all. This is a good thing.

• USMobile

Contribution

There are many ways you can contribute to this project!

Raising an issue for a missing template

Want to opt out of a service that isn't listed here? Make an issue for it to bring it to our attention!

Raise an issue if something is confusing!

If a template is unclear or you don't know what to do, please raise an issue and let us know. The goal is to make this as accessible as possible.

Update an opt-out template

Terms change constantly. Updating a template or raising an issue when it's out of date is very helpful.

Contribute a new opt-out template!

There are so many services, and this repository will never be complete. Creating a new template is immensely useful.

Each service is listed in a folder. At minimum, please include:

• A README.md which includes:
  • A link to the service Terms of Service
  • A last-update date
  • Instructions on how to opt-out
• The opt-out template in at least the following formats:
  • Markdown (.md)
  • For opt-outs which require printing:
    • PDF
    • .docx

In the per-service README, you are welcome to include any relevant articles or legal cases involving the service and arbitration. You are also welcome to provide a summary of the arbitration clause, related clauses, and the opt-out provisions.
