Valve Removes Right For Class Action Claims From EULA

Posted by Soulskill on from the let's-all-sue-them-for-this dept.

trawg writes "Valve has joined the list of companies that have altered their terms and conditions to prevent users from filing a class action suit. Their official statement says that such claims 'impose unnecessary expense and delay' and are 'designed to benefit the class action lawyers.' In its stead, they've added a new arbitration process, in which Valve will reimburse costs (under certain circumstances) when dispute resolution can't be solved through their normal support process."

    Such a good company like that should put stuff in their EULA so that they totally own you. I mean really make you their bitch. Yup, they're a good company.

    I have my exemption to their EULA posted on the side of my machine. If they don't agree to my modified terms, all they have to do is notify me by letter.

    Still haven't received one.

    I'd have to agree with the courts on this one. It's a legislative problem for the moment. The last thing we need is more legislation from the bench.
