Holy shit, my wife just found this on the top of a container of collagen that we just bought from #Costco:
“By opening and using this product, you agree to be bound by our terms and conditions fully set forth at vitalproteins.com/tc, which include a mandatory arbitration agreement. If you do not agree to be bound, please return this product immediately.”
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
@Wraithe I think the most concerning part about this is the fact that the terms (which you are essentially forced to accept because who thinks to look for an arbitration clause on a supplement) are linked in a website.
This means they can essentially retroactively change what you agreed to without your knowledge. Include the terms in the packaging or don't have them in the first place.

A fascinating look into the history of contracts. Originally, they were very specific things that only counted if both sides explicitly agreed to them. Then they were only if you took an actual action (open a package), and now they are legal if you don't take an action (click a button saying opt-out).
