Holy shit, my wife just found this on the top of a container of collagen that we just bought from #Costco:
โ€œBy 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.โ€

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

@Wraithe I would return it. After photographing the jar alongside this and sharing it widely on social media, of course.

@fifilamoura Yeah calling Costco and complaining is definitely in the cards.

my wife, while reading the comments also idly noted that if youโ€™ve already opened that label, you can still return it to Costco, but they canโ€™t put it back up on the shelves. ๐Ÿ˜‡

But I guess that would have to go to arbitration. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Wraithe @fifilamoura So... I notice that it says "by opening and using" โ€” I'm not a lawyer, but I'd hope that in law, "and" doesn't mean "or", thus that you could open it, not use it, and not fall under that sketchy and dubious claim even in theory. ๐Ÿค”

I'm with the "make it hurt to hurt the consumers" crowd. When I bought a moderately expensive item through amazon from a third-party seller and discovered that they had misrepresented the warranty on their amazon listing, I made them eat the return and made sure they knew why.

@mcdanlj @Wraithe @fifilamoura In law, all words mean whatever the most expensive lawyer in the room says they do.
