Consumer & Mass Arbitration
Consumer contracts — credit cards, phone plans, apps, streaming — routinely include arbitration clauses with class-action waivers, so disputes are handled one-on-one in arbitration. In response, plaintiffs' firms use 'mass arbitration,' filing thousands of individual claims at once to pressure companies with the fees.
Most of these clauses let you opt out within a short window (often by email or mail). If you didn't opt out, you can still bring an individual arbitration — and small, bounded disputes are exactly what Quick-Resolve resolves fast.

Consumer & Mass Arbitration — questions answered
What is mass arbitration?
A strategy where a law firm files thousands of individual arbitration demands against one company at the same time, so the company faces enormous filing and arbitrator fees — used to counter class-action waivers.
How do I opt out of a consumer arbitration clause?
Look for the opt-out section in the terms — many companies (banks, apps, carriers) let you opt out by sending written notice within about 30–60 days of accepting the agreement. Keep proof you sent it.
Can I still arbitrate if I didn't opt out?
Yes — you can bring an individual arbitration for a covered dispute. For a clear, bounded consumer dispute, a flat-fee process like Quick-Resolve can resolve it quickly.
What is a class-action waiver?
A term in an arbitration clause barring you from joining a class action, requiring you to arbitrate individually. The Supreme Court has generally upheld these under the Federal Arbitration Act.
