Arbitration Agreement: Yes
One of the options we provide with Memories is the ability to create a restricted area by setting a passcode, which might be a PIN or a passphrase or some other mechanism. This is similar to the device-lock option you may be using on your mobile device; by setting a passcode, you make it less likely that another person who gets ahold of your device will be able to see what you saved to the restricted area of Memories. But here’s a big warning: IF YOU LOSE OR FORGET YOUR MEMORIES PASSCODE, OR IF YOU ENTER THE WRONG ONE TOO MANY TIMES, YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO ANY CONTENT YOU SAVED IN THE RESTRICTED AREA OF MEMORIES.
You will not buy, sell, rent, or lease access to your Snapchat account, Snaps, a Snapchat username, or a friend link without our written permission.

Taxes: Users are solely responsible for filing taxes on their purchases.
Marketing and Promotion: If you are a Nifty Creator, you hereby grant Nifty Gateway the right to use your name and image for marketing or promotional purposes.
Risks:
The price and liquidity of blockchain assets, including Nifties, are extremely volatile and may be subject to large fluctuations
Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect Nifties, which may also be subject to significant price volatility
Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of Nifties
Nifties are not legal tender and are not backed by the government
Transactions in Nifties may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable
Some transactions in Nifties shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you initiated the transaction
The value of Nifties may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or digital assets for Nifties, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular Nifty should the market for that Nifty disappear
The nature of Nifties may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber attack, and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by Gemini may prevent the access to or use of your Digital Assets

Arbitration Agreement: Yes
Disney explains the impact of arbitration on consumers very clearly: YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
The Passwords and Security clause states you aren’t allowed to share your Disney account information with anyone: You agree that you will not share your account or account information with others. You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of your username and password, and you are responsible for all activities under your account that you can reasonably control.
You are buying access not ownership of Disney’s products. When you purchase a product from Disney you are buying a license to access the product: This is a license agreement and not an agreement for sale or assignment of any rights in the Disney Products.
Disney subscription products (cough cough Disney+) will auto renew on your payment method: By signing up for a subscription, you agreed that your subscription will be automatically renewed and, unless you cancel your subscription, you authorized us to charge your payment method for the renewal term.

Netflix Terms of Use Highlights:

Word count 4147
Arbitration Agreement: Yes
New Word Learned: PURPORTED
appearing or stated to be true, though not necessarily so; alleged "the purported marriage was void"
If you are traveling and have download content be careful if/when you connect your device, you may lose access to your downloaded content.
Some Offline Titles may not be playable in certain countries and if you go online in a country where you would not be able to stream that Offline Title, the Offline Title will not be playable while you are in that country
Netflix actually explains what arbitration means/is rather clearly.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights.
You need to send an physical letter by certified mail to file a claim (it can’t be an email but Netflix can email you)

Zoom Terms of Service Apr 06, 2020

Zoom Terms of Service narrated by Scott Elchison.

Zoom Terms of Service Highlights:

Word count 3915
Zoom has an arbitration clause
Zoom has a No Warranty clause. This disclaimer serves to release the seller or producer (Zoom) from legal liability for product failures or defects. In Zoom’s case this also includes security. Yikes.
ZOOM, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS AND RESELLERS MAKE NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION REGARDING THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES, REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET ANY USER'S REQUIREMENTS, OR BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR FREE.
Zoom’s Termination clause is hysterical. If at any time you are not happy with the services, your sole remedy is to cease using the services and follow their termination process.

Facebook Terms of Service Apr 01, 2020

Facebook's Terms of Service narrated by Scott Elchison.

Facebook Terms of Service Highlights:

Word Count: 4054
Facebook doesn’t have an arbitration clause.
You can have your Facebook account memorialized upon death or incapacity (but not disappearance. All my Tiger King fans out there know what's good).
When you delete content on Facebook, it’s no longer visible to other users, however it may continue to exist elsewhere on Facebook’s systems because immediate deletion is not possible due to technical limitations. If this is the case your content will be deleted within a maximum of 90 days from when you delete it.
Your content may also not be deleted if the content you are trying to delete has been used by others in accordance with the license you grant to Facebook when you agree to their terms of service and that person has not deleted the content.
You give Facebook permission to use your name, profile picture and information about actions you have taken on Facebook next to or in connection with ads, offers, and other sponsored content that Facebook displays across their Products, without any compensation to you.
Always ask yourself how a company makes money before agreeing to your next terms of service agreement. It is a simple question that will help you better understand if you are a consumer of a product or the product that is being sold.

Welcome To Ts&Zzz Mar 07, 2020

Ts&Zzz is a podcast to help you fall asleep. It’s a conversation you can turn on as you wind down and slowly tune out as you start to fall asleep, knowing full well you won’t have to rewind the podcast in the morning. The back and forth conversation becomes a metronome for your mind, helping you destress, focus and gently drift off to sleep.
