Woman died because an employee at a Disney resort served her food with peanuts in it. Her widower tried to sue, because the woman had confirmed with the server that there would be no nuts, and the server assured them there wouldn’t be. So someone on the restaurant’s side fucked up. Pretty open and shut case of negligence.
Disney’s lawyers tried to get the lawsuit dismissed, by saying that the husband had agreed to binding arbitration in the Terms of Service when he signed up for a free two week Disney+ trial on his Xbox several years prior. He never actually paid for a subscription, and cancelled after the free trial. But Disney was saying that the binding arbitration clause was still in effect in perpetuity, even after the trial ended and he cancelled the service.
Disney quickly reversed course (and “allowed” the man to sue them) once they realized it was making headlines, because they didn’t want to deal with the bad PR. But if it hadn’t made headlines, Disney’s lawyers likely would have continued pushing for dismissal.
Moving to arbitration where the party making the agreement picks the arbiter, is close to being dismissed because there is about a 10% chance of winning.
The restaurant is in Disney Springs. Correct that its not Disney but they still have a stake in the restaurant.
Wow, no reason for name calling. I was just calling out how you were doing a similar injustice to the truth. But okay, I am a cunt for disagreeing with your assessment.
I’m not arguing that Disney should be held liable just that your generalization was wrong. If you are going to argue points of view on the internet and revert to name calling all I have to say is go to bed you child.
In other news, like the article that spurred this thread corporations using ToS to scapegoat things is wrong.
Then they should have argued that instead of “you can’t sue us for negligence because of a completely unrelated service you used for a week several years ago.”
So disney has no control or agency over any of its restraunts or third party vendors it overseas, controls, places guidelines on, issues quality control specifitions, and can remove at any moment?
Well, I won’t be using Uber any more. Right alongside anything produced by Disney.
Fuck both of them.

Your misinformation is just as bad.

There is no way the disney brand would allow complete control over a sub contractor. Disney has final say in anything inside those gates.

What bullshit? Disney, has an image to protect and they absolutely exert control over their sub contractor vendors.
Did Disney do something recently?
They tried the exact same thing not too long ago.
Oh yeah, I forgot about injustice in the sea of injustice that has been the last few years.
Well. what are supposed to do?
Stop voting for a$$holes? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Boycott Disney. Pretty easy to do.
