The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has refused to enforce an arbitration clause in the user agreement of PayPal (the online billing/payment site) as against several class action plaintiffs. The clause, set up as a click-through agreement, called for ‘single arbitration’ of disputes between users and PayPal. This decision illustrates how courts are not treating click-through agreements with uniformity, in light of last week’s decision by a District of Columbia court upholding a similar clause for Verizon (which was the subject of last week’s Update).
