Mandatory Binding Arbitration

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Arbitration typically favors large companies over individual consumers and removes the public accountability that comes with court proceedings.

Consumer impact

This agreement significantly affects your legal rights by requiring all disputes with Comcast to be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, and by waiving your right to participate in class action lawsuits. Comcast retains the right to modify service terms and pricing, meaning your monthly bill or service features can change with notice. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by following the written opt-out process described in the agreement, typically within 30 days of first becoming subject to the provision.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Within 30 days
    Send a written notice to Comcast within 30 days of first becoming subject to the arbitration provision. Your notice must include your name, address, account number, and a statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Refer to the specific mailing address listed in your agreement.

Applicable agencies
