The judges cited a clause in Uber's terms of use stating that disputes must be settled through arbitration rather than in court. The McGintys claim they were unaware of this clause and had only agreed to it when their daughter, then 12, accepted the terms prior to ordering food on Uber Eats. This decision potentially sets a precedent for other cases involving companies with similar arbitration clauses.
