So I got an email today telling me that I would automatically accept their new ToS (which included barring me from class action lawsuits without 1-2 months of arbitration), but I could email them to refuse the change and keep the old ToS. I emailed them to refuse the change, was that a mistake?
I find it hard to believe "not responding to an email" is consent. I mean they can write that in an email but there's no way they could hold you to that in court.
I would think so. IANAL but I'm sure there's a ton of precedence for cases similar to this. HIPAA laws are very good for the people.
It's typical in software.
No
Not a mistake, but their ToS change without consent probably wouldn't stand up in court.
