I agree. I think arbitration should be limited to one-off cases, not class action lawsuits because you sell a faulty product.

It shouldn't be allowed for contracts of adhesion (take or leave it contracts for consumers). Mandatory binding arbitration should be limited to business to business negotiated contracts.
