01:31 PM EST, 11/25/2024 (MT Newswires) -- The State of New York Court of Appeals on Monday upheld a lower court ruling that users who signed Uber Technologies' ( UBER ) updated terms of service in 2021 agreed to arbitrate any disputes with the company.

"For essentially as long as there have been written contracts, parties have entered them without first carefully reviewing their terms," Judge Anthony Cannataro said in his opinion. "That failure can have legal consequences, whether the party is a sophisticated entity or an ordinary consumer, and whether the contract is presented on paper or through an electronic pop-up window."

"Here, the consequence of plaintiff's purported failure to carefully review Uber's ( UBER ) updated terms of use is that she must make her arguments regarding Uber's ( UBER ) allegedly deceptive and unconscionable conduct to a neutral arbitrator, not the courts," Cannataro said.

Uber ( UBER ) did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
