TikTok may be seeking to avoid increasingly high costs of mass arbitration.

    IANAL; However Usually the contracts have a severability clause, meaning even if some parts of that contract are null and void the rest of it stands minus the parts that are illegal. Does that mean those clauses are also null and void depending on locality? Again IANAL, but I believe it’s pretty settled contract law at least in the US.

        It’s a pretty common clause in most contracts, so I’m not sure why you’re so confident that they aren’t used in EULAs

            Precisely for this reason?

            So that the entire contract isn’t void if one provision is struck down.
