On July 19, 2021, Amazon sent an email to its customers (including the author) to announce a change in its terms and conditions. The email read, “One of our updates involves how disputes are resolved between you and Amazon. Previously, our Conditions of Use set out an arbitration process for those disputes. Our updated Conditions of Use provides for dispute resolution by the courts.” Just a few years ago, such a change would have been unthinkable.
