Virgos Groove Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Quote Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+. Jeffrey Piccolo filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Disney after his wife died in 2023 from a severe allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant at the theme park. However, Disney argues its terms of use, which Mr Piccolo agreed to when creating his Disney account in 2019, means they have to settle out of court. Quote The entertainment company argues it cannot be taken to court because, in its terms of use, it says users agree to settle any disputes with the company via arbitration. It says Mr Piccolo agreed to these terms of use when he signed up to a one month free trial of its streaming service, Disney+, in 2019. BBC This is so dystopian. 5

crf13 Posted August 14 Posted August 14 It's giving that unhinged South Park episode where Kyle is kidnapped by Apple and turned into a human centi-pad after agreeing to Apple's terms & conditions without reading it. 3
UnusualBoy Posted August 14 Posted August 14 From Disney being greedy bastards to the man (May he rest in peace) being named Piccolo 8
Pavement Princess Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Lmao even if he legally bound to that, which I doubt, why would Disney not want to just take a loss after they seemingly killed his wife… He's literally only asking for 50K. This is so evil. 11 1
ScorpiosGroove Posted August 14 Posted August 14 just burn the whole company to the ground, society has long moved past a need for disney to exist 10 1
Uncatena Posted August 14 Posted August 14 To even suggest this is... idek what to say. I hope they all ******* rot. And they shouldn't pay 50k, but 50 million at least. 2 9

This is so evil. 50k is Pennies to them, especially considering they are a billion dollar company. He is asking for such a low amount then what he deserves and it's crazy they are trying to fight it. 1
family.guy123 Posted August 14 Posted August 14 47 minutes ago, NewStanner said: For one month in 2019? How are these terms still up to date then... if you read the article you'd see this very next line that OP withheld from the thread "Disney adds that Mr Piccolo accepted these terms again when using his Disney account to buy tickets for the theme park in 2023." furthermore " ibreel Tramboo, barrister at Church Court Chambers, says the terms in the Disney+ trial are a "weak argument for Disney to rely on". However, he says, the clause in the ticket purchase from 2023 may be a stronger case, "as there is a similar arbitration clause". "That may permit Disney to stay the case for arbitration," he says, "although there are many other threads that may prevent them going to arbitration given the delicate circumstances in this case."" 3

deEtincelle Posted August 14 Posted August 14 feel so lucky to avoid dining there (every time I sneak burgers with my backpack from McD before entrance
Popboi. Posted August 14 Posted August 14 When arbitration fails, you go to court. It's not a complete dismissal.
AMIT Posted August 14 Posted August 14 All corporations would do this kind of stuff if they could get away with it btw. Let's stop missing the forest for the trees! 2
aesthetic bih Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Disney being greedy and cheap, now the whole world is gonna know about this since it's gonna be on the news. They honestly should've just paid the 50k 1
JBJT2786 Posted August 14 Posted August 14 5 bucks says he gets a settlement now that this out in public. Disney can't dodge the bad rep even when they're winning 1
Buffy Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I'm so confused. How is one like the other? One is a restaurant and one is a Disney+ streaming subscription. The wife died at the restaurant, not in front of the TV.
Hurem Posted August 14 Posted August 14 He is suing them for only $50k, it's literal pennies for them. He should milk them as much as he can. I am thankful for EU cause they would never let this **** fly and would clock Disney within seconds. 1
