Why Offer Arbitration Opt-Out
<p>As I understand it, <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/q/27224/10">in the United States there is no legal obligation for a company to offer its customers the opportunity to opt-out of their arbitration agreement</a>.  So why do some companies offer their customer a very short window in which they can opt-out of the arbitration agreement?</p>

<p>Does offering the limited opt-out option give the company some added legal protection?  (It doesn’t seem to be for the customer's benefit or it wouldn’t have a time limit, so I assume it must offer some legal or strategic benefit for the company to include it?)</p>

<p>Companies that operate worldwide have to comply with the law everywhere they operate. Some jurisdictions consider mandatory arbitration in standard-form consumer contracts to be unenforceable - providing the out may overcome this.</p>
