I am currently working on an article entitled: Consumer Click Arbitration: a Review of Online Arbitration Agreements.  This article explains research our team did into on-line consumer arbitration agreements, including where such agreements appear on the retailer’s website, how the consumer can access the agreement, and in what manner the consumer manifests consent to arbitrate disputes.
