Massachusetts Supreme Court Reviews Legality of Uber’s “Terms of Use”

The Massachusetts Supreme Court recently heard arguments in a case that could have significant implications for e-commerce. The case centers around when online companies’ “terms of use” can be considered legally enforceable. The court’s ruling will determine whether a pop-up screen on the Uber app, requiring users to agree to a 12-page contract, waived the right to sue in a specific case involving a passenger who was left quadriplegic after an accident caused by a driver with a checkered history.
