Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

This means that freelancers like me who read the website would lose the right to sue the company if (when) we got stiffed. #consenttheater #bindingarbitration #dickovers
