What's a class action waiver?
A class action waiver is a clause in a company's terms and conditions that stops customers from joining group lawsuits. Instead of many people with similar complaints suing together, each person has to bring their own case individually. Amazon's new terms include this, meaning customers can't team up for legal action.
