   So Uber ToS requires you to accept arbitration, then, when they are found responsible for damages, they still don’t want to pay. Seems pretty shitty for the consumer.

      I don't think there's anything to suggest Uber refused to pay the arbitration award? They just stated that they disagreed with the outcome.

      (Which is not to say there's not plenty to dislike about this whole case, including the fact it's forced arbitration...)

         In that case why is there a "settlement agreement" mentioned that has a $10M penalty for disparagement? Not sure what that refers to exactly but how can Uber (try to) dictate terms in the settlement?

         It does seem they're trying to get out of it somehow.

            It sounds like they didn't agree to that but anyone can propose a settlement.

               Really? Isn't the arbitration binding and therefore the end of the matter?
