Jerome signs and online contract when he buys a custom gaming system from Gamers United Corporation by clicking "I accept" as to the terms and conditions. (This is an effective and legal way to sign a contract.) Jerome did not click on the hyperlink to read the terms and conditions before clicking "I accept." The gaming system is defective and catches fire, causing significant damage to Jerome's home. He sues Gamers United Corporation, which tells him he must arbitrate his claim (i.e. he cannot sue). Jerome argues he should not be required to arbitrate because he did not see this term when he clicked "I accept." Will Jerome's mistake allow him to avoid arbitration? Yes. Gamers United Corporation should not benefit from the mistake of its customers that do not read all of the contract and its "terms and conditions" before clicking "I accept." responsible for online contracts. O No. Because it was a unilateral mistake, not a mutual mistake. O Yes. Jerome should not be forced to use arbitration when he was mistaken about the terms in his contract. O No. Jerome "signed" the contract by clicking "I accept" and this acceptance covers all terms, even if he did not read the contract
