Of course, a metal artwork company needs a binding arbitration clause, and for you to waive your rights to class action lawsuits and jury trials.

Once one company gets away with it, the rest follow.

wonder what awful shit they're about to be outed for doing to have randomly added this clause
Not that I know anything about this company but like most companies I've seen do this, you can opt-out of arbitration and these other surrendering of rights. I just did a quick google search for "displate.com opt-out" and it was the first hit:
"THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER CLAUSE THAT IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WITHIN 30 DAYS:"

- It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard'.
  
  I don't have the OP's original source code, but I'm betting the "here" hyperlink leads right to the page I posted. So probably not quite hidden, but "you have to click on the one thing we're give you to click on to have more information"
I have a personal rule, nothing that advertises to me via ads or YouTube/Twitch sponsors is ever going to be worth a purchase. So far it tracks.
- Here's my personal rule: any product / company heavy-handed enough to get past my strict ad filtering online, or advertises enough offline to get on my radar immediately goes into my never-buy list.
  Example of that: NordVPN and Brilliant. They managed to bribe so many of the Youtubers I watch - who otherwise produce good, honest content - into shilling their shit that they will never get a dime from me. They might have if they hadn't invaded so much of Youtube, but now they won't.
  
  I get so pissed off when one of the YouTubers I follow starts shilling for some bs subscription service that I have to play a few hours of Raid: Shadow Legends to calm down.
Seems like this kind of bullshit needs to be removed just like the NDA bullshit that got fixed.
There's a ton of stolen art on displate anyway
Damn it I actually liked Displate.
Why have arbitration clauses become the new default shitty thing for companies to do?
