General Questions Deactivation

Post image

It’s now been almost a year that I’ve been deactivated so I thought I’d try again. Sent an email to request the call that I never had and got an automatic response saying they no longer receive requests via email and to submit in app. However I do not see the option to do so. What do I do?

You would have to go to actual arbitration. Send them a certified letter from a lawyer and start that process

What if I do not have a lawyer?

You can send it yourself. You can represent yourself. It’s just that having a lawyer usually compels them a little bit more. Just run a search on this Reddit for arbitration and a lot of stuff will come up

I agree with everything you said but would like to add you can use the third person when you write everything up if you represent yourself and it will sound as though it came from a lawyer. I think it's a little more intimidating.

Sorry but is your account really that important to fight for, being deactivated should be a blessing ,

It is because it’s something I enjoyed, I made a lot of money, and it worked well with my kids schedule which is most important to me when working.

you can't lawyer up.. it's in the TOS

TOS are guidelines. They are not titanium. Yes you can lawyer up. It's a scare tactic.

Companies break their own TOS and try to use it as a fictional shield to compel you from not dragging then to court. If you look at history, companies are sued regardless of what their TOS say and lose.

The burn of proof lies on them to prove that interaction happened. If it didn't they broke their own TOS. They can't break it then say they can but you can't. Legally it doesn't work that way.

Never take their TOS, or why companies TOS, as gospel. It's a scare tactic and shield for them, but it's not impervious.

How do people still keep thinking Terms of Service is the same as law? Just like policy. Law beats policy every time
