Sykes of the Central District of California agreed with Fliff that players waive the right to settle disputes in court when they agree to the company&rsquo;s terms and conditions.&nbsp;The case now moves to third-party arbitration. This alternative dispute resolution relies on a neutral arbitrator to preside over a private process where both parties present their arguments and evidence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">This prevents &ldquo;hundreds if not thousands&rdquo; from joining in on a class action, according to Nessim&rsquo;s lawyers.
