"Statute of limitations"? (none / 0) (#1)
by Anonymous User on Mon Nov 08, 2004 at 06:54:13 PM PDT

As a non-lawyer, I am curious as to how long the customer has before sending in such a form.  If Sprint sent send me this ammended contract early this year (as Mr. Woodward's date implies), would it be applicable to send in a form now 11 months later?  Or would a court be likely to find that I had already assented to Sprint's proposed "contract" by continuing to do business after nearly one year?

I have been a Sprint customer for over three years and do not recall seeing such a stuffer, although Comcast did send me one in June 2004.  I was moving out of town at the time and cancelled my service with a note that I did not agree to be bound by arbitration.  I do not know if this had any effect on their plan or if their legal department ever received the notice.

This may be a key point, since most companies do not open their own mail, but instead have outsourced the bill payment.  Would this have any affect on the "battle of the forms"?
