An asymmetrical legal and financial balance isn't even the real problem, it's that contracts from large companies are on paper non-negotiable with the real negotiation occurring is in court when the terms of the contract are contested. We already have some protections for people who agree to take-it-or-leave-it contracts but, to me, it's not terribly clear whether those protections extend to private arbitrators who might blindly rule on the letter of the contract.
