In case anyone was wondering:

> 5. How much does arbitration cost?

> If the court orders a case to arbitration (following a stipulation or at the Case Management Conference), and the parties elect to use an arbitrator on the court's Arbitration Panel, the court pays the arbitrator ($150 for up to four hours and a maximum of $300 regardless of the number of arbitration sessions).

> If the parties choose a private arbitrator, they will be required to pay the arbitrator's regular hourly rate and other charges. The market rates for private arbitrators can range from $200-$1,000 per hour.

If it's not by court order, but in the clause of a contract, then the company just never bothers to schedule the arbitration at all. That's actually going on with some companies.

So no law suit and no arbitration. Win-win for the company.

Yep. Uber got some bad press for this a while ago.
