In the 2002 case of Specht v. Netscape, in which Netscape tried to dismiss a lawsuit against it by arguing that the plaintiff had agreed to a license that included an arbitration clause, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that:
the license agrement compelling arbitration was enforced, because the customer had an obligation to read the entire Netscape website, including the license agreement
the license agrement compelling arbitration could not be enforced, because the type of license agreement was a "browsewrap" agreement, and such agreements are never valid
the license agrement compelling arbitration could not be enforced, because customers needed to scroll down to the bottom of the web page just to notice the license agreement and the website did not require any active or affirmative assent by customers
the license agrement compelling arbitration was enforced, because Netscape offered its customers the right to "opt out" of the arbitratiomn agreement and the plaintiff had chosen not to do so
