This section says that you can't make an agreement that stops someone from going to court to enforce their contract rights. Agreements that limit the time to go to court or remove someone's rights are usually not valid. However, agreements to go to arbitration (where a neutral person decides the issue) are generally allowed.
A and B have a contract. An agreement saying that A can never sue B if B breaks the contract is void. However, if A and B agree to go to arbitration to solve any disputes, that's usually okay.
- •You have the right to enforce your contract rights in court.
- •Agreements that prevent you from going to court are usually invalid.
- •You can agree to resolve disputes through arbitration.
