My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: New York
So I tried a few sites that allow you to make money online (or at least recoup money from shopping similar to credit card rewards). It actually worked and I made money from several different sites, but one site is refusing to pay and from what I can find online, they have a habit of refusing to pay the money their users earn.
So I figured I'd sue them in small claims court, since I know they have the income to pay a judgement with.
The one catch is that buried in their terms of service (which are posted on their site but don't need to be clicked through to join), they have a prohibition on class action suits against them and a clause that any action brought against them must be filed in Delaware.
So, does New York (or the federal government) have any consumer protection laws that preempt choice of venue clauses in the event of outright fraud? Is it possible to file suit in Delaware without having to physically travel there (or hire a lawyer there)? Can I file it in New York and figure they probably won't show up anyway?
