Using or buying from the Shop binds you to these Terms and the website Terms
Accessing or using the Starbucks Shop website, or purchasing items through it, counts as accepting these Shop Terms and all terms they incorporate by reference, as Starbucks may revise them from time to time. The Shop Terms are to be read together with the Starbucks website Terms of Use (together, "these Terms"), and the result is described as a binding agreement between you and Starbucks Corporation (d/b/a Starbucks Coffee Company). If you do not agree, the text says you should not access or use the website or buy items through it.

Disputes are governed by an arbitration agreement that affects jury trial and class rights
The Terms say they include an arbitration agreement that governs any disputes between you and Starbucks. They warn that arbitration involves less discovery and appellate review than court, and that the arbitration agreement and other provisions will (1) eliminate your right to a jury trial to the extent allowable under applicable law, and (2) substantially affect your rights, including preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class or consolidated proceedings in arbitration and litigation.
