`
`Case No.: 1:25-cv-01590
`
`Petition for an order compelling
`arbitration before the AAA
`
`Aalany McMahan, Isaac Dwek, Luke Seagraves, Avrohom Shor, Ariella
`1.
`Shor, and the other claimants listed in Appendix A (the “claimants” or “Petitioners”)
`hereby petition this Honorable Court for an order compelling arbitration against
`Whaleco, Inc. dba Temu (“Temu” or “Respondent”) before the American Arbitration
`Association (the “AAA”).
`
`Nature of the Petition
`Petitioners are several of thousands of Temu customers who attempted
`2.
`to arbitrate their individual consumer claims against Temu before the AAA.
`3.
`In the arbitration proceedings filed in the AAA, Petitioners alleged that
`Temu engaged in false advertising and deceptive trade practices by advertising deals
`that are false and deceptive with no intention of actually honoring them.
`4.
`Petitioners also alleged that Temu unlawfully intercepted, collected,
`used, and disseminated consumers’ personal and private information. Specifically,
`Petitioners complained of Temu’s use of tracking pixels and other surveillance tools
`to intercept and gather information and data from visitors to its website, users of its
`mobile applications, and subscribers to Temu’s marketing communications. Temu
`then unlawfully disseminated the secretly obtained data to third parties.

`Case 1:25-cv-01590-RER-VMS Document 1 Filed 03/21/25 Page 2 of 59 PageID #: 2
`
`In the AAA arbitrations, Petitioners brought causes of action for: (1)
`5.
`violations of New York General Business Law §349 and §350; (2) violations of the
`Electronic Communications Privacy Act (“ECPA”); (3) violations of state wiretapping
`statutes; (4) violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act (“VPPA”); (5) common law
`breach of expressed and/ or implied contract; and (6) breach of the implied covenant
`of good faith and fair dealing.
`Respondent refused to allow the arbitrations to proceed. Respondent
`6.
`argued that it was not required to participate in arbitrations until a court has entered
`a ruling regarding the claimants’ obligation to meet a precondition to arbitration,
`under the applicable arbitration agreement.
`The precondition at issue is a provision in the arbitration agreement
`7.
`that, according to Respondent, required the parties to conduct virtual settlement
`conferences before the claimants may file their claims in arbitration (the “conference
`provisions”).
`Temu lacked any credible basis to delay the AAA arbitrations. As an
`8.
`initial matter, the conference provisions in the Agreement are not enforceable because
`they are unconscionable and designed to delay proceedings and chill consumers from
`bringing their meritorious claims.
`In any case, Petitioners did, in fact, participate in the conferences on
`9.
`February 19, 2024, so the precondition was satisfied.
`Furthermore, given Temu’s bad faith conduct before, during, and after
`10.
`the February 2024 conferences, Temu waived any argument that Petitioners are
`required to participate in additional conferences.
`Temu admitted that it had no intention to engage in the settlement
`11.
`conferences in good faith. Instead, Temu used the conferences to attempt to “gather
`information” about consumers and their claims.

`

`

`Case 1:25-cv-01590-RER-VMS Document 1 Filed 03/21/25 Page 3 of 59 PageID #: 3
`
`12. During the conferences, Temu refused to engage in settlement
`discussions and used the conference as an opportunity to threaten consumers with
`sanctions if they continued to pursue their arbitration claims against Temu.
`Petitioners sought to have a AAA arbitrator decide these issues—i.e.,
`13.
`whether the conference requirements were enforceable or satisfied.
`The AAA appointed a Process Arbitrator, an interim arbitrator of limited
`14.
`jurisdiction, to determine limited administrative and procedural issues.
`15. Ultimately, the AAA Process Arbitrator ruled that before Petitioners’
`claims can proceed to a AAA merits arbitrator, a court must first decide the issues
`involving the conference requirement in the arbitration agreement.
`In other words, absent this Court’s order, Petitioners are unable to
`16.
`pursue their claims in arbitration.
`Thus, Petitioners submit this petition for this Court to compel Temu to
`17.
`abide by its own agreement to arbitrate Petitioners’ claims before the AAA. Petitioners
`respectfully request that this Court rule that all of the parties’ disputes, including
`issues related to the conference condition, be determined by merits arbitrators before
`the AAA.
`
`Parties
`Temu is an online marketplace operated by the Chinese e-commerce
`18.
`company PDD Holdings, offering heavily discounted consumer goods, primarily
`shipped from China.
`Petitioners are Temu customers who each submitted their consumer
`19.
`claims against Temu in the AAA.
`Jurisdiction and Venue
`This Court has jurisdiction to grant the relief requested herein pursuant
`20.
`to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 4. This Court also has jurisdiction over this
`
`- 3 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:25-cv-01590-RER-VMS Document 1 Filed 03/21/25 Page 4 of 59 PageID #: 4
`
`action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1367 because the underlying controversy
`involves claims arising under federal law.
`Furthermore, this Court has personal jurisdiction over the parties since
`21.
`at least one Petitioner is a resident of New York, and Respondent continuously and
`permanently does business in New York and has established the requisite minimum
`contacts with New York.
`22. Venue is proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1301(a)(2),
`1391(b)(2), and 1391(c)(2), as a substantial part of the events and/or omissions giving
`rise to the claims emanated from activities within this District, and Defendant
`conducts substantial business in this District.
`Temu’s Scheme to Prevent Consumers from
`Bringing Their Claims in Any Forum
`In the AAA arbitrations, Temu argued that the issue of whether the
`23.
`conference provisions were enforceable is for a court—and not an arbitrator—to
`decide.
`24. But when other consumers made the same argument in court, Temu
`took the opposite position and argued that the issue should be determined by an
`arbitrator—and not a court. See Hu v. Whaleco Inc., Ziboukh Pl.’s Amicus Br., No.
`1:23-cv-06962-MKBRML, ECF No. 45, p. 27 (E.D.N.Y. filed 7/5/24); Id. at ECF No. 50,
`pp. 13-14 (filed 8/19/24), Ex. 11 (included as Ex. D to Ex. 11).
`25. Unfortunately for consumers everywhere who were harmed by Temu,
`Temu’s scheme to create delays and prevent consumers from bringing their claims
`appears to be working.
`The AAA Process Arbitrator ruled that the issue should be determined
`26.
`by a court.
`27. But the Court in Hu, unaware of Temu’s tactics taken in the consumers’
`arbitrations, determined that the issue should be determined by an arbitrator. See Id.

`Case 1:25-cv-01590-RER-VMS Document 1 Filed 03/21/25 Page 5 of 59 PageID #: 5
`
`Petitioners seek a ruling that all of these issues should be determined
`28.
`by an arbitrator, as required under the Federal Arbitration Act and the parties’
`arbitration agreement.
`29. Consistent with the public policy favoring arbitration—with the goal of
`efficient, cost effective, and speedy resolution of claims—this Court should compel the
`parties to resolve their disputes in arbitration before the AAA.
`Temu’s Failure to Participate
`in Good Faith in the Conferences
`30. On December 19, 2023, Temu published the applicable Terms of Use,
`requiring that “all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration” before the AAA (the
`“Agreement”). Ex. 1.
`31. Under the Agreement, before filing a claim in arbitration, a claimant
`must first submit a Notice of Dispute. Id.
`32. After a Notice of Dispute is submitted, but before a claim is filed in
`arbitration, the Agreement states that the parties must conduct a settlement
`conference in good faith to attempt to resolve the parties’ disputes. Id.
`33. On December 28, 2023, counsel for the parties agreed to mediate the
`parties’ disputes before Robert A. Meyer. Ex. 16. However, Temu later refused to
`honor the commitment, showing its disinterest in engaging in good faith informal
`efforts to resolve the disputes.
`34. On January 22, 2024, claimants began submitting their formal pre-
`arbitration Notices of Dispute, pursuant to the Agreement. See e.g. Ex. 2.
`Petitioners disputed whether
`the conference provisions were
`35.
`enforceable, but in good faith, Petitioners agreed to schedule virtual conferences with
`Temu. Exs. 3, 4.
`36. On February 19, 2024, the parties conducted virtual conferences. See
`Exs. 5, 6.

`

`

`Case 1:25-cv-01590-RER-VMS Document 1 Filed 03/21/25 Page 6 of 59 PageID #: 6
`
`37. During the conferences, Temu acted in bad faith without any intention
`of having a “conference” to try to resolve the parties’ disputes. See generally Ex. 6.
`Temu’s intent was to use the conferences for Temu to “gather information” and
`inappropriately try to chill the consumers with threats of sanctions should they
`proceed with their claims:
`a. The conferences were attended by a Temu customer service
`representative, named Michael. Ex. 6.
`b. During each conference, the Temu customer service representative
`would read the same script, containing four boilerplate questions and a
`threat of sanctions should the consumer file any claims against Temu.
`Id.
`c. No matter what the consumer responded to each question, the Temu
`representative would move on to the next question and refuse to have
`any “discussion” at all. Id.
`d. The Temu customer service representative, Michael, repeatedly stated
`that he believed that the conferences were for Temu to “gather
`information” and was not willing to answer any of the claimants’
`questions. Id.
`e. The Temu customer service representative was not willing, and
`admitted that he had no authority, to receive or make any settlement
`offers. Id.
`f. At the end of reading his questions, the Temu customer service
`representative read a scripted threat: any continued action against
`Temu would be countered with sanctions against the consumer. Id.
`Temu therefore waived any argument that Petitioners are required to
`38.
`participate in the conferences since Temu consistently refused to participate in good
`faith during the conferences.

`

`Case 1:25-cv-01590-RER-VMS Document 1 Filed 03/21/25 Page 7 of 59 PageID #: 7
`
`39. Given Temu’s conduct, any additional conferences would be pointless
`and a waste of the parties’ time and resources. Temu has repeatedly shown that it has
`no intention to engage in good faith during the conferences.
`In any case, even if required, Petitioners satisfied the conference
`40.
`requirements by participating in the conferences on February 19, 2024. Ex. 6. Five
`Petitioners attended personally, and the remaining Petitioners attended through
`counsel. Id.
`
`The AAA Proceedings
`41. On March 27, 2024, Petitioners began filing their claims in the AAA. Ex.
`
`7.
`
` On April 12, 2024, Respondent submitted a letter, refusing to
`42.
`participate in the AAA proceedings because, according to Respondent, the parties had
`not satisfied the Agreements’ conference requirement. See Ex. 8.
` On April 19, 2024, Petitioners argued that the conference precondition
`43.
`was unenforceable but, in any case, that they had, in fact, satisfied the conference
`requirement. Ex. 9. Petitioners asked for an arbitrator to determine the issue. Id.
`44. On June 28, 2024, the AAA appointed Dana Welch to serve as a Process
`Arbitrator. Ex. 10.
`45. On July 26, 2024, the AAA Process Arbitrator requested the parties to
`brief the narrow issue of which must be decided first: (1) whether the conference
`provision was “enforceable,” a question for the arbitrator, or (2) whether the
`conference requirement was “satisfied,” a question for the court. Ex. 17.
`46. On August 23, 2024, Petitioners submitted their brief before the Process
`Arbitrator. Ex. 11; see also Ex. 14 (supplemental brief). Petitioners argued, among
`other things, that an arbitrator must first determine whether the condition precedent
`is enforceable before Temu can raise its arguments as to whether the condition had
`been “satisfied.” Id.

`

`

`Case 1:25-cv-01590-RER-VMS Document 1 Filed 03/21/25 Page 8 of 59 PageID #: 8
`
`47. On the same day, Respondent submitted its brief before the Process
`Arbitrator. Ex. 12; see also Ex. 13 (supplemental brief). Respondent argued that since
`it challenged whether the conference requirement had been satisfied under the
`Agreement, the issue is for a court to determine. Id.
`48. On September 19, 2024, the Process Arbitrator entered her ruling that
`a court must consider the issues before the claims can proceed further in the AAA. Ex.
`15.
`
`Request for Relief
`Therefore, Petitioners respectfully request that this Court enter an
`
`49.
`
`order:
`
`
`
`a. Compelling Respondent to arbitrate before the AAA all of the parties’
`disputes, including issues of enforceability, satisfaction, and waiver, of
`the Agreement’s condition precedent for the parties to engage in good
`faith pre-arbitration settlement conferences, or, in the alternative,
`compelling Respondent to arbitrate before the AAA all of the parties’
`disputes, and finding that the Agreement’s condition precedent for the
`parties to engage in good faith pre-arbitration settlement conferences is
`unenforceable or has been waived or satisfied; and
`b. For such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
