A good attorney could argue that drilling a hole in the side of the carton does not constitute opening the package.

The cap also says "by using", so you have been outlawyered. You've been had. You have forfeited all your rights. You are now a property of Big Protein. Better luck next time.
By opening AND using.
A good lawyer would surely argue that they didn’t open and use it.
Can claim negligence if that label is entirely removed prior to use, just say that it wasn’t there when you used it.
That's concerning.
Interesting how we've all become accustomed to the notion that "agreeing to arbitration" has just become "waving your consumer rights" and no lawmaker is pushing to have that fixed.
no lawmaker is pushing to have that fixed.

Was reintroduced several times, Passed the house once. Republicans keep killing it in committee.
There's also the Justice for workers Act specifically for work l employee force arbitration, more recently
Because 98% of them are on the corporations' side because they practice insider trading.

Obvious solution is to not only return that one, but then go to a different brand of store, buy a bunch, then return them the next day. Repeat for each kind of store you can reach that sells them.
At the board meeting, I want to hear when they decided to broadcast that they're expecting to get sued, but in a really cute way
Now that it's opened slightly, return it "immediately"
Shit like this is rarely enforceable but in order to find out, you need to have money.
What I like to do is clap back and send them my own terms and conditions, with the stipulation that if they don't write back, then they are accepting them.

That's how you KNOW they're putting sawdust and filler in their products.

One full of toxic heavy metals.

Telling us the product so we could avoid it would be useful.
Other people are saying it's Vital Proteins, apparently.

"I went to the url but it was just a 404, honest. No terms, no conditions"
Make your own opening elsewhere on the package.
You're still opening it.
But if you have your friend open it, then you are not opening and consuming the product.
Of course, with such draconian rules, one should not drink that stuff anyway.
This is what I imagine buying kratom is like
Not really. They just hand you the powder in a pouch and say "that'll be $16.42, please".
Open it. Return it. Repeat.
Some one should sue them for the maximum highest costs calculable for the travel time of having to return their products buying a new substitute brand, and going back home + legal fees.
Then that person should buy the product again to see if there's still an agreement in place, and sue them again.
return it after opening and consuming. the text does not say if you do not agree do not open. nor does it say you can’t agree, open, then disagree.
