disaffirmance of judgement

Annulment of a contract or obligation, such as one agreed by someone who was underage at the time, and has attained age of majority.

In this case, the six children who signed on to Epic’s end user license agreement, which contains the arbitration clause, claim that by filing the lawsuit they have disaffirmed the agreement and that they are no longer bound by it.
