Can an 8-year-old waive their rights to sue a company by clicking a box?

    Minors can’t waive rights. Or, in theory they can’t waive rights because they don’t have capacity. That’s my understanding

      In my country nobody can waive rights, by default no contract is able to take any rights from you
