The Note9 Terms & Conditions include a standard arbitration clause, but you can opt out within 30 days of purchase:

You may opt out of this [Arbitration] Agreement by providing notice to Samsung no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the Product. To opt out, you must send notice by e-mail to optout@sea.samsung.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out.” You must include in the opt-out email (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the Product was purchased; (c) the Product model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable

Yup. And the carriers often have a separate opt-out for arbitration.

Arbitration usually means somebody having to arbitrate, that costs bank. Even small claims is a PITA.

This.

The ToS wording came more into focus after the Note 7 ordeal.
