We promise we won't do anything illegal and worth suing us over, so just waive your right to sue us!

This is a massive oversight in a country's code of law.

Preventing others from bringing you to justice via lawsuits implies to me they intend to do something illegal.

You could be charitable and say arbitration is a cost saving mechanism for lawsuits you successfully defend yourself from (the loser doesn't pay your legal fees in some countries).
