Paramount+ replaced a simple landing page with a full Terms of Use document effective May 27, 2025. The new terms define the service scope, establish the geographic territory covered (US and territories), and introduce mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions. This means disputes with Paramount+ must go through binding arbitration rather than court, and users cannot participate in class action lawsuits.
The updated terms now require all disputes with Paramount+ to be resolved through binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, and prohibit participation in class action lawsuits. This means individual users cannot join group litigation against the company and must pursue disputes through a private arbitration process, which may be more costly and less transparent than court proceedings. If you disagree with these terms, you should review the full arbitration section before continuing to use the service.
The addition of mandatory arbitration and class action waiver clauses fundamentally changes how consumers can resolve disputes with Paramount+, shifting from potential court proceedings to private arbitration and eliminating the possibility of joining group lawsuits. These are material changes to consumer legal rights and protections.
→ Review the full arbitration clause in Section 18 of the updated Terms of Use before accepting.
→ Consider whether you agree to binding arbitration and waiver of class action rights; if not, discontinue use of the service.
→ You will be bound by mandatory arbitration if any dispute arises with Paramount+.
→ You forfeit the right to participate in any class action lawsuit against the company.
→ Dispute resolution may be more expensive and less transparent than court proceedings.
All disputes except small claims are subject to binding arbitration; class action lawsuits are prohibited.

You cannot join a group lawsuit with other users; any dispute must be pursued individually through arbitration.
Paramount+ introduced mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions in its Terms of Use effective May 27, 2025. These clauses substantially alter dispute resolution procedures and may engage FTC standards regarding unfair or deceptive practices under the FTC Act, particularly if arbitration terms are deemed substantively unconscionable or if disclosure is inadequate. Organizations using Paramount+ as a vendor should assess whether these dispute resolution terms affect their own customer-facing policies, vendor contracts, or liability frameworks. Some state courts have enforced such provisions while others have found them unenforceable under state law; enforceability depends on jurisdiction and specific contract language.
