Impact Summary

High Negative for users
Affected users
All users US users

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.

2 new obligations

Consumers: You agree that you cannot take Paramount+ to court; instead, any disagreement will be decided by a private arbitrator.

Consumers: You cannot join a group lawsuit with other users; any dispute must be pursued individually through arbitration.

What this means for you

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.

What you can do

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.
