Paramount+ replaced a simple 'coming soon' landing page with a full Terms of Use agreement dated May 27, 2025, effective April 19, 2026. The new terms introduce a mandatory arbitration clause and class action waiver, meaning users give up their right to sue Paramount+ in court or join a class-action lawsuit over disputes. This is a significant shift from having no binding terms to having terms that substantially limit users' legal options.
Paramount+ has moved from a placeholder page to full Terms of Use that include a binding arbitration clause and class action waiver, meaning users can no longer sue Paramount+ in court or participate in class-action lawsuits against the company. This significantly limits the legal remedies available to consumers who experience harm from the service. You can review Section 18 of the new Terms of Use to understand the arbitration opt-out procedure, if one is provided.
If you have a dispute with Paramount+, you cannot take them to court — you must go through a private arbitration process instead.
You cannot band together with other users to sue Paramount+ as a group — each dispute must be handled individually.

Unlock — $9.99/mo →The introduction of mandatory arbitration and a class action waiver fundamentally changes how users can seek legal recourse against Paramount+ — shifting power significantly toward the company. Users who continue to use the service after April 19, 2026 are presumed to accept these terms and forfeit their right to court-based remedies.
Users must resolve all disputes with Paramount+ through binding arbitration, not in court, except for small claims.
Users explicitly waive the right to participate in class-action lawsuits against Paramount+.
The service is now formally identified as provided by CBS Interactive Inc., establishing the legal counterparty for all users.

Paramount+ published a full Terms of Use on April 19, 2026, replacing a placeholder page. The terms include a mandatory binding arbitration clause and class action waiver (Section 18), covering users in the US including all territories. This touches FTC Act unfair or deceptive acts standards, state consumer protection laws, and the enforceability of arbitration clauses under the Federal Arbitration Act. Compliance and legal teams should review Section 18 for opt-out windows and ensure any enterprise or vendor agreements referencing Paramount+ service terms are updated.
1. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) — mandatory arbitration clause must meet enforceability standards; courts scrutinize conspicuousness and opt-out rights.
