The primary substantive change moves the arbitration requirement from a separate document into the explicit acceptance requirement at the outset of the terms.
Consumers: By using SoFi or getting any SoFi product, you agree that disputes will be resolved through arbitration, not court.
The updated terms state that acceptance of SoFi's Arbitration Agreement is now an explicit requirement to use the SoFi Site or obtain any SoFi product or service. Previously, the arbitration requirement may have been referenced separately or implied through other agreements. The revised language clarifies that by using SoFi's platform, users consent to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than through court proceedings. This means disputes must proceed through individual arbitration as outlined in SoFi's Arbitration Agreement, subject to its terms and conditions.
