Fireworks AI's updated Terms of Service, detected on July 8, 2026, introduces two major dispute resolution mechanisms: mandatory individual arbitration for all disputes and a class action/jury trial waiver. The prior version (which appears to have been unreadable or unavailable in the comparison) did not include these explicit provisions. Under the updated terms, users waive their right to pursue disputes in court or as part of a class action and must instead resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration.
Consumers: If you have a problem with Fireworks AI, you must use arbitration to resolve it instead of going to court.
Consumers: You cannot join together with other users to sue Fireworks AI as a group; you can only pursue individual arbitration.
Consumers: You cannot request a jury to hear your case; disputes will be decided by an arbitrator instead.
The updated terms establish mandatory individual arbitration as the exclusive mechanism for resolving all disputes between you and Fireworks AI, including disputes that may have arisen before you agreed to these terms. The agreement also requires you to waive your right to seek relief in court, to have a jury trial, or to participate in any class action, collective, or representative proceeding. You can opt out of the arbitration provision by following the instructions provided in Section 16 of the terms.
→ Review Section 16 of the updated Terms of Service to understand the arbitration agreement and class action waiver.
→ Follow the opt-out instructions provided in Section 16 if you wish to preserve your right to pursue disputes in court rather than through arbitration.
All disputes between user and Fireworks AI must be resolved through final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, excluding court proceedings.
Users expressly waive the right to jury trial, class action, and any representative or collective proceeding.
