Replit's updated Terms of Service, effective August 3, 2026, introduces mandatory arbitration with a class action waiver, requires individual dispute resolution unless users opt out within 30 days, and waives jury trial rights. The agreement also lowers the minimum age from 'adult' to 13 years old (with parental consent for users under 18), adds new privacy obligations for users who publish content that collects personal information, removes language permitting Replit to use user content to improve the Service, and expands prohibited conduct to include threats or incitement to violence.

3 new obligations 1 obligation expanded 1 protection removed

All users: You must resolve disputes with Replit through arbitration, not in court, unless you submit a written opt-out notice within 30 days.

All users: You cannot join or start a class action lawsuit against Replit, and disputes must be resolved individually.

Content creators and developers: If your published content collects personal data from others, you must follow privacy laws, get their consent, and let them access or delete their data.

Consumers: Younger users (13-17) can now use Replit with parental consent, whereas previously only adults could use the platform.

All users: Replit can no longer use your code or projects to improve its own platform; it can only host and share your content as you permit.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms establish mandatory arbitration for all disputes, with a 30-day opt-out window from the date you first agree to the new terms. Unless you opt out, you waive your right to resolve disputes in court or before a jury, and you cannot participate in class actions or consolidated claims. The agreement also lowers the minimum age to 13 years old (with parental consent for users under 18), expanding who can use the platform. If you publish content that collects personal information from others, you are now responsible for complying with applicable privacy laws, obtaining user consent, and providing privacy notices. You can opt out of arbitration by submitting a written notice to Replit within 30 days of first agreeing to these updated terms.

Previous text
The updated terms establish mandatory individual arbitration for all disputes with Replit, eliminating the right to bring claims in court or as part of a class action. You waive your right to a jury trial by accepting these terms. The minimum age to use the Service is now explicitly set at 13 years old; if you are under 18, you must have parental consent, and your parent or guardian becomes subject to these Terms by allowing you to use the Service. If you publish content that collects personal data from others, you are now explicitly responsible for complying with all applicable privacy laws, obtaining necessary consents, providing required notices, and enabling users to access, correct, or delete their data. You can opt out of the arbitration requirement within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms.
