Summary

By accessing Affirm's website or using its services, you automatically agree to its Terms of Service and several other legal documents. Any transaction completed through an AI tool or automated process is treated as if you authorized it, including the financing terms. Affirm can change these terms at any time going forward, and if you want to keep the right to sue in court rather than arbitrate individually, you must send a signed written notice within 30 days of agreeing.

Analysis

The Affirm Terms of Service establishes the conditions under which users access Affirm's website and financing services, binding users to multiple ancillary agreements upon mere access or use. Affirm retains unilateral authority to amend the Agreement prospectively, and may close or limit accounts if users withdraw consent. The document requires individual-only arbitration with a 30-calendar-day opt-out window requiring signed written notice, and extends collection rights to amounts owed under any agreement with Affirm or a Bank Partner. Users bear full authorization responsibility for transactions executed through AI Tools or automated means, including acceptance of financing terms, and grant Affirm and its third-party providers a limited power of attorney to access, transmit, and use their information.

What this means for you

As an Affirm user, you are bound to the Terms of Service and related agreements simply by accessing the service, without a separate signature. Financing carries a fixed APR between 0% and 36% depending on your creditworthiness and product type, and Affirm charges no late fees. Any transaction an AI Tool or automated process completes on your behalf — including accepting financing terms — is treated as your authorized act. Affirm and its third-party providers hold a limited power of attorney to access and use your information. If you fail to make a payment under any agreement with Affirm or a Bank Partner, Affirm may pursue collection efforts. If you wish to opt out of mandatory individual arbitration, you must send a signed written notice to Affirm within 30 calendar days of agreeing to the Agreement.

What changed Affirm updated its mailing address for customer service requests across five different procedures in the Terms of Service. The previous address, 650 California St, Fl 12, San Francisco, CA 94108, has been replaced with 14039 Puritas Avenue, P.O. Box 35909, Cleveland, OH 44135.

Why this matters The updated Terms of Service now directs customers to a new mailing address in Cleveland, Ohio for all written customer service requests, including consent withdrawal and billing error disputes. The change does not alter the procedures for making these requests or the underlying customer rights; it only specifies where written correspondence must be sent.

What changed Affirm updated its terms of service on June 2, 2026 to reorganize how it describes its products and features to users. The previous version listed shopping categories and app features, while the updated version restructures the presentation to highlight the Affirm Card, browser extension, digital wallet integration, and shopping capabilities. This change appears to be primarily informational and organizational rather than a substantive modification to user rights or obligations.
Why this matters This change does not materially alter consumer rights, obligations, or how Affirm's payment services function. The updated terms reorganize how Affirm describes its products—including the Affirm Card, browser extension, and digital wallet compatibility—but do not modify the substantive terms under which consumers use these services. Consumers' existing obligations and protections remain unchanged.
