What it is

Section 10.6(b) and (c) state that individual US-based users (not business users) must resolve all disputes with Anyscale through binding individual arbitration administered by the AAA, with the arbitrator empowered to determine jurisdiction questions, and class or representative actions are not permitted.

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision requires individual US-based users to submit all disputes to AAA arbitration on an individual basis, precluding class or representative proceedings, while business and organizational users are subject to California court jurisdiction under Section 10.5 rather than arbitration.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Close Your Account
    Within 30 days
    If you receive notice of an amendment to the arbitration agreement and do not agree to the updated terms, close your Anyscale account within 30 days of the notice to avoid being bound by the amended arbitration terms, as stated in Section 10.6(i).

If You Do Nothing

⚠ If an individual user does not close their account within 30 days of receiving notice of an arbitration agreement amendment, the amended terms will apply to future disputes as stated in the agreement.

⚠ Disputes will proceed through individual binding arbitration as stated, rather than through court proceedings or class actions, if the user continues using the service.
