Summary

By simply using any Best Buy website, app, or related service, you automatically agree to these Terms — no sign-up required. If you ever have a dispute with Best Buy, you generally must resolve it through individual arbitration rather than a lawsuit or class action, and you waive the right to a jury trial. Best Buy can change these Terms at any time without telling you, and any AI-generated explanation of the Terms that differs from the official text has no legal effect.

Analysis

Best Buy's Terms of Use establish the conditions under which any use of Best Buy Properties constitutes binding acceptance of the Terms, with no requirement for explicit consent beyond mere use. The document imposes a personal, noncommercial use restriction on all properties; a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license over any user-submitted content; and a broad disclaimer of warranties on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis, with liability excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for indirect, incidental, and consequential damages. Dispute resolution is governed by a binding arbitration agreement encompassing a broadly defined class of claims, a class action waiver, and a jury trial waiver, subject to a mandatory 60-day informal resolution period before arbitration may be initiated. Best Buy reserves the right to modify the Terms at any time without notice, and any term generated by AI or other technologies that deviates from the official Terms is void and non-binding.

What this means for you

Using Best Buy's properties in any way binds you to these Terms, including provisions that waive your right to participate in class actions and jury trials and require you to attempt informal resolution for 60 days before initiating arbitration. Any content you submit to Best Buy is covered by a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license that you cannot revoke. Best Buy makes no warranties about its properties or content and excludes liability for indirect, incidental, and consequential damages to the fullest extent permitted by law. Because Best Buy may change the Terms at any time without notice, regularly reviewing the current Terms is the only way to remain aware of your obligations.

2 important changes detected

4 versions captured · Last updated: July 2026

What changed Best Buy removed two sentences from its Terms of Use that directed users to the Help Center for answers about orders, returns, and product information. The removed text was a navigation reference offering assistance through that resource. This change eliminates a specific pathway users were directed to for common support questions, though Best Buy's Help Center itself and other support mechanisms remain available.
Why this matters The updated terms no longer include language directing users to the Help Center for answers about orders, product information, and returns. This is a removal of a navigational reference within the terms rather than a change to substantive policy or user rights. The Help Center remains accessible to users independently of the terms.

Why this matters The updated terms establish that using any Best Buy Property constitutes acceptance of the terms. Best Buy reserves the right to modify the terms at any time and without advance notice to users. The terms state that it is the user's responsibility to review the terms for updates or changes.
