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

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.

What changed Best Buy updated its Terms of Use to add a new Digital Agent section that establishes rules for automated software and AI systems interacting with its website and services on behalf of users. The updated terms also substantially revised its arbitration procedures, changing from American Arbitration Association (AAA) administration to JAMS, adding new requirements for dispute notices and arbitration demands (including personal signatures and expanded documentation), clarifying the scope of arbitrable disputes, and modifying the fallback arbitration provider process.
Why this matters The updated terms establish a new regulatory framework for Digital Agents (AI and automated software) accessing Best Buy's website and services. Users who authorize Digital Agents must ensure they identify themselves in HTTP requests, comply with Best Buy's published guidelines, and operate transparently without mimicking human behavior or circumventing security mechanisms like CAPTCHAs. Best Buy reserves the right to limit, restrict, suspend, block, or ban any Digital Agent at its sole discretion for any or no reason and with or without notice. Additionally, the revised arbitration procedures now require dispute notices to be personally signed by the initiating party and their counsel (if represented), include specific documentation such as purchase receipts and interaction details, and be filed through JAMS rather than AAA. These changes materially alter how disputes are initiated and processed, imposing stricter procedural requirements before arbitration can commence.
