This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Bumble's Terms and Conditions establish the binding contractual framework governing user access to and use of the Bumble platform, including provisions regarding user-generated content, account management, subscription services, and dispute resolution. The agreement grants Bumble a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use photos and profile content submitted by users. The terms require that disputes arising from the agreement be resolved through binding arbitration rather than litigation, and prohibit class action lawsuits.
This document governs use of the Bumble dating application and associated services, establishing a contract between users and Bumble Group (Bumble Inc. and its affiliates) under Texas law for US users, with jurisdiction-specific carve-outs for EU, UK, and other markets. The terms authorize Bumble to grant users a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license over uploaded content, reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts at sole discretion without notice or refund, and require binding individual arbitration for most disputes with a 30-day opt-out window. Notably, the content license is perpetual and sublicensable to affiliates and successors without further user approval, the arbitration clause includes a class action waiver, and account termination for conduct on third-party apps operated by Bumble affiliates is asserted as grounds for suspension, which extends Bumble's enforcement reach beyond its own platform. The terms engage GDPR and the EU Digital Services Act for EU users, CCPA for California residents, COPPA for age-restricted access, and the FTC Act for consumer protection matters; EU and UK users receive materially distinct procedural rights including access to out-of-court dispute resolution and regulatory complaint mechanisms not available to US users. California subscribers are expressly provided a three-business-day cancellation and refund right, and arbitration opt-out procedures create a compliance trigger requiring timely written notice within 30 days of first use.
