Summary
These terms govern your use of Bumble and set out important rules: Bumble can terminate or suspend your account at its sole discretion, all payments are generally nonrefundable, and disputes must be resolved through individual arbitration rather than court, meaning you also give up the right to join a class action. Subscriptions renew automatically at Bumble's then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Analysis
This document establishes the binding terms under which Bumble permits access to its platform, including a minimum age requirement of 18 (or the applicable age of majority), broad restrictions on prohibited content including illegal, harmful, or defamatory material, and an extensive liability exclusion covering all categories of damages with a $100 fallback cap if any exclusion is found invalid or unenforceable. Users are required to indemnify and defend Bumble and a wide range of affiliated entities against third-party claims. The document mandates binding individual arbitration in lieu of court proceedings, includes mutual class action and jury trial waivers, and grants Bumble sole discretion to terminate or suspend accounts and restrict access by any available means. All charges are generally nonrefundable, including charges for partially used periods and amounts already paid at the time of any account termination or suspension, and automatically renewing subscriptions renew at Bumble's then-current price unless the user cancels.
What this means for you
As a Bumble user, you give up the ability to sue Bumble in court or join a class action, because all disputes must go through individual binding arbitration. Even if a court finds Bumble's broader liability exclusions unenforceable, your maximum recovery from Bumble is capped at $100. Payments you make are generally nonrefundable, and if your account is terminated or suspended you forfeit any pre-paid value without a refund. You are also personally responsible for indemnifying and defending Bumble and its affiliates against any third-party claims arising from your use of the service. If you have an active subscription, you can avoid being charged the then-current renewal price by canceling before the end of your current subscription period.

What changed
Bumble revised the BeePitched feature terms on June 18, 2026. The updated language repositions BeePitched as a user-controlled content generation tool rather than a pitch-sharing mechanism, removes the concept of co-pitchers and shared contributions, and explicitly states that Bumble does not host or distribute completed pitches after generation. The terms now impose clearer user responsibility for all pitch content creation and sharing, establish that Bumble retains content only for the period necessary to generate and moderate pitches (generally 24 hours post-download, 7 days if not completed), and reserve Bumble's right to review, moderate, and restrict access to content that violates the terms or community guidelines.
Why this matters
The updated terms reframe BeePitched from a collaborative pitch-sharing feature to a standalone content generation and distribution tool under user control. Users are now solely responsible for obtaining permissions, ensuring content legality, and distributing completed pitches themselves. Bumble clarifies it does not host or distribute pitches after generation and retains content only briefly (24 hours post-download, 7 days if not completed) for moderation purposes. Bumble reserves the right to review, refuse to generate, remove, or restrict access to any content that violates the terms or community guidelines, and may suspend access to the feature if misuse is identified.

What changed
Bumble updated its Terms and Conditions on May 19, 2026 to clarify account deletion procedures, expand the scope of content visibility language, restrict its content licensing rights to distribution within the app rather than the general public, and add explicit disclosure of five account verification scenarios. The most significant change narrows the company's stated right to distribute user content from the general public to other users of the app when they are using the app, and adds new language explaining when and why the company may request account verification.
Why this matters
The updated terms state that Bumble's license to use your uploaded content is now limited to distribution to other app users when they are using the app, rather than the previously stated right to make content available to the general public. This represents a narrowing of the company's stated rights over user content. Additionally, the terms now explicitly disclose five scenarios in which Bumble may request account verification: to prevent fake accounts and fraud, to confirm age compliance in certain jurisdictions, to detect unusual account access, to prevent payment fraud, and to enforce community guidelines. The terms also clarify that uninstalling the app does not delete your account, and you must manually follow account deletion steps to permanently remove it.
