These are the rules you agree to when you use Bumble. By signing up, you give Bumble a permanent license to use anything you post, agree to resolve most disputes through arbitration rather than court, and accept that paid subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel. You have 30 days from agreeing to these terms to opt out of the arbitration clause if you want to keep your right to sue in court.
Technical Summary
Bumble's Terms and Conditions of Use govern access to and use of the Bumble dating application and website, establishing a binding contract between users and the Bumble Group. Key provisions include a mandatory binding arbitration clause with class action waiver (Section 14), automatic subscription renewal terms, a broad perpetual royalty-free content license granted to Bumble over user-uploaded content, and Bumble's discretionary right to suspend or terminate accounts without prior notice or refund. The document also incorporates Community Guidelines by reference, addresses DMCA compliance, and contains jurisdiction-specific provisions for EU users (Digital Services Act rights) and California subscribers (three-day cancellation/refund window).
If you have a dispute with Bumble, you must resolve it through private arbitration rather than going to court, and you cannot join a class action lawsuit with other users. You have 30 days after agreeing to these Terms to opt out.
When you upload photos, text, or other content to Bumble, you give Bumble a permanent, worldwide, free license to use, copy, modify, distribute, and display that content in any way, including in advertising.
Bumble can suspend or terminate your account at any time, for any reason it deems fit, without giving you notice and without issuing a refund for any paid subscription time remaining.
If you subscribe to a paid Bumble plan, it will automatically renew at the end of your subscription period at the current price unless you cancel before the renewal date.
If you are a California subscriber, you can cancel your subscription and get a full refund any time before midnight on the third business day after you subscribed.
You must be at least 18 years old to use Bumble, and Bumble actively monitors for underage users and will suspend or terminate accounts it suspects belong to minors.
If you live in the EU, you have extra rights when Bumble takes action against your account or content, including access to out-of-court dispute resolution and the right to complain to your local regulator.
Bumble complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, meaning it will remove content that infringes copyright when properly notified, and it can act on your behalf to send takedown notices if your content is stolen.
