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.

The clause modifies the procedural forum for dispute resolution by mandating arbitration as the exclusive mechanism and restricts the structure of claims to individual matters only, which affects how disputes are adjudicated and what remedies are available through the established process.
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.

"This Arbitration Agreement requires you and Bumble Group to resolve disputes by binding arbitration instead of in court, and limits the manner in which we may seek relief from each other... (1) you will only be permitted to pursue claims and seek relief against us on an individual basis only; and (2) you are waiving your right to seek relief in a court of law and to have a jury trial on your claims.— Excerpt from Bumble's Bumble Terms and Conditions
