“You must cancel your Recurring Subscription at least 24 hours before the end of your current subscription period to avoid being charged for the next subscription period.”
“you have the right to opt out of binding arbitration by providing Calm with written notice of your desire to do so by email at notices@calm.com within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms”
“the Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied...we explicitly disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement...”
“Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms...will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (a) to bring an individual action in small claims court...”
“you hereby grant to Calm a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free, license to use, store, publish, translate, reproduce, adapt, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, publicly display...your User Content...without compensation to you”
“These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. If any Dispute is not subject to arbitration...the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California will have exclusive jurisdiction.”
Calm's Terms set out the rules for using its app and services: you give Calm a free, worldwide license to use any content you submit, and Calm provides no warranties about service quality. Most disputes must go through binding individual arbitration rather than court, and if you cancel a subscription you are not entitled to a refund for the period already paid. You must cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next period.
Calm's Terms of Service establish the conditions under which users may access the Services, including age eligibility requirements (16 years minimum, with parental consent required for minors), a broad royalty-free license grant to Calm over User Content, and a complete disclaimer of warranties on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. Calm and its licensors retain exclusive ownership of all rights in the Services and their content. Liability is capped at the greater of amounts paid by the user or fifty U.S. dollars, with consequential, incidental, and exemplary damages excluded entirely. Dispute resolution is governed by binding individual arbitration under California law, with exclusive jurisdiction over non-arbitrable matters in the Northern District of California, subject to a 30-day opt-out right exercisable by written notice to notices@calm.com.
As a Calm user, you receive the Services with no warranty protections, and your ability to recover damages is capped at the greater of what you paid Calm or $50, with no recovery available for consequential or incidental losses. Any content you submit to the platform is licensed to Calm on a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable basis. You will not receive a refund upon cancellation, and you must cancel at least 24 hours before the end of your current subscription period to avoid being charged for the next one. If you wish to preserve your right to litigate disputes in court, you must email notices@calm.com to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.
