Companies change their terms quietly. We read every version and catch what actually changed. One email a week on the changes that matter and what they mean.
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
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.
