Auto-Renewal Subscription

Why it matters

If you forget to cancel in time, you will be charged for another full subscription period with no right to a refund.

Consumer impact

Calm's Terms significantly affect consumers' legal rights by requiring individual arbitration for most disputes and waiving the right to participate in class actions, which limits consumers' ability to seek collective redress. Subscriptions auto-renew without a right to refund, and Calm can change prices with notice but no guaranteed right to a refund if you disagree. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending a written opt-out notice to Calm within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
