Why it matters

Any content you share in connection with Calm — including social media posts tagging Calm — can be used by Calm for marketing and commercial purposes without your additional consent or compensation.

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.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC oversees endorsement and testimonial practices; broad content licenses that allow companies to use consumer likenesses in marketing without additional disclosure may implicate FTC guidelines.
