Why it matters

Users should not rely on Calm's meditation or sleep content as a replacement for medical advice or treatment, even though the app markets itself for health and wellness benefits.

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 monitors health and wellness app claims for truth in advertising; the medical disclaimer may be relevant if Calm's marketing makes implied health benefit claims that contradict the disclaimer.
