Summary

These Terms govern how you use Chegg's services and what rights you and Chegg each have. If you submit content to Chegg, you give Chegg a permanent, irrevocable right to use it, and Chegg can close your account at any time without explanation or notice. If you have a dispute with Chegg, you must resolve it through individual arbitration rather than court—unless you send Chegg written notice within 30 days of first receiving these Terms.

Analysis

Chegg's Terms of Use establish the contractual framework governing user access to and interaction with the Services. Users who submit content grant Chegg and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, and fully sublicensable license covering all copyright, trademark, publicity, and database rights in that content. Chegg retains sole discretion to terminate any account without cause or notice, and limits its own liability through both a categorical exclusion of indirect, consequential, and incidental damages and a damages cap set at the greater of amounts paid in the prior six months or $250. All disputes are subject to mandatory individual binding arbitration, with class and collective action waivers applicable to both parties, and a 30-day opt-out window allows users to elect court litigation upon written notice to Chegg following first receipt of the Terms.

What this means for you

Using Chegg's services means accepting that any content you submit is licensed to Chegg permanently and irrevocably, with no ability to withdraw that permission later. Fees paid are non-refundable after cancellation unless a different policy was disclosed at purchase, and the maximum you could ever recover from Chegg for any harm is the greater of what you paid in the past six months or $250. If you prefer to resolve disputes in court rather than through binding individual arbitration, you must send Chegg written notice of that choice within 30 days of first receiving these Terms.
