Why it matters

Parents should know that minors using Chegg are subject to the same terms, including arbitration waivers and data collection practices, and parental consent is required for users under 18.

Consumer impact

Chegg's terms significantly limit consumers' legal options by requiring mandatory binding arbitration and waiving class action rights, meaning users cannot sue Chegg in court or join group lawsuits. Subscriptions auto-renew and Chegg limits its financial liability to the amount paid in the prior six months, capping potential compensation in disputes. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending a written notice to Chegg within 30 days of agreeing to the terms.
