Why it matters

This means Chegg can use your submitted content in any way it chooses, including for commercial purposes, without paying you or asking permission again.

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.

Applicable agencies
