The updated terms establish a carve-out from mandatory arbitration for sexual assault and sexual harassment claims, allowing those disputes to proceed outside arbitration. The revised geographic restrictions now apply to all services rather than textbook rentals alone, and users must certify upon registration that they are not on US restricted-persons lists and comply with US export laws. For users of AI-Assisted Features, the terms clarify that inputs remain subject to Chegg's content license and training use rights, and explicitly state that personal or confidential information submitted despite warnings will be handled per the Privacy Policy but remains subject to these licensing terms. You can review the full updated terms and, if you have concerns about arbitration, determine whether the sexual assault and harassment carve-out applies to your situation.
