This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This document establishes the Terms of Use governing Glassdoor.com and Fishbowlapp.com, covering user-generated content, account conduct, and dispute resolution procedures. The agreement authorizes Glassdoor to use, modify, and distribute user-posted content globally on a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide basis for any purpose, including commercial purposes. The terms require users to resolve disputes through individual arbitration and waive participation in class action lawsuits unless they submit written opt-out notice to Glassdoor within 30 days of first accepting the agreement.
This document governs user access to and use of Glassdoor LLC's services, including Glassdoor.com and Fishbowlapp.com, on the legal basis of a binding contract formed upon account creation or continued use, with the incorporated Privacy Policy forming part of the agreement. The terms assert that users grant Glassdoor a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display any content they submit, and that Glassdoor may remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts at its discretion without prior notice. The arbitration clause requires individual binding arbitration for most disputes, waives class action rights, and applies a 30-day opt-out window from the date of first acceptance, which represents a significant limitation on users' access to courts; the terms also include a mutual limitation of liability capped at amounts paid to Glassdoor or USD 100, whichever is greater. The document engages GDPR for EU/EEA users and CCPA for California residents through its incorporated Privacy Policy, and the arbitration and class action waiver provisions interact with consumer protection frameworks enforced by the FTC and relevant State Attorneys General, with enforceability of certain provisions potentially varying by jurisdiction. Material compliance considerations include the breadth of the content license, the scope of Glassdoor's discretionary account termination authority, and the adequacy of consent mechanisms for arbitration opt-out across different user geographies.
