The updated terms identify Indeed, Inc. as the legal entity responsible for Glassdoor services, which affects where legal claims or notices must be directed. The terms now provide detailed procedures for copyright infringement claims under the DMCA, requiring claimants to submit specific information and contact an Indeed copyright department address. Users can opt out of the mandatory arbitration agreement by submitting a signed notice to the registered agent at the specified California address, though opting out does not affect other terms or previous arbitration agreements. The removal of the April 20, 2026 deadline for legacy login transition means that date-specific enforcement pressure has been eliminated, though the terms continue to authorize Indeed account login requirements.
