Analysis

GOAT's Terms of Use establish the conditions under which users may access and use the Service, imposing binding arbitration on an individual basis with a class action waiver and a thirty-day written opt-out window. The document grants GOAT a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to user-submitted content with sublicensing rights, and requires users to indemnify GOAT and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives for claims arising from their use of the Service. GOAT disclaims all implied warranties and excludes liability for compensatory, consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, and punitive damages. GOAT reserves the right, in its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to modify, discontinue, or terminate the Service and the Terms at any time.

What this means for you

As a GOAT user, you are bound to resolve disputes through individual binding arbitration and waive the right to participate in a class action. If you want to opt out of the arbitration agreement, you must email termsofuse@goat.com in writing within thirty days of first becoming subject to the arbitration provision — missing that deadline eliminates the opt-out right. Content you submit is licensed to GOAT on a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual basis, meaning you cannot reclaim control over it later. You are also responsible for defending and indemnifying GOAT against claims connected to your use of the Service, and GOAT excludes liability for the most significant categories of damages a user might otherwise seek.
