Users who forget to cancel will be automatically charged for another subscription period, and refunds may not be available after renewal has occurred.
Consumer impact
Grindr's Terms of Service significantly affect users' legal rights by requiring mandatory individual arbitration and waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits, which limits how users can seek legal remedies. Users also grant Grindr a broad, royalty-free license to use their content, and the platform retains wide discretion to suspend or terminate accounts. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Grindr within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.
What you can do
⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
Cancel Subscription
Open your device's App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android), navigate to Subscriptions, find Grindr, and cancel before your next renewal date. Cancellation through the app store is required — cancelling within Grindr itself is not sufficient.
Applicable agencies
