This means users outside California who want to take Headspace to court — if the arbitration clause is unenforceable — may need to litigate in California, which can be costly and impractical for users in other states or countries.
Headspace's Terms require all users to resolve disputes through binding arbitration rather than court, waiving rights to jury trials and class action participation — a significant restriction for users of a mental health platform handling sensitive psychological data. The auto-renewal clause means subscriptions renew automatically and charges apply unless cancelled before the renewal date, with no guaranteed refund after renewal. You can opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver by emailing legalnotices@headspace.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
