Why it matters

Class actions allow many consumers to pool resources to challenge corporate misconduct — waiving this right means each person must pursue claims individually, which is often impractical for small-dollar disputes.

Consumer impact

Hinge users must submit almost all legal disputes to binding arbitration and waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits, significantly limiting legal recourse against the company. Subscriptions automatically renew and Hinge reserves the right to change subscription features at any time without offering refunds in most cases. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to legal@hinge.co 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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Within 30 days
    To preserve class action rights, opt out of the arbitration agreement by emailing legal@hinge.co within 30 days of agreeing to the Terms, stating your name, account email, and intention to opt out.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has authority to review consumer contract terms that restrict group legal action as potentially unfair or deceptive practices.
