Users who forget to cancel before renewal will be charged for another billing period, and refunds are not generally available after the renewal charge is processed.
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
β οΈ 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
To cancel a subscription purchased directly through Hinge, contact hello@hinge.co before your renewal date. If you subscribed via Apple App Store, cancel through your Apple ID account settings. If via Google Play, cancel through the Google Play app.
Applicable agencies
FTC
The FTC regulates negative option and auto-renewal practices under its Negative Option Rule and Section 5 of the FTC Act, requiring clear disclosure and easy cancellation.
California and other states have specific auto-renewal laws that may impose additional disclosure and cancellation requirements beyond federal standards.
