Unilateral Terms Modification

Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

You can be bound by new legal terms simply by continuing to use the app, even if you did not actively read or agree to the changes.

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.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC may review unilateral contract modification practices as potentially unfair or deceptive to consumers under Section 5 of the FTC Act.
