Account Sharing Household Restriction

Why it matters

Hulu reserves the right to unilaterally determine whether your account is being used outside your household based on its own analysis of usage patterns, and can limit or terminate your access without warning if it concludes you are in violation.

Consumer impact

Hulu subscribers are locked into automatic recurring billing with no refunds for unused subscription periods, meaning cancelling even one day late results in a full additional charge. The Agreement also waives your right to join a class action lawsuit against Hulu, forcing any dispute into individual binding arbitration which statistically favors large corporations. You can cancel your Hulu subscription at www.hulu.com/account by clicking 'Cancel' before 11:59 PM ET on the day before your next billing date.
