You cannot participate in or lead a class action lawsuit against Indeed, even if many users have experienced the same harm.

Class actions are often the only practical way for individuals to pursue small-value claims against large companies. This waiver eliminates that option, which may leave users without a practical legal remedy for widespread but low-dollar harms.
The updated terms establish new explicit tax obligations for users. Indeed now states it will calculate and bill applicable taxes based on user location or linked employer location, and users are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or levies. Additionally, the terms now state that reducing or canceling sponsored ad budgets will result in loss of access to premium features exclusive to higher budget plans. Previously, the agreement described auto-apply activity as a pricing factor; this reference has been removed from the pricing methodology section.
View change record →If Indeed's practices harm a large number of users in similar ways, such as through a data breach or systematic service failure, each user must pursue their claim individually rather than collectively. For most users, the cost of individual arbitration will exceed the value of any potential recovery, which functionally limits recourse.

"YOU AND INDEED AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.— Excerpt from Indeed's Indeed Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Class action waivers in consumer contracts engage the FTC Act and have been the subject of regulatory guidance and proposed rulemaking. The National Labor Relations Board has also weighed in on class action waivers in employment-adjacent contexts. In California, the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) may provide an alternative collective mechanism that cannot be waived in certain employment-related contexts, though Indeed's users are typically consumers rather than employees. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The waiver applies to all users and substantially limits collective redress mechanisms. Combined with the arbitration clause, it creates a near-complete barrier to representative litigation. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California courts have at times found class action waivers in consumer contracts to be unconscionable or contrary to public policy. EU users may not be bound by this waiver under applicable consumer protection directives. UK users similarly may have stronger statutory rights that override contractual waivers of collective redress. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: For employers using Indeed's paid services, this clause affects their ability to pursue collective claims related to billing disputes, service failures, or data mishandling. B2B contracts may have separate terms. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the class action waiver is adequately disclosed in user onboarding flows and whether it is enforceable in all jurisdictions where Indeed operates. EU and UK compliance teams should determine whether local consumer law renders this provision inapplicable to users in those regions.
