You cannot join with other Lime users to bring a group lawsuit or class action. Any legal claim must be brought by you alone.
This analysis describes what Lime's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Class actions allow many consumers with small individual harms to combine claims into a meaningful lawsuit. This waiver means each person must pursue their claim separately, which is often economically impractical for small losses.
If Lime harms a large number of users in a small way, such as through an overcharge or a data issue, each user must individually pursue their claim rather than participating in a group lawsuit, which makes seeking remedies for minor harms practically difficult.

"YOU AND LIME 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 Lime's Lime Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Class action waivers in consumer arbitration agreements are generally enforceable in the US under the Supreme Court's interpretation of the FAA. However, California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) have historically created exceptions for certain employment and consumer claims. In the EU, class action waivers in consumer contracts are generally not recognized as enforceable. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The waiver is a broad prohibition on representative proceedings and applies in conjunction with the arbitration clause. Its enforceability in the US is generally strong post-AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, but state-level carve-outs exist. EU operations expose Lime to collective redress mechanisms under the EU Representative Actions Directive. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California PAGA claims and similar public enforcement mechanisms may not be fully waivable even under a class action waiver clause. EU member states implementing the Representative Actions Directive permit qualifying entities to bring collective consumer actions regardless of contractual waivers. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Insurance and indemnification structures should account for the possibility that class action waivers are invalidated in key markets, creating potential for aggregate liability exposure. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should monitor evolving state legislation on class action waivers and assess whether any pending regulatory action in operating jurisdictions requires modification of this clause.
