This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Netflix gives you a limited right to use the service for personal, household viewing only — you cannot use it commercially or share it outside your household without an Extra Member account. Your subscription renews automatically, payments are nonrefundable, and Netflix must give you at least one month's notice before any price or plan change. Most disputes with Netflix must go to arbitration rather than court, but you can opt out of that requirement if you notify Netflix in writing within 30 days of first agreeing to the terms.
The Netflix Terms of Use establish the conditions under which users may access the service, granting only a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right with no transfer of title or broader interest. The document sets a minimum age of 18 for account creation or Extra Member status, restricts use to personal, non-commercial purposes within the user's household, and prohibits all AI- and machine-learning-related activity in connection with the service or its content. Payments are nonrefundable with no credits for partial periods, subscriptions auto-renew until terminated, and Netflix must provide at least one month's advance notice before price or plan changes take effect. Most disputes are subject to mandatory arbitration with a 30-day written opt-out window; non-arbitrable disputes must be pursued individually, and all court proceedings require waiver of jury-trial rights. Netflix's liability for personal injury and special or incidental damages is excluded across a broad set of affiliated parties.
As an individual user, you receive only a narrow, non-transferable right to access Netflix for personal, non-commercial use within your household. Your subscription renews and charges you automatically until you cancel, and any amounts paid are nonrefundable with no credit for unused time. Netflix must notify you at least one month before any price or plan change takes effect. Most disputes will be resolved through mandatory arbitration rather than in court, and even court disputes cannot be brought as class or representative actions; if you want to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, you must notify Netflix in writing within 30 days of first becoming subject to it.
