Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Subscribers who travel internationally or relocate may find that content they pay for becomes unavailable, and Netflix retains the right to change available content at any time without compensation.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Netflix's Terms of Use establish that all subscription fees are non-refundable including for unused periods, that Netflix can charge any payment method linked to your account if your primary method fails, and that class action lawsuits against Netflix are waived where local law allows. Members are prohibited from sharing their account beyond their household unless their plan specifically permits it. You can cancel your membership anytime via the Account page at netflix.com, which stops future charges at the end of your current billing cycle.
