The updated terms now require users to resolve most disputes with Netflix through binding arbitration rather than in court, unless users exercise a time-limited right to opt out. Under the revised language, disputes will not be decided by a judge or jury. The terms state that Section 6 contains full details of this requirement. You can review Section 6 to understand your opt-out rights and the time period available to exercise them.
View change record →The updated terms introduce a new account category called 'Extra Members,' described as users who do not live in the same household as the Account Owner, available where the feature is offered. The terms now explicitly require that any person creating a Netflix account must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in their jurisdiction. The revised language also clarifies that some Netflix content and features may be accessed without creating an account or providing a payment method, while other options require a subscription. These changes formalize previously implicit account structures and establish age-gated account creation.
View change record →The updated Terms of Use clarify how Netflix membership operates and what users authorize by continuing service. The revised language explicitly defines the Netflix service as a personalized subscription enabling discovery and access to content, and states that membership continues until terminated and that Netflix may charge the user's payment method on each billing cycle unless the user cancels before the billing date. The updated terms no longer include the prior version's prominent language describing mandatory arbitration requirements and dispute resolution procedures, creating a material gap in documented dispute resolution authority compared to the previous terms.
