Netflix can change its subscription prices or plans with at least one month's advance notice, and you can cancel before the change takes effect if you do not want to accept the new pricing.

The clause establishes a procedural mechanism for service modifications while creating a defined notice period and cancellation window that allows users to assess changes before they become binding. This structure addresses the operational need to adjust pricing and plan structures while providing users with information and exit rights before new terms apply.
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.
View change record →If Netflix raises the price of your subscription or modifies your plan, the terms state you will receive at least one month's notice, during which you can cancel to avoid being charged the new price.

"We may change our subscription plans and the price of our service from time to time. We will notify you at least one month before any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will become effective. If you do not wish to accept the price change or change to your subscription plan, you can cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.— Excerpt from Netflix's Netflix Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Price change notification requirements may interact with consumer protection regulations in covered territories governing material changes to ongoing subscription contracts, including Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and equivalent statutes in other covered markets. Several jurisdictions require price change notifications to be affirmative (requiring positive acceptance) rather than opt-out (permitting cancellation to reject). (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The one-month notice period is a meaningful protection but the opt-out structure (cancel to reject) rather than opt-in (affirmatively accept to continue) may not satisfy notification requirements in all covered jurisdictions. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users subject to digital content contract regulations and Australian Consumer Law users may have rights to affirmative acceptance requirements for material price changes. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party subscription providers (section 2.5) may have independent price change notification obligations to their end customers that are not addressed in these terms. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify that the operational notification mechanism (method of delivery, timing, content) satisfies the specific requirements of each covered jurisdiction's consumer protection framework, and assess whether any jurisdictions require affirmative consent to price increases.
