The agreement requires that most disputes between users and Noom be resolved through individual arbitration rather than court proceedings, covering claims that arose before or after the agreement's existence, with an exception for qualifying small claims court matters.

This provision requires individual arbitration for substantially all disputes and applies retroactively to claims arising before the agreement's existence, which may include claims related to advertising; the 30-day opt-out window establishes the only contractual mechanism to preserve court-based dispute resolution.
Noom's updated terms make clearer that the platform provides behavioral support, not medical treatment, and that coaching and food data features may not be fully accurate. This clarification is important for users who might view Noom as a substitute for medical advice or treatment. The terms now explicitly reserve Noom's right to suspend or revoke your access at any time, which expands the company's unilateral control over your account. Review the updated terms carefully, especially if you rely on Noom for health management or have shared sensitive health information on the platform.

"If you have a problem with us that we can't resolve, we and you agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the Services or your relationship with us, including claims that arose before the existence of this or any prior Agreement (including claims related to advertising) or claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement, will be resolved by individual arbitration. All other disputes must be arbitrated on an individual basis, which means you and we are each waiving our right to sue in court and have a court or jury trial.Excerpt from Noom's Terms of Service
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The arbitration clause and class action waiver interact with the FTC Act and FTC enforcement authority over unfair or deceptive consumer contracts; the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has previously challenged mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer financial products, and the FTC has signaled scrutiny of mandatory arbitration in consumer services; state arbitration enforcement standards vary, particularly in California, which has specific rules on consumer arbitration under the California Arbitration Act. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The clause applies retroactively to pre-agreement claims, including advertising-related claims, which is operationally distinct from many standard arbitration clauses that apply only to post-agreement disputes; this retroactive scope may face enforceability challenges in certain jurisdictions. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California courts have in some instances declined to enforce arbitration clauses found to be unconscionable; EU users may not be subject to binding arbitration under EU consumer protection directives that preserve access to courts; the retroactive application to advertising claims creates heightened exposure in jurisdictions with strong consumer protection statutes. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Compliance teams reviewing B2B or employer-sponsored Noom Health access agreements should confirm whether arbitration provisions apply equally to enterprise customers or are limited to individual consumer relationships; the clause does not explicitly address employer or health plan disputes. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should audit whether the 30-day opt-out notice period is operationally disclosed at the point of account creation and whether the opt-out mechanism satisfies state-specific consumer contract notification requirements; the retroactive scope of the clause warrants review against applicable state statutes of limitations and consumer protection frameworks.
