This is Paramount+'s Terms of Service, the legal agreement you accept when you create an account or use the streaming service. The most important thing to know is that it includes a mandatory arbitration clause and class action waiver, meaning that if you have a dispute with Paramount+, you generally cannot sue them in court as part of a group and must instead resolve it through private arbitration, though you have 30 days from accepting the terms to opt out of arbitration in writing. Your subscription automatically renews and you will be charged unless you cancel before the next billing cycle.
This document is a Terms of Service agreement governing user access to the Paramount+ streaming platform, establishing the legal basis for the subscriber relationship between users and Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS). The agreement states that users must accept binding arbitration for dispute resolution, waive class action rights, grant Paramount a broad royalty-free license to any user-submitted content, and agree that subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled. Notable provisions include a mandatory arbitration clause with a 30-day opt-out window, a class action waiver that limits collective legal recourse, and content license terms that the agreement asserts cover sublicensing and commercial use of user submissions, though the enforceability of such broad license grants may be subject to applicable consumer protection law depending on jurisdiction. The agreement engages COPPA and CCPA frameworks given its collection of personal data including viewing history, device identifiers, and location data, with California residents afforded specific opt-out and deletion rights; GDPR applicability may also be engaged for EU-based users accessing international service tiers. Compliance teams should evaluate the arbitration clause against state-level consumer protection statutes, particularly in California and New Jersey, which have limited or invalidated similar provisions in streaming service contexts.
