This is Paramount+'s Terms of Use — the legal agreement you accept when you use Paramount+, Pluto TV, or other Paramount/Skydance streaming services, covering everything from subscription billing to what you can do with the content. The most important thing to know is that by using the service, you agree to resolve all disputes through individual binding arbitration rather than suing in court or joining a class action lawsuit — meaning you give up the right to sue Paramount+ with other customers. If you want to keep your right to go to court, you must opt out of arbitration in writing within 30 days of creating your account.
This document constitutes the Terms of Use governing access to and use of Paramount+ and related Paramount/Skydance digital properties, establishing a contractual relationship predicated on user acceptance through continued use of the service. The most significant obligations include a binding mandatory arbitration clause with class action waiver, a unilateral right for Paramount to modify terms at any time, broad intellectual property licenses granted by users over submitted content, and auto-renewal subscription billing provisions. Notably, the document includes a 30-day opt-out window for arbitration that begins upon account creation, a class action waiver that eliminates collective legal recourse, and a limitation of liability cap that excludes consequential damages even in cases of negligence — provisions that materially restrict consumer legal remedies beyond standard industry practice. The document engages CCPA/CPRA (California Civil Code §1798.100 et seq.), COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501) for users under 13, FTC Act Section 5 unfair or deceptive practices authority, and general state consumer protection frameworks; compliance teams should note that arbitration opt-out procedures and California-specific rights require affirmative procedural mechanisms that must be operationally implemented and audited. The governing law is New York, with arbitration administered under AAA rules, creating potential conflict with California consumer protection statutes that may override contractual forum selection for California residents.
