Some content on Paramount+ is not available outside certain geographic regions due to licensing agreements, and using a VPN or proxy to bypass these restrictions is prohibited.
This analysis describes what Paramount+'s agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Geographic content restrictions are standard in streaming services due to licensing agreements that vary by territory. This provision operationalizes Paramount+'s content licensing obligations and defines the scope of service delivery across different markets.
The updated terms now require all disputes with Paramount+ to be resolved through binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, and prohibit participation in class action lawsuits. This means individual users cannot join group litigation against the company and must pursue disputes through a private arbitration process, which may be more costly and less transparent than court proceedings. If you disagree with these terms, you should review the full arbitration section before continuing to use the service.
