Governing law determines which state's legal standards apply to any dispute, and the exclusion of conflict of law rules prevents courts from applying the law of a different state.
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.
