The clause grants Paramount+ the ability to end a paying user's Subscription solely on the basis of ad-blocking activity, making continued access contingent on allowing advertisements.
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.
