These are the legal rules you agree to when using Peacock, the streaming service. They cover how your subscription works, what content you can and cannot access, and how disputes are resolved — importantly, you generally cannot sue Peacock in court and must use arbitration instead. There are also rules about auto-renewing charges, account sharing, and how Peacock can change or cancel your service.

Regulatory exposure, material risk, and due diligence action items.
If you have a dispute with Peacock, you must resolve it through private arbitration rather than going to court. This means a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury, will decide the outcome.
You agree not to bring or participate in any class action lawsuit against Peacock. Any dispute must be handled individually, not as part of a group claim.
Peacock limits the amount it can be held responsible for to the total amount you paid for the service in the past 12 months, and disclaims liability for many types of damages entirely.
Your Peacock subscription automatically renews and your payment method is charged at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Peacock can change these Terms of Use at any time, and your continued use of the service after changes are posted means you have accepted the new terms.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create a Peacock account. Minors may only use the service under parental supervision.
All content on Peacock is owned by or licensed to Peacock, and you are only granted a limited, non-exclusive right to stream content for personal, non-commercial use.
